Google Analytics

[oman]

Hi,

What is the best way to implement Google analytics on a XenForo website without having to put the code in every template?

Thanks

No need to add it into every template - go into the admin panel and click on "Options", Statistics and Metrics.

Or use the free alternative Piwik.

Very nice! Yeah, I'm just using the basic version of Google Analytics.

UA-XXXXX-Y

But i get:
Status: Tracking Not Installed


I inspected the html of my site and its there:

Any ideas?

Wit a few mins and try again if you can see it as a guest.

The code is visible to guests...

which looks much better but how to plug it into xf? on the options/stats page there is a slot
for google analytics of course, but nothing else, so how do i tie this into xf?

Thanks

Simply put the Piwik code into the apropriate ad templates, e.g. ad_message_below.

Do i put the piwik code in all ad_*.* templates? I put it in ad_message_below, and no live stats are showing....

I have mine in page_container and it works fine. But be aware that if you upgrade XF you remember to redo it, otherwise Piwik will be trying to connect with everything you do and will slow you down.

and it will monitor every single page from there?

Yes. Put the code just after </xen:hook>.

Oh, and use the TMS if you have it. It'll help a lot when you upgrade.
