- Module: Google Analytics
- Author: Alexander Hass <http://drupal.org/user/85918>
- 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.
