[10:58:17 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> hi all

[10:59:10 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> I have a question about events tracking, mainly about user access on a portlet

[10:59:36 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> Actually a such event is logged

[11:00:43 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> but how ? Is there a rest api/method that can be called for such thing ?

[11:01:29 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> When you say user access on a portlet, what do you mean?

[11:26:53 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> jwennmacher: sorry

[11:27:20 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> hum when a user render a portlet

[11:28:07 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> my need would be to send an events with javascript to an api

[11:29:02 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> becuase with the feature https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal/pull/141 we can't generate events

[11:29:22 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> when the user click on the link as it's a direct link

[11:30:53 CDT(-0500)] <jgribonvald> so i have two choice, generate links with servlet redirect that will generate the event, or adding a click events that call an api on events method

[11:31:09 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> there is no current rest API to generate portal events

[11:31:14 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that said it wouldn't be hard to create one

[11:31:36 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and the google analytics js code in 4.0.12 has examples on doing click, ajax, proceede handling
