Hey everyone,
Trying to link up a few buttons in the visual studio to our google analytics. We are using a dynamic value for the class name but it seems to be injecting that value into a pre named plasmic class. Something like “plasmic_all_default_class” etc. does anyone have any tips on setting these buttons up for GA?
Yes, I’m setting it up that way using dynamic values I’m pulling from the CMS. I’m not sure if it’s a GA issue or just user error on my part, but none of the clicks are tracking. I’ve done the same with using a DV as an ID and that doesn’t work either.
- Do you see the added class in your final markup? (As shown in the video, I added
xyzand was able to find it in the final HTML) - If you just add a page in your site codebase containing
<button className="xyz">blah</button>, i.e. not using Plasmic, does that work with the GA setup?
Hi Zach, I spotted the issue - you’re right, it is indeed due to some extra nesting of elements. This is what I see - there’s a button containing a link nested inside of it.
Some solution steps:
• You shouldn’t need a raw HTML button - you should only need links.
• Try to remove the nesting of the link in the button (or a link in a link, so don’t just change the button to a link) - i.e., there should be just one link. That will cause issues with SSR as it’s malformed HTML. (We’ll introduce a feature to help you detect these illegal nests)
• The id and class were on the button, but these should be placed on the link instead.
• You can consider using the built-in Button component (instead of a raw HTML <button>) which you can customize and which will behave either as a link if you have a URL specified, or a normal form button otherwise.
Thank you so much for the timely response @yang As always, we very much appreciate everything you’ve helped us with. @precious_cockroach we can try this fix and see if we can get rolling with analytics?
@yang following up here.
Our site matches what we see in the studio on every browser except Safari on desktop, where it’s completely broken:
Any ideas on what’s happening here? Is that a known issue?
