Will the update about google analytics be taken into account in xenforo 2.3 version?

 

[Nicolas FR]

Which update?

 

[Baby Community]

Which update?

google analytics has issued a new directive and when that directive is active I'm afraid analytics reports won't work for me

 

[Baby Community]

If I remember correctly, you had a solution for this issue, but I couldn't manage that solution or I didn't have the time, I didn't bother.

Google Analytics 4 is replacing Universal Analytics. On July 1, 2023 all standard Universal Analytics properties will stop processing data. 360 Universal Analytics properties will stop processing data on July 1, 2024.

If I'm not mistaken, Google is migrating automatically to the new GA4.

Happened to me.

XenForo 2 already works just fine with GA4. You do need to create a new property on Google's side though because UA properties aren't compatible (and can't be migrated to GA4). But that's an issue on Google's side, not XenForo's... nothing XenForo (or anyone else) can do about turning UA properties into GA4 properties on Google's side.

To switch XF2 to GA4, you just need to put in your GA4 property ID in XF settings (replacing your UA one).

I did this recently but data didn't seem to be flowing to the new property on the Analytics. That said, I probably just set something up wrong and haven't had time to investigate. Unlike some, I don't rely that heavily on Analytics.

It definitely works... just make sure your web property ID that you have in XenForo options is the right format... if it's not G-xxxxxxxxxx, it's wrong.

If using the new G4 property... in the default XF location (if not using Digital Points add-on) you have to make sure to use the G- prefix in front of your code.
Of course, I'd still recommend using his add-on..

Yeah I know I got that much right. I am wondering if I set it up properly in GA in the first place. I set it up a while ago but didn't add the property to my site until recently.

Did yours arrive? I think it was around 2 months...!

Not yet. Still waiting. Been more than a month.

This puzzled me because the property ID on my GA4 account is just a string of digits and does not have a "G-" in front of it.

Now after swapping in the "G-nnn..." code in the Xf Admin CP, it's doing weird things in GA4...

Swap UA- back in and the stats record properly:


The dip on the right is from when I swapped the G- code back in for a minute, then back to UA-

AH!

Measurement ID not Property ID.

In GA4: Admin -> Property Settings -> Data Collection and Modification -> Data Streams -> Add Stream -> Web

Then in the Web Stream Details it gives the Measurement ID.

Got it.
