Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating where share URLs are assembled and where the module's settings page is defined; then trace each sharing method. Done means generated simpleshare links carry the requested UTM values and the settings provide the proposed tagging controls.

Description

Thank you for this "simple", but great module.
I only miss one thing: integration with Google Analytics URL tagging, to track the visitors coming to the site through simpleshare links.

Something like:
Before pass the URL to tinyurl add those parameters to the url:
mywebsite.com/mynode/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=simplesharing&utm_campaign=node-title

It would be great if simpleshare could add some kind of custom URL tagging fields to the settings page:

  • utm_source=twitter | delicious | facebook | email (the method used, generated)
  • utm_medium=simpleshare
  • utm_campaign=node-title
