Track anchor links with munchkin?

[Grant_Booth]

Hi all,

I did some testing on our pages and noticed that munchkin doesn't make a Click Link activity for anchor links: for example someone on examplepage.com won't create an activity if they click the link examplepage.com#someID.

Is there a simple way to get munchkin to do this?

Yep, see

More links Munchkin won't track (unless you tell it to) - Part 1 of 2

and the mchReDecorate technique:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(e) {
  var arrayify = getSelection.call.bind([].slice);
    var canonicalDocLocation = document.createElement("a");    
    canonicalDocLocation.href = document.location;
    canonicalDocLocation.hash = "";
    arrayify(document.links)
        .map(function(link){
          var canonicalLink = document.createElement("a");
          canonicalLink.href = link.href;
          canonicalLink.hash = "";
          return {
                original : link,
                canonical : canonicalLink
            }
      })
      .filter(function(linkDescriptor){
          return linkDescriptor.canonical.href == canonicalDocLocation.href && 
                ( linkDescriptor.original.hash || /#$/.test(linkDescriptor.original.href) );
      })
      .forEach(function(linkDescriptor){
           console.log("reattaching Munchkin to jump link", linkDescriptor.original);
           linkDescriptor.original.addEventListener("click", function(){                                  
                 Munchkin.munchkinFunction("clickLink",{
                      href : this.href
                 });
             });
      });
});

This is very good, It is a shame Marketo is not giving the option out of the box. By the way, I was using this script in one LP, and it was working well across the board, but lately I noticed stop working in Chrome.

Thanks Sanford! I was about to post that I'd found something that would work by putting the clickLink munchkin function into the hyperlink's onclick attribute, but I will check out the blog post as I would love to find something universal.

Use the code above. No need to hijack the inline onclick attribute.
