Google Analytics (Universal) Event Tracking – Social Media Header Links

Hi,

I’m trying to track user clicks on the Social Media links in the header bar via Google Analytics (Universal) event tracking. I’ve followed the instructions I found at https://kriesi.at/support/topic/tracking-of-header-social-buttons-in-google-analytics/ and replaced the Google Analytics Asynchronous code with the Universal code but it doesn’t seem to work ….

I’ve replaced replaced
onclick=’_gaq.push([‘_trackEvent’, ‘ClickLink’, ‘”. $search_array[static::$social_counter].”‘, ‘Message’])’

with
onClick=’ga(‘send’, ‘event’, ‘ClickLink’, ‘”. $search_array[static::$social_counter].”‘, ‘Message’);’

When I render the page in Google Chrome and inspect the Social Media elements, the code seems OK except the quotation marks look miss-formed and muddled … I get the following code … double quotes around the “ga” and the rest single quotes … not sure if this is the reason the tracking doesn’t work or something else?

onclick=”ga(” send’, ‘event’, ‘ClickLink’, ‘Facebook’, ‘Message’);’

Does anyone know the correct way to get this to work? Any help or advice would be gratefully received

Many thanks in advance
