I agree. i’m not sure that this is a support issue, but should probably be an “extensibility” or plug-in topic.

I’m quite interested in this type of functionality. can anyone comment here as to whether the events iist @scotta’s original post are exposed at any point as a generic event (like a navigation event)?

Most, if not all of these seem like proper click events. When an action like (for example) Creating a Topic. is there a navigation hook event that could then be fed to a plugin that can invokes the appropirate GA call with the meta information of the action (location, user, etc.

I read through some of the plugin related threads, and it there didn’t appear to be a canonical reference to documentation describing how what capabilities the plugin framework expose from a general navigation perspective.

Is there a _GO TO_ page/reference for how the plugin work re:navigation?
