Deploy content types
Go into the webtop ADMIN > DEVELOPER TOOLS and deploy all the plugin content types.
Update Google Analytics configuration file
You will need to update the plugins configuration to include your projects specific Google Analytics URCHIN code. This is found under the Content administration tab, in the Google Analytics dropdown.
...
The username and password for the GA API is entirely optional. It is used to pull statistics into the application on demand from Goolge. You require the GA login credentials in order to see stats in the GA webtop overview tab, or to use the "most popular" content publishing rule.
What else?
That's literally it. If GA Plugin detects that you are serving a page from one of the configured domains, it will automatically include the correct urchin code for your domain in the HEAD of your document.
