Google analytics are stilling reporting Paypal as a referrer. #69

Closed Hates closed 10 years ago

Hates commented 10 years ago

I know this change was added to add ?utm_nooverride=1 to the returning confirmation URL but I still see Paypal as the referrer for any purchases paid for with them:

referral_traffic_-_google_analytics-6

The only thing I could this was it might be related to me not having a confirmation step, but I have adjusted my fork to also include the parameter on the redirects: https://github.com/Hates/better_spree_paypal_express/commit/b5f930b6d2cc37b98b868935b8f7ff1ea8a77945

Any ideas?

I have absolutely no idea what could be causing this. I don't have a store in production to verify this on. Sorry! Hopefully someone else runs across this one.

I'll close this now. Hopefully I can find a way to fix it. Funnily enough Google don't even honour their own referral exclusion list :weary:
