Not tracking "hidden" requests

General questions
1

Hello,

in many thread the problem is discussed but I´ve one more question to it.

What is my mission?
For shorter URL I use a kind of redirect script. That means “q.domain.com/t/15” is redirectet via a php script to “www.domain.com/content/HowToUseMyCameraUnderWater”. But I want to have a statistic also for the redirect script. How often is the “t” channel used instead of the “f” channel.

I tried something like…
…tracking it as a campaign an redirected the user to “www.domain.com/content/HowToUseMyCameraUnderWater?pk_campagn=F-Channel”. But this doesn´t work.
…making a parallel request by the script which is loading the piwik one-pixel-image before redirecting the user. But this doesn´t work.

How can I solve my requirement/problem. At the end a campagn tracking would be wonderful for this.

Which informatione do you need for helping me?

This should work fine. but see FYI those faqs: http://piwik.org/faq/troubleshooting/faq_51/

and maybe you need this feature https://github.com/piwik/piwik/issues/2624

Sorry…I know the FAQ and that is the reason why I´m not understanding what the problem is.

The redirecting script has no PIWIK because of the FAQ and because it is faster to load only the redirect header. But I tested it for a short period of time with the redirection url generated from piwik for campaign tracking. No data recorded. But all other statistics works fine.

Is piwik tracking with ad blockers?
