Google Analytics on the Form

Question

486/5000
Hello. I use a Google Analytics code on my sites on the thank you page after submitting a form. However, in Canvas, it displays a message on the form itself. Is it possible for me to put this code somewhere to count the form submissions of a site without needing the thank-you page for the submission? It would be great to just view the message and Google count as form submission. I thank you all.

Hello,

This is surely possible but you will need to make some JS changes. Find the following code in the js/functions.js File inside the contactForm: function() Function Block:

if( data.alert != 'error' ) { $(form).clearForm(); }

and replace it with:


if( data.alert != 'error' ) { $(form).clearForm(); }
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/some-page']);

You can change the /some-page in the above code to whatever you would like to call your page.

This should definitely work fine. Hope this Helps!

Great, this will help me a lot. But, if in that case, I do not want to call any other page. Let it just display the success message and send the signal to Google Analytics? I leave the '/ some page' blank? Thanks!

Hello,

The above code will not navigate the page but will just register a Page View on Google Analytics with an identifier: /some-page . So, you can change this to something simple so that it is easy to remember like: /contact-form-success .
