Tracking spoiler opening in Google Analytics

This article presents the example of JavaScript-code. The code should be placed in the main file of your current active theme scripts. If you don’t know where to paste JavaScript-code you can use a special plugin.

Don’t forget to connect Google Analytics to your website.

It is recommended to add unique CSS-class to the shortcode you are going to track. You can make it in the following way:

[su_spoiler class="my-custom-spoiler"] Content [/su_spoiler]

Now you can use the following JavaScript code:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
// Handle spoiler title click
$('.my-custom-spoiler').on('click', '.su-spoiler-title', function() {
var $spoiler = $(this).parent('.su-spoiler');
setTimeout(function() {
// Check that spoiler is open
if (!$spoiler.hasClass('su-spoiler-closed')) {
// Track event in GA
ga('send', {
hitType: 'event',
eventCategory: 'Spoilers',
eventAction: 'open',
eventLabel: 'Campaign Name'
});
}
}, 100);
});
});
