    <script>
    	$('*[data-analytics]').eventify();
    </script>

    	data-analytics="true"
    	data-analytics-action="click"
    	data-analytics-category="Clickthrough"

Google Analytics

This plugin requires the newer Google Universal Analytics (analytics.js) code, and will not work with the old (ga.js) code. See this document for upgrading to Universal Analytics.
