New extension: Google Analytics Panel

I can get back to the home page. But any menu pick from there are blank.

Very odd. Since none of those extensions are mission critical from the front-end, can you try disabling them and see if it is indeed a conflict?

Nothing related to the Analytics Panel extension should be loading anywhere but on the extension settings screen until some settings are input, so I can’t see how it could be clashing with anything else. Did you try deleting and uploading a fresh copy?

Is there any way in future versions to set which member groups are able to view this via the extension settings? I would prefer it if only high level members were able to view this.

Otherwise, great extension!

I hate the be the problem child here but when I enabled the extension and entered my Google information I get the following error:

Warning: Analytics_panel::require_once(/www/eh10465/public_html/ohs/lib/analytics_panel/gapi.class.php) [function.Analytics-panel-require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/eh10465/public_html/ohs/extensions/ext.analytics_panel.php on line 93

?

Very nice work. Can’t wait to try it once MSM is supported. Thanks!

It would appear you didn’t upload the /analytics_panel/ folder to the /lib/ folder.

Great idea - will put it on the list.

A yes, that made the difference. Thank you.

Just tried this on another website on a completely different web server (running php 5.1.6) and it worked great, first time.

I’ll have to do some more testing to try and narrow down whether my previous issues are down to a clash with another addon or the php version number.

Great extension though, just what the CP home page needed.

Glad it worked out on another server. I wonder if maybe the first server was lacking cURL and had fopen disabled? One of the two are required to authorize.

Have you ever thought about releasing this extension as a module or as a extension/module combo? The extension would be a quick view of the analytics whereas the module would allow you to dig deeper. Plus, with the module the admin could set which member groups could view it.

I do plan on adding member group permissions to the extension, but I don’t really see the need for the module. There’s no need to recreate the entirety of GA within EE - it’s pretty quick to click the “View full report” link and login to the real McCoy.

The only reason I was really thinking about it being a module instead of an extension was for this situation:

Imagine I only want the superadmin (me) to be able to view the analytics. I normally offer analytics as a service (includes actually analyzing the analytics, not just slapping them up there), so I always incorporate analytics into my sites, but I don’t tell the clients. This way I can still collect info on the performance of the site while I try to upsell them.

So say one day I need to sign in to the website to make a quick admin setting update while the client is with me. Well the first thing that they would see would be the analytics extension on my CP home page. If it was a module, it would be buried in behind the modules tab and not viewable when you first sign in.

I’m not sure how many other people use it this way, but I thought I would let you know how I could use it so you have some insight on how people want to use your extension.

Awesome! Many thanks for this. Could do with an MSM version as I get the same Analytics profile in each site.

D-Rock: U-ROCK!

This is one of the things that I have been hoping for and will be a huge asset for me and the communities I build with Expression Engine. Thanks for this gift to the community!
