Adding a facebook pixel to the site? Use add-on or just code it?

[totallytech]

Hey All,

I've recently started a facebook advertising campaign and I wanted to check the conversions etc to see what level of business is coming through. I've found a Spainish add-on called Facebook Pixel which is free. I've activated it in the admin panel but there is no front end for configuration (other than putting in the tracking id).

 

I'm not really sure how I'm suppose to use this to get an output on the add to cart page etc...

 

I have a special offers page on my main website, which when you click on buy now forwards you to the whmcs cart. They are on different domains though, so I'm trying to get people go visit http://mysite.com/special-offers but I'm tracking the output of https://secure.mysite.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=23

 

Whats the best way of doing this?

Side issue - Does anyone know why my pages show the ascii version of the I've instead of I've on this forum?</p>

 

No clue, but its ugly.

 

What browser are you using to visit the forums?

Lol, well I'm switching between Firefox and Chrome - Firefox is the one that seems to add all the encoding.... how odd lol

That post was made from Chrome I assume.

 

You might consider Refreshing Firefox:

Just back on main topic - I installed the Spanish Facebook Pixel Plugin - http://www.whmcs.com/members/communityaddons.php?action=viewmod&id=4758

 

The only trouble is now my server is alerting that this is malware!

 

I'm going to disable it and just drop the code from facebook straight in to my footer.tpl
