hearthsim / django-reflinks Goto Github PK

One of my customers uses Hubspot for their referrals, which adds a tremendous amount of cruft to their tracking links. For instance, this is the automated link created by a HubSpot email to my home page (sanitized example which was originally 304 characters long):

example.com/?utm_campaign=some+string+here&utm_source=another_short_string&utm_medium=email&utm_content=123456789&_hsenc=100_CHARACTER_RANDOM_STRING&_hsmi=1234567

The default URLField length is 200 characters, and that gets taken up very quickly if a link has a 100 character random string as part of it.

What I've done to temporarily fix this is increase the max_length parameter of the ReferralHit.next URLField to 500 characters. I thought that perhaps stripping the query parameters from the self.next parameter on the ReferralHit model would be another solution. Any thoughts? I'd be happy to provide a PR if one is desired!

Hi! 👋

I see that some work has been done to create version 0.6.0.
Are there any plans to release it on PyPI?

Thank you!

Thanks for building this!

In a Chrome incognito window, REMOTE_ADDR is a null value so this library throws the IntegrityError above.

I suggest allowing null=True, blank=True on this field to allow blank values. Happy to add a PR if that's helpful! Let me know if any suggestions or concerns?
