Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
bassangler Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I cannot set up registration tracking (Goals) in Google Analytics. I've tried every method in GA (expressions, begins with, etc) to no avail. It seems the link that is sent in emails for completing registrations is a redirect that does not contain the GA code. I searched the support forums for a fix, but only found people with the same issue and no solution. I already asked support the same thing, but they refused to help, stating it's "out of scope". What is the fix? I'm using V.4.1.5.2
bassangler Posted January 6, 2016 Author Posted January 6, 2016 It appears I've stumped the band. I win!
Follower19 Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I am interested too what file should I add GA goal to track registrations?
Prank Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 I use "begins with" and "/forums/register/?do=validating" which is the path used after submitting the rego form.
Apfelstrudel Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 It also took me a long time to find the right way to track registrations. The tricky thing was the regex expression for the goal. Here it is: Goal (regex): .*do=validate.* Step 1: /forums/register/ Step 2: /forums/register/?do=validating Test it out. It works!

Someone could help me to do these setting correctly ? I have already tested begins with, regular and equals to
Apfelstrudel Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 You have to activate "Funnel". ? Just use my settings with your URL. Destination is my goal setting from above. Yours won't work.

If you don't use it, the members won't need to call /register/?do=validating and the google analytics goal won't be reached

Apfelstrudel Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Then delete step 2 and modify the expression. "validate" becomes "validating"

Apfelstrudel Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Ok sorry. With email validation having deactivated you get a different param. But at the moment I can't tell you which one because I've never deactivated email validation. Maybe "validate" works fine. But step 2 shouldn't be necessary.
EricT Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Since my new setting, I had a few registrations, but no goals on google analytics. So, on the past 30 days, I made a search on all pages with the word "register" : And here the results : There are : - 133 URL /register/ - 1 URL from Adriano invite plugin - 3 URL with do=complete --> It is registration using Facebook API - 1 URL using google transale for the register page So, there is no possibility to create a registration goal if there is no email validation (excepting for facebook registration) ?
Daniel F Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Sorry, I'm not familiar with google analytics,
EricT Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 It is not about google analytics, but to know which URL I should take as goal. On google analytics, I saw there is no specific URL when a user registry (except if he use Facebook connect). Maybe because I am not using email validation.
Daniel F Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 As I said in https://invisionpower.com/forums/topic/424752-registration-as-goal-in-google-analytics/?do=findComment&comment=2659142 , if you're not using a validation method, there's no way to notify google analytics from the client side after the successful registration because your users will just be redirected to the index page. You'll need a custom plugin which either uses https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/v1/ which adds custom parameters to your url which then could be tracked by google analytics.
