    Hi All,

    I have some problem in setting goal for one of my client website built with Bonsai CMS.

    I have the following pages,

    Contact Us: /contact-us
    Form Handler: /formhandler.php and placed in "/media/server-scripts/"
    Goal Page: /contact-us

    When the form is submitted the data from the form is received by the form handler. The form handler do some mail sending and DB operation and then the confirmation message is sent back to the contact us page.

    How can i set goal in Google analytics?. Please help me to do this.

    Assuming formhandler.php is not visible to user. You may modify your contact page to something like:

    Initial page: /contact-us
    Goal page: /contact-us?submit=success

    The submit=success parameter will not change your site's functionality. But you can pass on that parameter to Google Analytics for goal tracking
