// This assumes Facebook buttons are using the Facebook Javascript SDK. | |
// Thanks to Google for most of this code, see the Social Interaction Analytics guide at | |
// https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/gaTrackingSocial | |
// Facebook provides a Javascript event framework that allows you to subscribe to events | |
// happening within the Facebook Javascript SDK and provides data accordingly. | |
// To track a like, subscribe to the edge.create event and then use the callback to | |
// execute the Analytics tracking code: | |
FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function(targetUrl) { | |
_gaq.push(['_trackSocial', 'facebook', 'like', targetUrl]); | |
}); | |
// To track an unlike, subscribe to the edge.remove event and then use the callback to | |
// execute the Analytics tracking code: | |
FB.Event.subscribe('edge.remove', function(targetUrl) { | |
_gaq.push(['_trackSocial', 'facebook', 'unlike', targetUrl]); | |
}); | |
// To track a share, subscribe to the message.send event and then use the callback to | |
// execute the Analytics tracking code: | |
FB.Event.subscribe('message.send', function(targetUrl) { | |
_gaq.push(['_trackSocial', 'facebook', 'send', targetUrl]); | |
}); |
