Of course I have, thanks.
The docs say
%{Foobar}n The contents of note Foobar from another module.
The behavior here is exported form the CookieTracking module which
currently does not output the COOKIENAME to the logfile. This is also
discussed in detail on the cookie tracking docs. What the docs don't
tell you when recommend "%{cookie}n" vs "%{cookie}i" is that the 'n'
modifier is -not- a direct replacement for the 'i' modifier since they
output differently to the logfile.
Its a subtle but important difference. What I am looking for is a way
to track the user ID on the first hit(n) but also get the cookiename
(i).
It may not exist which is why I also asked if anyone knew of a patch
or alternative module that can accomplish this task.
