Analytics
Analytics are easy to set up. Follow the steps below:
Adding an Analytics Account
- Open the analytics file by going _resources->includes->analytics.inc
- Copy and paste the tracking code from Google Analytics. It should look something like:
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');ga('create', 'UA-00000000-1', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');</script>
- Remove the first "paragraph". It should look like:
<script>
ga('create', 'UA-00000000-1', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script> - If that's the only script on your site, you're done. If you're adding a secondary
analytics code, you have to add a name like so:
<script>
ga('create', 'UA-00000000-1', {'name': 'somethinghere'});
ga('somethinghere.send', 'pageview');
</script>
The name can be anything, just make sure it matches on the 'create' line and the 'send' line.
Adding Events
- Add the following code to an onclick event:
ga('send', 'event', [eventCategory], [eventAction], [eventLabel], [eventValue], [fieldsObject]); - Be sure to change the items in brackets to your own values
- If you have more than one analytics account on the page, be sure to use the name for
the account you want to use.
For first analytics:
ga('send', 'event', [eventCategory], [eventAction], [eventLabel], [eventValue], [fieldsObject]);
For all other analytics:
ga('somethinghere.send', 'event', [eventCategory], [eventAction], [eventLabel], [eventValue], [fieldsObject]);
