Statistics Modifications - Digital Point Better Analytics

About
This allows you to utilize Google Analytics with some advanced options

Installation

• Install the product-digitalpoint_analytics.xml product under AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product
• Go to AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Digital Point Better Analytics to set your Google Analytics Profile ID.
• Important - In order for site search tracking to work, log into your Google Analytics account and edit your site profile. On the Profile Settings tab, set the Site Search Settings to track, with the query parameter set to "keywords" (without quotes).
• Remove any other Google Analytics code you may already have.

Notes

• Tracks across multiple sub-domains (in case your site is setup as such).
• Utilizes Page Speed tracking/reporting.
• Tracks social interactions for Facebook, Twitter and Google +1 buttons if you have them on your site.
• Tracks site search (what people are searching for within your own site).
• Requires no template edits or files to upload.
• External JavaScript is compressed and utilizes Cache-Control headers to eliminate HTTP requests.

It depends on the exact script you place in the footer.

This should be built into Vbulletin. Knowing what is being searched for is critical.

How do I put the tracking code onto my site?

[sybakaos]

It is affecting the location of the users on the "Currently Active Users" page (most show misc.php?do=analytics) and in turn affects the number of users that are viewing a particular forum. eg. "Helpdesk (9 viewing)" and is thus showing false values. Hope it's a fixable issue.

Other than that, the search tracking works particularly well. Nice work!

Is it possible to include the following parameter optionally in your plugin? It's required for people in Germany

_gaq.push (['_gat._anonymizeIp']);

[digitalpoint]

No, sorry.

Hi Shawn,

this is a reproduceable bug and occuring on my site, too. Any chance you could provide a fix for that?

[digitalpoint]

Hopefully will have something workable soon.

Weird Shawn, I stumbled over another issue today. GA provides some basic AdSense integration features to get an idea which particular site is performing better over others. Since about the time I´ve installed your mod those analysis show no new entries or statistics anymore. Could you do as a favor and keep an eye on that one and check if this is may be caused by your code?

[digitalpoint]

I'll have a look into it. Not sure why it would be affected by it though since there's nothing special you need to add/remove from the normal tracking code to integrate AdSense stuff. What date did it stop for you? I'll do some digging...
