537167 - Add src parameter to all links to getpersonas.com

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Ryan Doherty (:rdoherty)]

In order to support bug 528321, all links to getpersonas.com from the Firefox firstrun and any other pages should have a 'src' parameter of 'external-firefox-firstrun' in the url. 

Example:
http://www.getpersonas.com/?src=external-firefox-firstrun

This allows us to track if users came to getpersonas.com and installed the addon from mozilla.com pages.

If there are any questions let me know, thanks!

So if I'm reading this right, all links from mozilla.com to getpersonas.com should have this? And 'external-firefox-firstrun' is the single 'src'?

Yes and no.

Every link could have this param added.

external-firefox-firstrun is not the only src (right Ryan?) because it doesn't work for non-firstrun pages.  You or Ryan can propose somthing that makes sense.

For now, I'll assume "external-firefox-firstrun" for first run pages and "external-firefox" for other pages on mozilla.com.

so the link used on localized 3.6 firstrun/whatsnew pages like:
http://www.getpersonas.com/cs/gallery/ should become: 
http://www.getpersonas.com/cs/gallery/?external-firefox-firstrun ?

I am asking because comment 0 is using the root url, I want to make sure that adding that parameter is actually useful for other url schemes :)

It should be http://www.getpersonas.com/cs/gallery/?src=external-firefox-firstrun

Those pages are now replaced by an invitation to upgrade to a supported release
