Just checking: If there is a theme update, will this continue to work? Or do i need to keep re-adjusting this version of the theme every time there is an update?

@Prezne – that change will be included in the next release, so you won’t need to make any adjustments after each update.

Thanks! This is going to look stupid but here it goes: I tried overriding the shortcode as you suggested but somehow i keep getting the following error in the debug.log:

[12-Jun-2017 08:43:46 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'send' (T_STRING) ) in /path/to/public_html/wp-content/themes/dante-child/functions.php on line 45

This is the code i used:

/* MODAL SHORTCODE
	================================================= */
	if (!function_exists('sf_modal')) {
		function sf_modal($atts, $content = null) {
			extract(shortcode_atts(array(
				"header" => '',
				"btn_type" => '',
				"btn_colour" => '',
				"btn_size" => '',
				"btn_icon" => '',
				"btn_text" => ''
			), $atts));
			
			global $sf_modalCount;
			
			if ($sf_modalCount >= 0) {
				$sf_modalCount++;
			} else {
				$sf_modalCount = 0;
			}
			
			$modal_output = "";
			
			$button_class = 'sf-button '.$btn_size.' '. $btn_colour .' '. $btn_type;
			
			if ($btn_type == "sf-icon-reveal" || $btn_type == "sf-icon-stroke") {
				$modal_output .= '<a class="'.$button_class.'" href="#modal-'.$sf_modalCount.'" onclick="ga('send', 'event', 'testmodal', 'testclick', 'testbrowsername');" role="button" data-toggle="modal">';
				$modal_output .= '<i class="'.$btn_icon.'"></i>';
				$modal_output .= '<span class="text">'. $btn_text .'</span>';
				$modal_output .= '</a>';
			} else {
				$modal_output .= '<a class="'.$button_class.'" href="#modal-'.$sf_modalCount.'" role="button" data-toggle="modal"><span class="text">' . $btn_text . '</span></a>';
			}
			
			$modal_output .= '<div id="modal-'.$sf_modalCount.'" class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="'.$header.'" aria-hidden="true">';
			$modal_output .= '<div class="modal-dialog">';
			$modal_output .= '<div class="modal-content">';
			$modal_output .= '<div class="modal-header">';
			$modal_output .= '<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true"><i class="ss-delete"></i></button>';
			$modal_output .= '<h3 id="modal-label">'.$header.'</h3>';
			$modal_output .= '</div>';
			$modal_output .= '<div class="modal-body">'.do_shortcode($content).'</div>';
			$modal_output .= '</div>';
			$modal_output .= '</div>';
			$modal_output .= '</div>';
				
			return $modal_output;
		}
		add_shortcode('sf_modal', 'sf_modal');	
	}

You need to escape the single quotes in that line, like so:

/* MODAL SHORTCODE
	================================================= */
	if ( !function_exists('sf_modal') ) {
		function sf_modal($atts, $content = null) {
			extract(shortcode_atts(array(
				"header" => '',
				"btn_type" => '',
				"btn_colour" => '',
				"btn_size" => '',
				"btn_icon" => '',
				"btn_text" => ''
			), $atts));
			
			global $sf_modalCount;
			
			if ($sf_modalCount >= 0) {
				$sf_modalCount++;
			} else {
				$sf_modalCount = 0;
			}
			
			$modal_output = "";
			
			$button_class = 'sf-button '.$btn_size.' '. $btn_colour .' '. $btn_type;
			
			if ($btn_type == "sf-icon-reveal" || $btn_type == "sf-icon-stroke") {
				$modal_output .= '<a class="'.$button_class.'" href="#modal-'.$sf_modalCount.'" onclick="ga(\'send\', \'event\', \'testmodal\', \'testclick\', \'testbrowsername\');" role="button" data-toggle="modal">';
				$modal_output .= '<i class="'.$btn_icon.'"></i>';
				$modal_output .= '<span class="text">'. $btn_text .'</span>';
				$modal_output .= '</a>';
			} else {
				$modal_output .= '<a class="'.$button_class.'" href="#modal-'.$sf_modalCount.'" role="button" data-toggle="modal"><span class="text">' . $btn_text . '</span></a>';
			}
			
