I am trying to catch the UTM Params in the URL to add Source, Campaign etc to a User Account.
Sadly, I can't seem to figure out how to catch those params. As of know I following the Blog Article http://www.matthuggins.com/articles/tracking-new-user-registrations-by-source-search-terms
So, in my Application Controller I have following:
ApplicationController.class_eval do
before_filter :capture_referrer
protected
def capture_referrer
session[:referrer] = request.env['HTTP_REFERER'] if !session[:referrer]
end
end
In the create Action in the user controller
@user.referrer = session[:referrer]
and in the USer Model itself:
def set_traffic_source
if self.referrer
url = URI.parse(self.referrer)
self.source ||= uri.host.downcase.gsub(/^www\./, '')
self.traffic_keywords ||= search_termins(uri)
end
end
This all works fine, for catching the referer - But I actualy want to read out the UTMs passed into by the URI. How would I go about this?
