Tracking HTML5 Lightbox with Google Analytics

Product:

HTML5 Lightbox

Question:

Is there any way to add Google Analytics code which would track the lightbox link on the page? I would like to see how many times the link to the video is clicked on the page?

Answer:

You could add the following JavaScript to your webpage. Please make sure to change the tracking id to your own Google Analytics tracking id.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var html5lightbox_options = {
    	googleanalyticsaccount: "UA-XXXXXXXX-X"
    };
</script>

To view the tracked events, in Google Analytics dashboard, click left menu Behavior -> Events -> Top Events, click Event Category "Lightbox", then Event Action "Open", the URL of the lightbox image/video will be listed as the Event Label.