			$modal_output .= '<div id="modal-'.$sf_modalCount.'" class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="'.$header.'" aria-hidden="true">';
			$modal_output .= '<div class="modal-dialog">';
			$modal_output .= '<div class="modal-content">';
			$modal_output .= '<div class="modal-header">';
			$modal_output .= '<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true"><i class="ss-delete"></i></button>';
			$modal_output .= '<h3 id="modal-label">'.$header.'</h3>';
			$modal_output .= '</div>';
			$modal_output .= '<div class="modal-body">'.do_shortcode($content).'</div>';
			$modal_output .= '</div>';
			$modal_output .= '</div>';
			$modal_output .= '</div>';
				
			return $modal_output;
		}
		add_shortcode('sf_modal', 'sf_modal');

That worked! I even managed to insert the Button Text variable into the code. That way it automatically sets the Button Text as Event Name.

Here’s the final code i’m using (with the Button Text variable coded in):

/* MODAL SHORTCODE
	================================================= */
	if ( !function_exists('sf_modal') ) {
		function sf_modal($atts, $content = null) {
			extract(shortcode_atts(array(
				"header" => '',
				"btn_type" => '',
				"btn_colour" => '',
				"btn_size" => '',
				"btn_icon" => '',
				"btn_text" => ''
			), $atts));
			
			global $sf_modalCount;
			
			if ($sf_modalCount >= 0) {
				$sf_modalCount++;
			} else {
				$sf_modalCount = 0;
			}
			
			$modal_output = "";
			
			$button_class = 'sf-button '.$btn_size.' '. $btn_colour .' '. $btn_type;
			
			if ($btn_type == "sf-icon-reveal" || $btn_type == "sf-icon-stroke") {
				$modal_output .= '<a class="'.$button_class.'" href="#modal-'.$sf_modalCount.'" onclick="ga(\'send\', \'event\', \'modal\', \'open\', \''. $btn_text .'\');" role="button" data-toggle="modal">';
				$modal_output .= '<i class="'.$btn_icon.'"></i>';
				$modal_output .= '<span class="text">'. $btn_text .'</span>';
				$modal_output .= '</a>';
			} else {
				$modal_output .= '<a class="'.$button_class.'" href="#modal-'.$sf_modalCount.'" role="button" data-toggle="modal"><span class="text">' . $btn_text . '</span></a>';
			}
			
			$modal_output .= '<div id="modal-'.$sf_modalCount.'" class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="'.$header.'" aria-hidden="true">';
			$modal_output .= '<div class="modal-dialog">';
			$modal_output .= '<div class="modal-content">';
			$modal_output .= '<div class="modal-header">';
			$modal_output .= '<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true"><i class="ss-delete"></i></button>';
			$modal_output .= '<h3 id="modal-label">'.$header.'</h3>';
			$modal_output .= '</div>';
			$modal_output .= '<div class="modal-body">'.do_shortcode($content).'</div>';
			$modal_output .= '</div>';
			$modal_output .= '</div>';
			$modal_output .= '</div>';
				
			return $modal_output;
		}
		add_shortcode('sf_modal', 'sf_modal');	
	}

The above code seems to work, as in: it does output the correct HTML. But when i click the modals generated by the shortcode i get this error in the Javascript console: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: ga.

When i copy the HTML that was generated by the shortcode and i place it below the shortcode (see code example below) i don’t get the error. But that of course renders 2 modals instead of one.

[sf_modal header="Header text here" btn_colour="accent" btn_type="sf-icon-reveal" btn_size="standard" btn_icon="fa-unlock-alt" btn_text="Button text here"]
ENTER THE MODAL BODY HERE
[/sf_modal]

<a class="sf-button standard accent sf-icon-reveal" href="#modal-1" onclick="ga('send', 'event', 'modal', 'open', 'Button text here');" role="button" data-toggle="modal" data-wpel-link="internal"><i class="fa-unlock-alt"></i><span class="text">Button text here</span></a>

How can the Javascript error be fixed? FYI: Event tracking does work on normal links.

I’ve just disabled every plugin and i still get the error in the Javascript Console. So it’s not a conflicting plugin.

The HTML rendering is not the problem. All the modals are rendering correctly.

But when clicking the modal it should trigger a Google Analytics event. Instead of triggering the event it generates the Javascript error in the console:

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: ga

Hi,

Can you try the solution in the last reply of this Stackoverflow page?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42710456/uncaught-referenceerror-ga-is-not-defined-with-garequire-ec

Add that code to the custom js option in the general options.
