External Referrer Problem with Caching

[archie]

Hello

I needed to get external referrer in the forms, I implemented it per tutorial on this
URL: https://support.themecatcher.net/quform-wordpress/guides/integration/referrer-tracking

And it works fine! But, problem comes when I enable cache on the website.

Is there any alternative to get the external_referrer parameter value in AJAX or JS?

Thank You
Archie

Hi Ally

Thanks a million! It did work, now the referral hidden input field gives the value regardless of caching…

However, problem I saw is that, If I google my keywords, go to my website from google and fill out the form on homepage, it does show google as a referral.

But, If I move around on the website and fill out the form after that, it shows my own website as a referral, shows the previous URL where I was on my website, before I moved to form page and filled it out.

Is there any way to modify this code in a way so that it shows the original referral in value? Not my website, even If I or customer moves around the website pages before they fill the form out?

Again, Thanks a million. Really appreciate your help!

Hi Ally

I tried to the code, it leaves the referrer url field empty if the previous page (referrer) was on my website.

But, its different from what we need to achieve.

Example Scenario:

1) User finds website on google

2) On the website, user clicks around couple pages

3) He ends on landing page and fills out the form

in the form, on referrer field we need to show Google (the initial, primary referrer). Can you please tell me how can we achieve it?

Thanks a million
