JS: Event not showing in Google Analytics












1















I'm using Google Analytics for the first time. I've copied the supplied script tags into my page's header.



I can visit the page and I see one visitor in real time reports. In addition to recording the number of visitors to the page, I also want to report an event when a user clicks on a particular button on the page.



I have some jQuery to handle the click:



$("#new-preview").click(function(){

  new_preview()

  ga('send', 'event', 'preview', 'new', 'v1');

  console.log('Click!')

})


I can see that the function runs because the expected text is logged to the console. However, no events are recorded in Google Analytics (Reports -> Real-Time -> Events). I following the instructions provided by Google here. I think I'm following them correctly.



Why isn't the event being recorded? What have I misunderstood?

          ga(...) calls works with ~old~ analytics.js snippet. You're probably using the new gtag.js snippet. In that case you'll need another call to track events, something like



          gtag('event', 'new', {
          
  'event_category': 'preview',
          
  'event_label': 'v11'
          
});


          Check the docs for analytics.js here
          and for gtag.js here

                    Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

                    Image
                    28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

                    Does disintegrating a polymorphed enemy still kill it after the 2018 errata?

                    up vote 13 down vote favorite 1 After the 2018 errata, the disintegrate spell description now reads: A creature targeted by this spell must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 10d6 + 40 force damage. The target is disintegrated if this damage leaves it with 0 hit points. If you were to polymorph an enemy into a rat and then disintegrate it, would the enemy be disintegrated or would it just return to its original form? I know that for Druids, it’s not an instant kill anymore, but is this the case for polymorph as well? dnd-5e spells polymorph errata share | improve this question edited 18 hours ago

                    A Topological Invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$

                    Image
                    3 3 $begingroup$ Recently, I saw a construction of topological invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$ with $ngeq 2$ : $$ N=frac{1}{24pi^2}int_{S^3} d^3x epsilon^{ijk} Tr[(U^{-1}partial_{x_i}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_j}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_k}U)] , $$ where $Uin U(n)$ depends on $boldsymbol{x}=(x_1,x_2,x_3)in S^3$ , $epsilon^{ijk}$ is the Levi-Civita symbol, $i,j,k=1,2,3$ , and the duplicated indexes are summed over. It is claimed that $N$ is an integer, but why? Update 02/02/2019 I think I got an argument for $n=2$ . In this case, $U=e^{i varphi} q$ with $qin SU(2)$ . Due to the trace and the Levi-Civita symbol in $N$ , $varphi$ does not contribute to $N$ . As $Tr[q^{dagger}partial_i q]=0$ and $(q^{dagger}partial_i q)^{dagger}=-q^{dagger}partial_i q$ , $q^{dagger}partial_i q$ in geneeral has the form $q^{dagger}partia
