Installation

Checkout from source control

svn checkout https://farcry.jira.com/svn/GA/trunk to ./farcry/plugins/googleAnalytics

TRUNK should be mostly stable. But there are specific milestone tags for those who don't want to risk it.

Copy the "www" folder to a "googleanalytics" folder under your project's webroot or create a web server alias (virtual directory on IIS) as "/googleanalytics" pointed at the plugin's www folder.

Update project constructor

Add googleAnalytics to the plugin list within ./www/farcryConstructor.cfm

./www/farcryConstructor.cfm
<!---// set plugin list---> <cfset THIS.plugins = "farcrycms,googleMaps,googleAnalytics,farcrydoc" />

Deploy content types

Go into the webtop ADMIN > DEVELOPER TOOLS and deploy all the plugin content types.

Set Up Google API Profile

  1. Set up a project in your Google API console

    1. under Services, enabled Analytics API

    2. under API Access, create a client ID (the redirect URI must be http://your.domain.com/webtop/admin/customadmin.cfm?plugin=googleanalytics&module=gapi_oauth.cfm)

  2. In FarCry, create/edit your settings in Content -> Google Analytics -> Site Settings (I assume you've already updated app and deployed new schema changes :)

  3. Copy in the clientID and secret

  4. Authorise FarCry to access the your analytics data (there should be a link next to Refresh Token)

  5. Select your Account, Property, and Profile.

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.
