I've got a FullCalendar instance with multiple Google calendars displaying correctly on my site.
I'm able to disable the click action on the events to stop people from clicking through to the Google calendar link, but I was wondering if I'm able to change that link to something else? Ideally if someone clicked on an event, they'd be taken to a section lower down the page.
No matter what I seem to do though, I can't seem to change the default away from being the Google calendar link, I've tried adding a url option, that hasn't worked and I've tried a couple of the suggestions from here, but can't seem to make it work. Any ideas?

I have a Gravity Form with a text confirmation page, not a redirect confirmation. I would like to track this form through Google Tag Manager to display a goal conversion in Google Analytics (Universal Analytics).
I've followed the steps here: http://www.notesonclick.com/blog/gravity-form-event-tracking-via-tag-manager/
No conversions are being recorded. However when using GTM-debug mode, all the triggers are firing, even the gform.submit.success tag is being fired after clicking the submit button.
Could someone please help?
We've had the same issue. The only way we've been able to get GTM to record conversions is to remove validation. We'd rather it validate, but we haven't found any other workarounds.
I have implement that code in multiple site and it is working fine, Since you are not getting conversion then there might be issue with form Goal Creation in google analytics. or some time i have noticed this things happening when google analytics have been implement directly on the site and event tracking setup through tag manager..
if you still need some more help leave comment in comment box of same blog
I saw the excellent and elegant solution by Dinesh but was not able to implement it on the site I was working with. I put a hack together that work correctly. For detailed instructions, please see here.

I will start by saying that I have fair experience in HTML, but please keep the technical terms to a bare minimum. Pretend you're explaining it to a child. :-)
I used Wix.com to make my site (Wix is a place to easily design websites and has little HTML capabilities, since it's all based on being able to easily design a site with no HTML knowledge). You can add a Google Analytics tracking code, so i can see the number of clicks on the site, but that's about all. Apparently you can't change the code to be able to see button clicks on the site etc. (or maybe you can?...)
This is what I need above anything else:
On the site are a few "sign up now" buttons. When someone clicks it, they go to a signup page on an external site. I need to be able to track who clicks these buttons and when.
Ideally it's all tracked within google but apparently it doesn't work on wix.
Priorities:
Somehow it works with Google Analytics on Wix. It would have to be if somehow I can track it with Analytics without putting a code on the site itself. Don't know if or how that would work.
If not Google, is there a simple 3rd party Analytics site that could track the number of clicks on these buttons to external pages? It would be best if I can get the IP addresses of the clickers as well.
this is fairly easy, try customerlabs.co/google-analytics-event-tracking which can directly help you to send data about the users when they click event tracking.
eg:
Wix supports 3 types of goal tracking for your site: Destination, Duration and Pages/Screens per session. Currently, Wix doesn't support an Event tracking goal.
I think the title already described the problem. But the purpose of doing is putting a back button to the previous site and I think putting it in an iframe and without leaving the current domain is the only way to do it.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
If it is a first party iFrame (which I understand is the case) Google analytics should be able to send the data back as long as you use
window.parent._gaq.push(['_trackEvent', eventCategory, eventAtion, eventLabel]);
You also may want to override the onclick event preventDefaultBehavior(); so that your script is able to be sent before actually the click goes to the previous link
Is there a way to know how many page views are being fired, including virtual pageviews, when a browser lands on a page?
I'm investigating a severe bounce rate drop that is pretty clearly a technical issue since there has been no content or layout changes on the site.
We do have:
2 Google Analytics tags (Classic and Universal) throughout the site;
Optimizley is set up and testing.
Could this cause the problem?
Note, there is currently no event tracking on the site, just the base analytics tags.
Is there a way to see what tags (assuming that's it) are causing the issue? I am using httpfox (like fiddler) and added filter "utm" to see what's going on. Sure enough, 2 GA tags firing plus 2 dart pixels.
Would those cause page views though?
To check what is firing on the entire page. Download firbug for firefox and add the "omnibug" extension. The omnibug extension should be in the firefox firebug window when you open it.
When you go the omnibug in the firefix panel, you will see EVERYTHING THAT IS FIRING!
Is that what you are looking for?
To check what pageviews are firing correctly VERY QUICKLY in Google analytics. Do the following;
Make sure the google analytics code you have is on the page you want to track
Make sure your IP is not excluded or filtered out of the analytics profile
Login to your google analytics account
Go to Real-Time section on the left hand sidebar.
Click on Content
Go to your site and click on the link or go to the virtual pageview page you added the code to and then watch if that link shows up in the real-time -> content section.
The problem can be seen this page: http://ignitingthesixthsense.com/pre-launch-1
The issue is with the pluggin called Social Discount Press. The purpose of this pluggin is that it prompts the user to share your webpage via social media, and if they do so a link will then appear giving them access to restricted content.
There are actually 2 problems, but I am not sure if they stem from the same issue or not.
1) The first issue is that I have placed the social share buttons on the page twice using this shortcode:
[social_sharing_discount index="2"]
And the second instance of the share buttons (towards the bottom of the page) do not work properly. The Facebook and Twitter button activate the share box when clicked, but after sharing, the "instant access" button does not appear beneath the share button as it should. And the Google button does nothing at all when clicked. I have found that if I remove the 1st instance of the share buttons (at the top of the page), then the second instance of them starts working, so in other words it only seems to work properly if there is one instance on the page at a time.
2) The second and much much smaller issue, is that when the Google share button is clicked, the access button appears before the person actually shares.
And assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
I have found that the main cause of the issue was due to the pluggin being built mainly on ID's which need to be unique across the page. And having multiple instances of the same ID was causing many errors.
The solution was to rewrite some of the php and js to use Classes instead of ID's. This allowed for two instances of the pluggin to work on the same page, thus solving problem number one.
The reason why the google one is so inaccurate is because the author simply opens up a popup to the google share page in a popup, this doesn't allow us to see the JS events such as when we share.
On the other hand because the twitter and facebook jssdk are loaded into the page, we know the exact moment when there has been either of those have been shared and thus accurately display the instant access button.
Due to this the author of the pluggin is just doing a best guess as to when the user is likely to have shared. It this case the author is guessing that when the javascript onunload event fires, that logically the user has shared on google. Now the onunload event can be fired in multiple ways, one is when the user closes the popup, i.e the best guess scenario as to if the user has shared. However the onunload event also fires when the form loses focus, a user naviagtes a way or a link is clicked.
Furthermore the onunload event is only properly supported in IE, FF and Safari, not Chrome and Opera. Which in the end gives it differeing behaviour in different browsers.
All of this can lead to unpredicatable behaviour, such as what you are noticing.
A better solution would be for google to have a jssdk for the the google plus share that let's us create a share box on the fly, however it's lacking that functionality as of now.
