New approach to page tracking in 5.x-1.5 and 6.x-1.1 ==================================================== With 5.x-1.5 and 6.x-1.1 there are new settings on the settings page at admin/settings/googleanalytics. The "Page specific tracking" area now comes with an interface that copies Drupal's block visibility settings. The default is set to "Add to every page except the listed pages". By default the following pages are listed for exclusion: admin admin/* batch node/add* node/*/* user/*/* These defaults are changeable by the website administrator or any other user with 'administer google analytics' permission. Like the blocks visibility settings in Drupal core, there is now a choice for "Add if the following PHP code returns TRUE." Sample PHP snippets that can be used in this textarea can be found on the handbook page "Overview-approach to block visibility" at http://drupal.org/node/64135. Custom variables ================= One example for custom variables tracking is the "User roles" tracking. Enter the below configuration data into the custom variables settings form under admin/settings/googleanalytics. Slot: 1 Name: User roles Value: [user-role-names] Scope: Visitor More details about Custom variables can be found in the Google API documentation at http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingCustomVariables.html Advanced Settings ================= You can include additional JavaScript snippets in the custom javascript code textarea. These can be found on the official Google Analytics pages and a few examples at http://drupal.org/node/248699. Support is not provided for any customisations you include. To speed up page loading you may also cache the Analytics ga.js file locally. You need to make sure the site file system is in public download mode. Known issues ============ - Token: The minimum required Drupal 6 version is 6.x-1.14, but for some technical reasons 6.x-6.16 or later is highly recommended. Token module is optional for GA, but if installed you need at minimum this versions or you may experience the issues documented in #1035030. - Ubercart: The minimum required Drupal 6 version is 6.x-2.6.
