Problem with on_sent_ok in Contact Form 7

Hello Breakling!

Maybe I have to clarify the problem. “on_sent_ok” is used to assign a JavaScript code that will be executed when a form submission completes and mail has been sent successfully. I use this small code line to track these user actions as Goals:

on_sent_ok: “_paq.push([‘trackGoal’, 24]);”

For the future Contact Form 7 recommends DOM Events. But I have to admit that I get off at this point.

Please let me know if you feel responsible or not.

Thanks!

Niklas

Hi @maidstein,

WP-Piwik only creates a connection between Piwik and your WordPress page including getting the JavaScript code from Piwik and posting it to your page, if enabled.

But WP-Piwik is not involved in the tracking itself, and because I’m not using events on my personal sites, I can’t really help you with this issue.

Best, you should as the Piwik community (https://forum.piwik.org) or the Contact Form support.

Just one idea, but not tested: If you take the code shown on the CF7 support page, and you just replace the Google Analytics call by the Piwik call, shouldn’t that work?

In functions.php:

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'mycustom_wp_footer' );
 
function mycustom_wp_footer() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener( 'wpcf7mailsent', function( event ) {
    _paq.push([‘trackGoal’, 24]);
}, false );
</script>
<?php
}

Hi Breakling!

I have not tried your idea ’cause as I believe this is a global solution for all sites. But I need different code for different forms. Unfortunately I do not dare too much to solve the problem in this way. Sorry!

So I decided to search furthermore for another solution and found a plugin for Contact Form 7 called Contact Form 7 Redirection. Here you can add individual JS-Code as in my case:

_paq.push([‘trackGoal’, 24]);

The number ’24’ is variable from form to form.

That’s it!

However, thanks for helping me!

Thx for your feedback! Hope this will also help some other users. ??

I tested it and I can confirm its working. Remember if you want to track multiple goals, you have to choose a unique value for 'mycustom_wp_footer' for each goal.
