Hi Jason,

The button code is @
/components/com_easyblog/themes/default/blog.comment.box.php line 306

The button already has an onClick event attached to it, so you can either:
1. write a custom function to overwrite the original event, as long as your custom function executes the original onClick event
OR
2. Tweak the button's onClick function by editing the function codes in:
/components/com_easyblog/assets/js/eblog-dev.js line 1116
Then replace the file:
/components/com_easyblog/assets/js/eblog.js
with eblog-dev.js in the same folder

If you are having trouble with this, do kindly post the codes you would like to add, along with your site's information, and we'll see if can help you add this in.

Is there another way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? Sounds like I may not be approaching it in the most efficient method.

Hi Jason,

Perhaps you can share the codes that you would like to add in?

Just adding this to the click event:

onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'blog', 'comment',,, false]);"

Hello Jason,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as we are actually pretty occupied with the beta release of EasyBlog 3.5 today. Thanks for getting back to us on this. What you can actually do to avoid any hacking or customizations, is to insert the block of codes below in your template's index.php file. Probably just before the closing body tag,

<script type="text/javascript">
sQuery(document).ready(function(){
	var tmp = eblog.comment.save;

	eblog.comment.save	= function(){
		_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'blog', 'comment',,, false]);
		tmp();
	}
})
</script>

Okay, I'll give that a try. When you refer to the blog template, are you referring to the main Joomla template or the EasyBlog template?

I'd love to jump on the new beta release, but don't want to introduce any changes to the site just yet. Can't wait for the bugs to be worked out and new features to become available.

Hello Jason,

Sorry, I was referring to the main Joomla template

Okay, I believe I've got that set then. Will have to check Google Analytics stats tomorrow to see if it's registering the event tracking behavior.

Thanks for your help.

Hello Jason,

You are most welcome
