Problem tracking outbound links in Google Analytics

    I’m trying to track an outbound link using Google Analytics on a ModX site. Instructions from GA indicated to setup the URL like this:

    <a href="http://www.folding-bike-store.com" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview("/folding-bike-store.com");" target="_blank">


    After doing this via the HTML tool and saving the page in ModX, the HTML has changed to this: 
    <a onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview(" href="http://www.folding-bike-store.com" target="_blank">


    As a result, tracking is not working.

    I’m a ModX noob. Sorry if I missed something in the documentation or forums. Anyone have insight on this?

    Thanks

      Which version of MODx are you using ? Evo or Revo ?

        The MODx version on the system info page is blank undecided but the version codename says rev6066. Does that help?

          Did some digging and it appears to be Evolution 1.0.2.

          Anyone have guidance on how to fix this issue?

          Thanks

            Regardless of that issue, you are running an insecure version of Evo. you should definitely upgrade to the latest ... and it might just have a side effect of fixing your issue.
