Tracking outbound links

[rheibel]

We use HAP as the main school student homepage. We want to work out how often students use some websites the school pays ££££ to subscribe too. goggle analytics's would be the obvious option to record a event when they click on a link. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1136920?hl=en extract

 You'll also need to add (or modify) the onclick attribute to your links. Use this example as a model for your own links: [url="http://www.example.com"]Check out example.com[/url]

Dose anyone know where I could adjust the "a href" to include the needed

onclick="trackOutboundLink('http://www.example.com'); return false;

so they match the example in the suport.google.com link above

Finally had time to look properly in to this with a working solution. Obviously try at own risk with a secondary hap server !!! 2 files need modification: masterpage.master and hap.web.js.js masterpage.master needs both the goggle Java Scripts for analytics's and the code in the master attachment just before the closing head> line.

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7478520?hl=en&ref_topic=1008079 

then in hap.web.js.js function starting on line 252 needs replacing with see hap.web.javascript.txt That's it. when a student uses a on-line resource we see the events arriving in goggle analytics's and can see what on-line services get used and if a sites usage justifies there renewal cost p.s i changes goggles example code so sites open in a new window if you dont want this behaver replace "window.open" with "document.location" in the masterpage.master file

hap.web javascript.txt

master extra code.txt
