Re: Google Analytics Events and Tracking User-Entered Search

@jsandora -- Quick thought on this: Have you tried adding the code in your master pages directly instead of in a JS file? It shouldn't make a difference ,but see if that works maybe?

Re: Google Analytics Events and Tracking User-Entered Search

This is the script - it's for HTML5 targets using a top nav skin, and will handle both the top nav search and search bar proxies. It'll capture the search input when clicking the button or pressing enter. The result is sent to Google Analytics as an event; with a category 'Search', action 'SearchFo...

Re: Google Analytics Events and Tracking User-Entered Search

This is the other script I'm using to track search results; i.e. what page people visit from the results. Very cool. I think GA handles this through the Event Flow metric. You might even be able to filter a certain Event Flow for a certain search keyword. That is to see what page is most commonly v...

Re: Google Analytics Events and Tracking User-Entered Search

My first try at this used the original approach which gets the search term from the input box. I got that working fine, it was just slightly more complex since a topic can have multiple search inputs with that same class name - e.g. Madcap's template home page will have an invisible search in the t...

I've been looking at this in a bit more depth, and have come up with a different approach for HTML top nav skins. Thanks, Dave!

Re: Google Analytics Events and Tracking User-Entered Search

This thread was for the tripane skin (before top nav existed), and in the top nav skin there is no Toolbar tab or 'toolbar script'. You should add the full script (as posted by Ineffable) to your master page . Either include the script inline, or as a link to a js file. I haven't tested it, but the...

This sample code is exactly what I need, but I'm unsure where it belongs. Does it go in the script section of the skin file, the master page, or toolbar.js? Also, do I turn off search tracking on Google Analytics, or do I need to turn it on and enter some kind of query string? Thanks! From what I r...

Dynamic heading styles?

Came across this scenario in the past but never really gave it much thought. Here is an example: 1. Create a topic with H1. 2. Inlcude H2, H3 styles in same topic. 3. Use the Flare feature to use the Heading style based on the TOC structure. 4. Move that topic to level 3 in the TOC structure. H1 is ...
