Click tracking doesn't work anymore

@lrwebks did it work in 4.x?

@anybody: As far as I'm aware it did work in 4.x, yes.

I have searched for a bit and can't seem to really grasp how the click track system is supposed to work. It uses a route and controller, which then passes the track event on to the tracker via trackClick(). So far, so good. But, the route that is used for that doesn't seem to appear anywhere or be requested/called/opened anywhere. Does 11.x require a rewrite of that system, possibly?

@grevil: Perhaps you could take a look at what is the problem here?

Then it shouldn't be hard to find for you? Just look up how it worked and what broke it?

Well, I was so focused on my research within the ad_track module, that I somehow missed changing the ad content formatter from “Ad content” to “Ad content with click tracking”… So it still works. Another mystery solved.

There is one thing bugging me, though: This formatter lies within the ad_content module, but is specifically designed for the ad_track module. I think that is bad, because they are supposed to be independent and exchangeable pieces of the ad puzzle. But I also don't know if putting the formatter into the ad_track module would help any better than the current approach. @anybody, do you think this needs a change?
