Tracking tab 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, for example, in the following way:

[su_tabs]
[su_tab] Content [/su_tab]
[su_tab class="my-custom-tab"] Content [/su_tab]
[/su_tabs]

Now you can use the following JavaScript code:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
// Handle tab title click
$('.su-tabs-nav').on('click', '.my-custom-tab', function() {
setTimeout(function() {
// Track event in GA
ga('send', {
hitType: 'event',
eventCategory: 'Tabs',
eventAction: 'clicked',
eventLabel: 'Shortcodes Ultimate Campaign'
});
}, 100);
});
});
