Googles Analytics Module and SkinObject

Easily add and configure the new Google Analytics code to your site. Google Analytics has been re-designed to help you learn even more about where your visitors come from and how they interact with your site. Includes both module and SkinObject to add your code.

 In December 2007, Google released their new analytics tracking code.  Google Analytics 2008 provide both a Module and a SkinObject that can be configured to meet your needs.

Our Module/SkinObject does not perform tracking or reporting, it simply enables a DotNetNuke portal to automatically inject the javascript required by Google™ Analytics so that Google™ Analytics may track your website analytics.

Google™ Analytics is a free service from Google™ and can be found at: Google™ Analytics.

To use Google™ Analytics 2008 Module:

Install the module through module definitions. Place an instance of the module on your 'Home' page (or any page).  Settings are configured under the Module settings.  All that is required to start tracking is to enter your tracking code.  Where can I find my tracking code?  Once configured, in the Module settings, select “Add To All Pages” and “Update” to put the tracking code on all your pages.

Notes:

The Google™ Analytics 2008 module has been developed using DotNetNuke version 4.7.0, if you experience any issues installing or using, please contact us.

Features:

  • Source written in C#.
  • No code or layout in .ascx files, all code generated dynamically (server controls).
  • Supports localization.
  • Works with both non-SSL and SSL sites.
  • PA & SkinObject packages included in download.
  • Track multiple Google™ Analytics accounts
  • Exclude tracking for SuperUser and Admin roles
  • Segment tracking by User Role or demographics
  • Ability to configure numerous options (see below)
