Button shortcode attribute request: 'onclick' event

    Hi there Prali,

    First of all, thanks for the great support so far and the regular updates with new features, keep up the good work!

    Secondly, I was wondering if it would be possible to include an ‘onclick’ event via an attribute in the button shortcode?

    The purpose of this is to track these button clicks via google analytics. This requires the following code to be added to the HTML hyperlink: onclick=”_gaq.push([‘_trackEvent’, ‘category’, ‘action’, ‘label’]);”

    So that the HTML hyperlink looks like this: “<a” href=”https://google.com&#8221; onclick=”_gaq.push([‘_trackEvent’, ‘category’, ‘action’, ‘label’]);” class=”wpi_designer_button” target=”” rel=””><i class=””></i><span class=”wpi_text”>LINK TEXT</span>””

    In this code, the parameters ‘category’, ‘action’, and ‘label’ can differ per button

    In order to be able to re-use the same button, it would be great to add this via the button shortcode, for example: [wpi_designer_button id=12 link=”https://google.com&#8221; onclick=”_gaq.push([‘_trackEvent’, ‘category’, ‘action’, ‘label’]);”]

    Hope this makes sense to you ??

    I would do this manually, but since the plugin makes use of shortcodes, we don’t have access to the HTML markup of the hyperlinks that are used in buttons.

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    Hey Prali,

    I just thought of something! ??

    Would it also be possible to make these hyperlinks set to no-follow links? In other words, can you give the option to set the rel=”nofollow” attribute in the HTML hyperlinks?

    I’m guessing you already thought of this, if you were planning to make extra additions possible within the < a > opening tag? ??

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    Hey I’m back ??

    I’ve just discovered this rel attribute options is already a functionality after you’ve enabled it via the global settings of the plugin, didn’t know this setting was there.

    Then, the ‘Rel’ field appears when creating a button where you can enter a value. Here, I entered: nofollow

    However, even after succesfully saving (even checked in the database if it saved properly), it still does not function as it should. When checking the button on the frontend, the HTML a rel attribute still says: rel=”” => so, empty!

    Any ideas?

    Hi again, may I kindly ask for a status update regarding the ‘onclick’ feature?

    I would like to use this with Google Tag Manager to push variables into the dataLayer in order to track these button clicks with Google Analytics.

    Basically, like the ‘rel=’ attribute, this feature would mean an ‘onclick=’ field where the user would be able to put in the custom code.

    Or, more generally and more robust perhaps, another solution would be if the user could be presented a field in which he could put whatever code block he wants, which would be inserted into the opening < a > tag?

    Best regards!
