Overview

Adds Google Analytics to the site supporting:

Universal Analytics (with event and download tracking)
Google Tag Manager.

The module is derived from Shea's analytics module for multisites and supports single site as well as multisites setups.

Requirements

SilverStripe CMS 4.x

Note: this version is compatible with SilverStripe 4. For SilverStripe 3, please see the 3.x release line.

Installation

Install the module using composer:

composer require innoweb/silverstripe-googleanalytics dev-master

Add <% include Innoweb/GoogleAnalytics/GoogleAnalyticsHead %> in the head and <% include Innoweb/GoogleAnalytics/GoogleAnalyticsBody %> right after the opening body tag in your main page template.

Then run dev/build.

Usage

All settings can be configured from the CMS.

In your SiteConfig (or the config of your Site when using multisites) you find a tab 'Google Analytics'. Select the analytics type you have setup for your GA account and add the ID. Done.

All GA code only gets inserted in live mode.

Event tracking (old and Universal Analytics)

The module supports event tracking in the form of external, download, email and phone links.

You can enable event tracking on the SiteConfig (or Site for multisites) in the CMS.

Download tracking with custom controller urls (e.g. DMS module)

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.

Exclude links from tracking

To exclude links from being tracked add a class do-not-track to the anchor tag. This prevent the onclick event from firing.
