Analytics 1.0 Released

    This discussion is related to the Analytics addon.
    Initial release of a new plugin: Analytics.

    This is a pretty simple plugin that puts the latest Google Analytics javascript in the head section of every page of your forums.

    There is another plugin in the list, but I couldn't get it to work and it seemed to be using older Analytics code anyway. This one is fresh like Mentos.

    Note: In order for this to work for your site, you must change the $WebId variable in default.php. The file is well commented and it should be obvious where to change it.

    It was tested with Vanilla v2.0.6.

    @ithcy: You can just use mine! =D The one I was referring to, though, was by @derekdon and it was for Vanilla 2. I'm sure it worked just fine way back in January when it was posted. I suspect Vanilla 2 has changed substantially since then.

    thanks, i'll copy what's in yours.
    i won't pull mine down, only because maybe there's one person somewhere in the world with vanilla 1 who still needs it :)

    //edit: ah, ok, well i'll update mine anyway

    Next step: Make the TrackingID configurable via an input box on the dashboard. :D

    That's a good idea. I'm about to go on a cruise, but perhaps when I get back! :)

    It doesn't seem like it would be that hard, and there are probably some plugins that would lend a good example.

    @Raize Works fine in 2.0.14.

    Might I suggest just pasting in the javascript for the tracking code in a Pocket? Pockets even let me omit it for specific levels of users, which is nice.

    Hi, i'm on 2.0.16 and like your addon, unfortunately - it does not work for the (automatic) mobile theme.

    I got it to work by editing the mobile theme and adding the trcking code at line 45 of the file class.mobilethemehooks.php (in the Base_Render_Before method). Be sure to add \ before the ' characters!

    Hi,

    I have updated my forum to the 2.0.16 version and this plugin doesn't work anymore.

    Does anybody know why ?


    Thanks

    @Tim Your recommendation for a Settings menu does also apply for the Google Analytics from @derekdon ;-)
