679920 - Add WebTrends tracking for social sharing on collage page

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: webifyme.org, defect)

Description

[William Reynolds [:williamr]]

In addition to tracking the number of quizzes started and completed, we'd also like to track the number of people using the social sharing buttons after they have created their collages.

The two buttons we would like to track clicks for: 
Post to Facebook
Share on Twitter

Note: We don't want to track the people clicking on the iframe buttons that appear on the homepage or when users are viewing collages created by others. We just want to track clicks for these static buttons.

Laura or Brad, can you provide the WebTrends code that should be added? Thanks!

can we also do this based on locale to start to get some insight in to questions like which regions and locales are users more/less likely to share things like this on social networks?

any thoughts on when this data is likely to be availble?

the highest value of the data is at or around launch time of the campaign.

This should be doable once we implement the basic click tracking on these links. We should be able to use some sort of pathing report to see people who started on webifyme.org/de and then shared, etc. 

Brad - any updates here?

Put the following dcsMultiTrack calls in the appropriate places for each 'click' event (you can place the twitter call right in the <a> tag the Facebook click handler seems to be embedded in some external JS):

onclick="dcsMultiTrack('DCS.dcssip','webifyme.org', 'DCS.dcsuri', '/', 'WT.ti', 'Link:  Twitter', 'WT.dl', 99);"
onclick="dcsMultiTrack('DCS.dcssip','webifyme.org', 'DCS.dcsuri', '/', 'WT.ti', 'Link:  Facebook', 'WT.dl' , 99);"

Thanks Brad! Assigning to Brez now for implementation.

Brez, can you add the dcsMultiTrack calls from comment 4 to the Facebook and Twitter sharing buttons that appear to collage creators? This is to be shown to users who have just created a collage and want to share their creation using those buttons.
