Documentation

Before you start using the add-on you need to Configure the add-on, authenticate with a Google Analytics account, and then select the profile you like to use.

You can customize which data to display, which member groups that should be able to configuration the module, and choose between a bar or line graph. You can also customize colors and a lot of other things.

This makes it easy to make the add-on blend with your custom Control Panel theme for instance.

By installing the extension you can also choose to have Republic Analytics load as the default view when logging in to the Control Panel. The data from Google Analytics is loaded with Ajax, so it won’t delay the Control Panel load time if you’re in a hurry to do something else…

Known issues and solutions

- No data when viewing Statistics

Under some circumstances, if you have a lot of Google Analytics data, you can end up with a blank screen when clicking Statistics. This most likely means that you don’t have enough memory available for PHP to grab all the data. Try to increase your PHP memory limit and you should be able to fetch the data without problem. (You can always try with a profile with very little data and see if that works…)

Installation

Just do as you normally do when installing add-ons in ExpressionEngine 2:

• Extract the .zip file
• Move the /system/expressionengine/third_party/republic_analytics into your ExpressionEngine installation’s /system/expressionengine/third_party/ folder.
• Move the /themes/third_party/republic_analytics folder into your ExpressionEngine installation’s /themes/third_party/ folder.
• Activate the module and the extension in the Control Panel.
• Go to Add-ons > Modules > Republic Analytics > Configuration
• Enter a Google Analytics account, save, then choose the profile you like to show.

Update

Just replace the old files with the new ones:

• Extract the .zip file
• Move the /system/expressionengine/third_party/republic_analytics into your ExpressionEngine installation’s /system/expressionengine/third_party/ folder.
• Move the /themes/third_party/republic_analytics folder into your ExpressionEngine installation’s /themes/third_party/ folder.
• Go to Add-ons > Modules > Republic Analytics
