Hello - I'm taking over a DNN site which uses the GoogleAnalyticsPro Module. As I understand the way this module works is...
- It's placed on each page you're looking to track. Simple, js appears as it should.

Where the problem lies is that I'm told, if you're editing a hyperlink for example (screen shot attached) an administrator or whomever may also be able to track certain instances of a page, in this case an image with a hyperlink. When you click "Track the number of times this link is clicked" you should see stats appear in the "Tracking" tab of the popup attached.

Could someone elaborate more on this feature? If so, how would I go about enabling this feature for this particular image/link and others throughout the site?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

As I'm so new to the whole DNN community and it's features'. I believe that this Tracking implementation is not so much a GoogleAnalyticsPro Module issue, rather a TelerikEditorProvider issue.

thoughts anyone?

The GoogleAnalyticsPro module is part of the Professional Edition of DotNetNuke.

You don't place it on pages. It is available under the Admin menu and you simple configure Google Analytics on that page. The basic configuration is to enter your Google tracking code in the appropriate box. Once you have done that, DotNetNuke places the correct javascript on each page to enable GA.

There are other options for GoogleAnalyticsPro. Here is a basic reference: http://www.willstrohl.com/Blog/Entr...ytics-Pro.

The tracking options that you mention are built into DotNetNuke, and are not part of GoogleAnalytics. If you want to track particular hyperlinks with GA, you will need to add code to the hyperlinks. There is a free DotNetNuke Widgets Suite (http://dnnwidgets.codeplex.com/) that include a widget for adding tracking for links. There is more discussion here: http://www.slideshare.net/regenbaum...by-soltech and https://plus.google.com/111891655867928086525/posts/4GkTZVCbu5E.

Now a more broad question... Any ideas as to why this feature in Telerik is functioning properly? DNN's manual states that there is no further set up required to enable this...

It's a DotNetNuke feature.

DotNetNuke includes other tracking that you can use or choose not to use. I think that most people rely on GA instead.
