Google Analytics plugin for Kirby 2

What is it?

Runs Google Analytics as soon as the site is not running on localhost and the Do Not Track header is not set by the browser.

Why use it?

I maded it because I often forgot to (re)activate the Google Analytics snippet after a site went live.

How to use it?

Add it as a submodule using git: git submodule add https://github.com/iksi/kirby-google-analytics.git site/plugins/kirby-google-analytics or put the contents of the repository in a folder called analytics in /site/plugins.

Next add a Google Analytics tracking ID to your configuration. The tracking ID is a string like UA-000000-01. You can also set anonymize to false to disable IP anonymization (the default is true).

c::set('plugin.googleAnalytics', true);
c::set('plugin.googleAnalytics.trackingId', 'UA-000000-01');
c::set('plugin.googleAnalytics.anonymizeIp', false);

Instead of a string you can also provide a callback function for the tracking ID:

c::set('plugin.googleAnalytics.trackingId', function() {
  return site()->googleAnalyticsTrackingId()->value();
});

You can add it to your website as a snippet:

<?php snippet('google-analytics') ?>
