Adds Google Analytics to the site using old and Universal Analytics with event and download tracking for both. It is derived from Shea's module for multisites (https://github.com/sheadawson/silverstripe-multisites-googleanalytics).
- SilverStripe 3.1.*
The default behaviour inserts the tracking code automatically in the page head.
The code only gets inserted in live mode.
If you want to use the template version of the tracking code (i.e. if you need to modify the tracking code for your project/theme) add the following line to your _config.php:
MultisiteAnalyticsControllerExtension::$use_template = true;
Use <% include GoogleAnalytics %> in your layout template to insert the tracking code.
Copy the template multisites-googleanalytics/templates/Includes/GoogleAnalytics.ss
to your theme to make changes to the tracking code.
The module also supports event tracking as well as tracking of external, download, email and phone links.
You can enable event tracking in the site config of the CMS.
In order to track downloads that use a controller url instead of the direct file link (i.e. DMS module), please add the following attributes to the links:
class="download" data-extension="$Extension" data-filename="$FilenameWithoutID"
This will trigger the event tracking script to record the clicks.
