Track visitors' path through your site
Visitor tracker allows you to attach the visitors path through your website to any contact form submission., (*1)
To use, install Visitor Tracker by placing the files in a directory of your choosing in the root of your SilverStripe project., (*2)
Then in the method that submits your form data, add the code, (*3)
$email = new Email(
'email_from',
'email_to',
'email_subject'
);
$email->setTemplate( 'YourEmailTemplate' );
$data = $this->getData();
$data[ "Visitor" ] = Visitor::initVisitor();
$email->populateTemplate( $data );
This gives you access to the visitor objects fields which in turn give you access to the array of pageView objects, (*4)
Below is a demonstration of an email template, (*5)
