Description
|
|
===========
|
|
Adds the Google Analytics tracking system to your website.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
* Google Analytics user account
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
Copy the 'googleanalytics' module directory in to your Drupal
|
|
sites/all/modules directory as usual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
=====
|
|
In the settings page enter your Google Analytics account number.
|
|
|
|
All pages will now have the required JavaScript added to the
|
|
HTML footer can confirm this by viewing the page source from
|
|
your browser.
|
|
|
|
New approach to page tracking in 5.x-1.5 and 6.x-1.1
|
|
====================================================
|
|
With 5.x-1.5 and 6.x-1.1 there are new settings on the settings page at
|
|
admin/config/system/googleanalytics. The "Page specific tracking" area now
|
|
comes with an interface that copies Drupal's block visibility settings.
|
|
|
|
The default is set to "Add to every page except the listed pages". By
|
|
default the following pages are listed for exclusion:
|
|
|
|
admin
|
|
admin/*
|
|
batch
|
|
node/add*
|
|
node/*/*
|
|
user/*/*
|
|
|
|
These defaults are changeable by the website administrator or any other
|
|
user with 'administer google analytics' permission.
|
|
|
|
Like the blocks visibility settings in Drupal core, there is now a
|
|
choice for "Add if the following PHP code returns TRUE." Sample PHP snippets
|
|
that can be used in this textarea can be found on the handbook page
|
|
"Overview-approach to block visibility" at http://drupal.org/node/64135.
|
|
|
|
Custom dimensions and metrics
|
|
=============================
|
|
One example for custom dimensions tracking is the "User roles" tracking.
|
|
|
|
1. In the Google Analytics Management Interface you need to setup Dimension #1
|
|
with name e.g. "User roles". This step is required. Do not miss it, please.
|
|
|
|
2. Enter the below configuration data into the custom dimensions settings form
|
|
under admin/config/system/googleanalytics. You can also choose another index,
|
|
but keep it always in sync with the index used in step #1.
|
|
|
|
Index: 1
|
|
Value: [current-user:role-names]
|
|
|
|
More details about custom dimensions and metrics can be found in the Google API
|
|
documentation at https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/custom-dims-mets
|
|
|
|
Advanced Settings
|
|
=================
|
|
You can include additional JavaScript snippets in the custom javascript
|
|
code textarea. These can be found on the official Google Analytics pages
|
|
and a few examples at http://drupal.org/node/248699. Support is not
|
|
provided for any customisations you include.
|
|
|
|
To speed up page loading you may also cache the Google Analytics "analytics.js"
|
|
file locally.
