Hi Vicky,

 Sorry this is so late, I have just seen your post now. 

I'm using a script that tracks document downloads, mailto links and external site links automatically. You can save it as a js file and the link goes in the script template area of your siteanalytics.config file. That means it applies to all portals in an install.

I'll paste it in here, but not sure what the forum will do with the tags but let's give it a go ! The first bit is the full siteanalytics.config file, and the second bit is the full GA_downloadtracker.js file

Cheers,
Anna

Hi Meredith,

The first part is the full content for the SiteAnanlytics.config file that you'll find in the root folder of the installation (if you have multiple portals it's worth looking up how the config files work over different portals).

The second part can be pasted into notepad and saved as a .js file, in my case I've called it GA_downloadtracker.js and saved it in the /js/ folder in the root folder of the Dnn installation. And that's it!

You will see new Events in the GA interface (called 'External' 'Email' and 'Download'). Click on these, and look at the Event Label for the detail.

I'm working on an update to the script that will auto track buttons and other page object actions as well.

As for the other, sorry, your examples didn't make it to the post - but the remarketing code could go in a skin, or even in a blank module if you don't have access to the skin. But it would be best practise to split the js and the html - the js can be added to the SiteAnanlytics.config file, and the html to the skin.

You could also ask Bruce very nicely (http://www.ifinity.com.au/Products/Go...) if he plans to add remarketing codes to his free Analytics module (very useful for anyone who doesn't have installation or skin access).
