Tracking click events with Google Analytics

[CleanCruiser]

I'm trying to track click events on a calendar built using fusion charts, found at www.cleancruising.com.au. I don't understand flash too well which is why I can't figure out how to track click events using Google Analytics. Google's help page on the matter can be found here: http://www.google.com/support/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?answer=55520&topic=11006. I think it requires editing the flash file itself but I'm not sure. Has anyone found a solution for this?

hi,

Thanks for using FusionCharts.

You can always call a JavaScirpt function from links.. say, link='GATracker('YOURGAID')'

**YOURGAID = the ID that GA gives to a page : e.g.UA-1644710-1

This will call a JS function on your HTML page (you need to write the function ...

 

<script type="text/javascript">

var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");

document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));

</script>

 

<script type="text/javascript">

function GATracker(GAID){

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(GAID);

pageTracker._initData();

pageTracker._trackPageview();

}

</script>

 

Now, make use of the link in your Chart XML and you will find GA receiving Data

Thanks for this suggestion. An example task currently has a value of link='/search.asp?dep_date=1/09/2008&region=1'. How do I combine this with the tracking link, eg link='JavaScript:GATracker('YOURGAID')'? Or can I add two links for the one task?

hi,

You need to provide only 1 link to a task. Either the URL or Javascript functions. You can go for either of the 2 options.

1. use the link to call 1 javascript function and 1 JS command : The first - tracking to GA, Second calling the ASP file.

link='GATracker('YOURGAID' );location.href='/search.asp?dep_date=1/09/2008&region=1' '

2. Write the JS for GA in the Search.asp file so that when ever it it called it will execute GA Tracking.
