Google Analytics integration

[Steve]

Since the events search / filtering is AJAX-based, I’m just wondering about the best way to integrate with Google Analytics. I’m guessing I either need to fire custom events via JS (based on onchange or similar for interface elements), or maybe use the Measurement Protocol to trigger custom hits from the server.

I’ve searched and not found any related posts, but since this must be quite a common requirement, I thought I’d check first before experimenting. Would either method work better, based on how The Events Calendar works?

Hi Mike and welcome back to the forums!

Good question. The new(ish) Google Universal Analytics has a method for capturing virtual pageviews which is nicely summarized in this article. I can’t say I have personally used it on any of my sites or tests, but it should provide a good starting point for capturing any AJAX page view on your site.

Cheers!
Geoff
