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.

I'm not seeing how to do this :

- 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).

Can anyone share some step by step on this? I don't see how to edit the profile in GA homepage.

In Google Analytics

1) Click on "Admin" button (top of page on the right)
2) Select the profile you want to add the setting to (should be a numbered list with name hyperlinked, click hyperlink)
3) Select the the "Profile Settings" Tab
4) At the bottom of the page you will see the "Site Search Settings", select "Do track Site Search" and enter "keywords" into the "Query Parameter" and click apply.

Thats it.

It worked for a while now suddenly my analytcs says that the code is missing, but i looked in the sourcecode and it is there, what is the problem?

[DaChief]

This Plugin is not working, since it doesn't insert the code in the sourcecode, only in some ajax stuff.

"Google Analytics Script" is working much better with more options.

But of course maybe i'm doing something wrong...

I see version 1.1.2 on "https://marketplace.digitalpoint.com/better-analytics.887/item"
Would you mind updating the attachment here and tell us what the changes are?
I have issues with the product in version 1.1.1 using vbulletin 4.2.2.
On 4.2.0 it was working fine but after the update this product gives me error messages.
I hope that 1.1.2 is fixing my issues.

You may want to look at getting rid of this mod all together. It is currently incompatible with the new improved Google Universal Analytics code. You are better off just placing the new universal analytics code directly in the "header" template.


P.S. The ONLY change from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 was the product url (the one that links from the Mod Name in the vBulletin Product Manager back to their website).

Yes, what is the status on this sort of tracking and these new functions in GA?

Active UsersBETA
Cohort AnalysisBETA

We are looking at putting the (hash of) our forum-username to GA User ID for every page load:
https://developers.google.com/analyt...ticsjs/user-id

And after that figuring out if we want certain events (posting, reading, abandoning half-typed comments etc.) to be tracked and include those as events.

Are there any plug ins for doing this level of measurement?

Or is this 'roll your own' territory?
