Dynamic Google Analytics

This is a very simple mod, it adds the ability to dynamically generate the code for Google Analytics.

It creates a google analytics section in your vb options page and when you enter analytics ID there, it automatically puts analytics code into your footer.

If you don't install this hack, you can do the same by copy/pasting google analytics code in your footer template.

Version History:
1.0 - Initial Release, using ga.js instead of urchin.js
1.0.1 - Removed vB 3.7 requirement

Hi,

Sorry for the newbie question. What do you mean by dynamic? How does this differ from implementing the analytics code normally?

I think it adds a menu to the admin panel where you can set you Google Analytics code.

Which will then be implemented in the site.

Yeah, that's what i was thinking of too...
vBSEO also has such an integration, but this is the free way to add it :D

Tick the box so that it ignores the max version.

Sorry, I removed the requirement for 3.7, I was playing around with the dependencies settings - thought I'd removed it. Feel free to try the new XML file.

Can't seem to find the settings. Any help would be nice.

will it work with Vb 3.6.8 patch 2

My most humble apologies for not fully testing this (I'm new to vB Development), you should see a new setting group called 'Google Analytics'

Now it works -clicks install-

EDIT:

Do you fill in the number with or without "UA-"?

Doesn't seem to send the information to analytics for me... I'm pretty sure i get around 100 unique hits daily but it only shows 3, seems unlikely to me.

I turned it on so I guess I wait a few days and check the stats at Google. :)

Looks nice but does it work? :)

Would this not be better in the global_complete hook location with something like:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($vbulletin->options['ga_enable']) {

        $vbulletin->config['google_analytics']['replacementvariable'] = '</body>';
        $output = str_replace($vbulletin->config['google_analytics']['replacementvariable'],
        $code.$vbulletin->config['google_analytics']['replacementvariable'], $output);

}

This way you are anchoring onto the closing body tag as google instructs and the global_complete location is a better place to do this, not just for vbulletin itself but other addons which may use alternative templates for headers. footers etc.

The google code could perhaps be an additional temple for eval in which case it would want a cache plugin. A textarea option to add scipts to exclude the code from maybe quite a desireable feature to add. Was just a few thoughts, nice hack still. :)

@nitro: Thanks for the suggestions, I am quite new to vB coding - and if I have any spare time, I will try and implement your suggestions.

do u have to put in the google analytics html

or just you Google Analytics UA number?

Sweet! :D

It worked! Thank you! :)

Does this hack automatically put in the HTML code for analytics ??

If so I assume it puts in in the home page. What if your using vb advanced as your home page. I thing google analytics looks at the home page for the code. if this is the case then do I need to add the code to my vb advanced home page ??

Thanks in advance

bdude

04-03-2008 07:26 PM

If your vBAdvanced page uses standard vBulletin Header/Footer templates, then it should be included on your vba page.

will this work in 3.6.8 patch 1?

Evoix_mr2006

04-30-2008 12:43 PM

I assume the security patch in vB3.7.0 RC4 and STABLE kill this modification?

bdude

04-30-2008 08:22 PM

I don't see why it would be, however it has not been tested on vB 3.7 final

I am running a test forum on 3.7 gold right now so if I just import this xml that's it?

RichieBoy67

05-01-2008 08:57 PM

Are you saying that this mod will save us the trouble of having to install the analytics code?

I tell you, if it works I will be very happy because I find it a pain to install this code everywhere. I guess it isn't really that tough but geez, installing a plug in?? Sounds great...

Does anyone have this working so far??

Thanks

I'm asking the same 24 hours later nor response yet.
