CA not detecting when a page is accessed via a vanity URL

[bryanboza]

Problem Statement

Content analytics in dotCMS is not properly detecting when a page is accessed through a vanity URL. The analytics property for identifying vanity URLs always shows false, regardless of whether the page is accessed via a vanity URL or its original URL. This issue affects the accuracy of analytics data, making it difficult for users to track and evaluate the performance of pages accessed through vanity URLs. It impacts marketing teams and content managers who rely on this data for insights.

Steps to Reproduce

• Log into the dotCMS backend and ensure vanity URLs are configured.
• Access a page using its configured vanity URL.

• Observe that the property for identifying vanity URL access is set to false, even though the page was accessed via a vanity URL.

Acceptance Criteria

• Content analytics should accurately detect and reflect whether a page was accessed via a vanity URL.
• The property should display true when a page is accessed through a vanity URL.
