Measure number of times users connect with Twitter


I'm using a connect with twitter button on my site, no an OAuth, but I wanted a way to accurately judge how many people pressed connect. There is a way to have a custom connect with twitter button like this. so i was thinking the button might bring you to a url to record the visit and then redirect right back to the main page. I'm not sure how or even if this idea will even work. How would I go a bout doing this?


Solution

  • as present on the twitter website a method like this one can enable custom signin

    document.getElementById("signin-btn").onclick = function () {
          T.signIn();
        };
    

    simply call a url from inside this method fto track the number of clicks to this button some thing like this.

    document.getElementById("signin-btn").onclick = function () {
              T.signIn();
    $.get("UR_LINK");
            };
    

    now on the server side. because i dont know what tech ur r using psuedo code can be

    On_Request()
    {
    clicked++;
    saveTODataBaseClickedNumber(clicked);
    }
