Statistics by username in Google Analytics

1 Attachment(s)

Have you ever wanted to see whose threads get the most traffic? Well, this simple addition can make that happen.

Open SHOWTHREAD

Find

HTML Code:

{vb:raw poll}

Add after:

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 1, 'Author', '{vb:raw threadinfo.postusername}',1]);

</script>

This is assuming that your Analytics code is in the header of your site

The report will be available in Google Analytics under Custom Variables.

Update 5/21/2012: 1.1 - changed added Google Analytics tag from memberaction_update to SHOWTHREAD so multi-page threads will be tracked. For example, if someone lands on page 3 of a thread, the author will still be tracked in Analytics.

Thanks for sharing this.

Since vB does not provide total views for a section, I have used
<vb:if condition="in_array($vbulletin->parentnode, array(5)) OR $vbulletin->nodeid == 5">

type conditions to add a Google custom code for that ("5" would be the id for the section).

vB does not provide the total number of views for each sub-forum, so it would be nice to add a sub-forum setCustomVar for GA also on SHOWTHREAD , but, unfortunately I have not been able to get the title for the sub-forum on the SHOWTHREAD template.
