Track clicks in Layerslides

Hey beverlystone,
I believe this thread should help: Add onclick event in button shortcode
The thread refers to a button but the onclick event is added to the link of the button (a) so the same can be applied to any link.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback, the script adds the onclick attribute to the link from the functions.php based on the like custom class.
so if you consider this code:
jQuery('.ga-buy a').attr('onclick', 'ga(\'send\', \'event\', \'Buy Button\', \'Resume\', \'Resume Template Download\')\;');
the link custom class ga-buy is the target, wherever this class is found the attribute onclick is added.
With this method you are not editing the link itself so there is no URL as in your example.

Now the question is onClick’,’_gaq.push( correct or is onclick’,’ga( correct?
I don’t use Google Analytics but this document points to gtag now being correct.
If this is correct I would try this script in your functions.php:

function add_custom_gtag(){
?>
<script>
(function($){
	$('.custom-class a').attr('onclick', 'gtag(\'event\', \'Banner\', \'Click\', \'BSO\')\;');
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_custom_gtag');

with your link having the custom class: custom-class
I would recommend first setting up a test page with a plain image link and a custom class to test this to see if it is logging in your Google Analytics correctly.

Hi,
In the layerslider you would click your image, then attributes, then add the custom class:

But you can also add the onclick attribute directly in the layerslider without using the script or the custom class in the custom attribute field:

onclick gtag('event', 'Banner', 'Click', 'BSO');
So that would probably be the easiest solution for you
