Hello!

I need to track social buttons, those in header. For a simple link, tracking code looks like this: <a onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'ClickLink', 'Facebook', 'Message']);" href="https://www.facebook.com/michaelvasin" target="_blank">Facebook</a>

So where do I insert this onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'ClickLink', 'Facebook', 'Message']);" part?

Hey Vermishelle!

Here is the solution i came up with, Please follow this very carefully.

1. Find this file helper-social-media.php inside of this folder ENFOLD/includes/
2. Add this on the line 33 ( after this line var $counter = 1; ) static $social_counter = 0;
3. Line 53 ( function build_icon() ). after this global $avia_config; add the following
$search_array = array('facebook','twitter', 'skype', 'pinterest', 'soundcloud');
//On this one is the key, i’m adding facebook, twitter, …. base on the elements i have added on the enfold options so if you have others add those and remove the ones that you don’t need ‘soudcloud’ for instance
4. Find this on line 88 roughly
$html .= "<a {$blank} href='".$icon['social_icon_link']."' ".av_icon_string($icon['social_icon'])." title='".ucfirst($icon['social_icon'])."'></a>";

5. Replace the above ( 4. ) with this.
```
 if ( in_array( $search_array[static::$social_counter], $search_array) ) {
				
			    $html .= "<a {$blank} href='".$icon['social_icon_link']."' ".av_icon_string($icon['social_icon'])." title='".ucfirst($icon['social_icon'])."' onclick='". "_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'ClickLink', '". $search_array[static::$social_counter]."', 'Message']).". "'></a>";
			   	static::$social_counter++;
			   	

			}else{
				$html .= "<a {$blank} href='".$icon['social_icon_link']."' ".av_icon_string($icon['social_icon'])." title='".ucfirst($icon['social_icon'])."'></a>";	
			} 
```
And that is it.

David

I changed “vimeo” to “vkontakte” icon, according to this customization https://kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-custom-social-icons/

Of corse, I changed your $search_array = array('facebook','twitter', 'skype', 'pinterest', 'soundcloud'); to $search_array = array('facebook','VKontakte');

Anyway, Facebook icon was left untouched, but it doesn’t work as well.

Hi!

Try to use this code instead:
```
 if ( in_array( $search_array[static::$social_counter], $search_array) ) {
				
$html .= "<a {$blank} href='".$icon['social_icon_link']."' ".av_icon_string($icon['social_icon'])." title='".ucfirst($icon['social_icon'])."' onclick='_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'ClickLink', '". $search_array[static::$social_counter]."', 'Message'])'></a>";
			   	static::$social_counter++;
			   	

			}else{
				$html .= "<a {$blank} href='".$icon['social_icon_link']."' ".av_icon_string($icon['social_icon'])." title='".ucfirst($icon['social_icon'])."'></a>";	
			} 
```
