It could be possible however to manipulate the page layouts to include an additional macro that parses the page content for patterns that match macro syntax and then add the relevant hooks or indeed the relevant JavaScript for Google Analytics to track this as custom events.

Another route would be server side Google Analytics tracking that listens for page render events, parses the page content, then sends details of the custom macros to Google Analytics.

If you’d like some help with this, please contact me at info@appfusions.com

When I wrote this in 2009, the standard practice was to add the Google Analytics Javascript at the end of the page. Since then, Google released their async tracking code where the tracker is now added in the HEAD without a detrimental effect on the page load. I updated the page but forgot to update the screenshot.

I’ll try to rectify this ASAP

Thanks for the Information – I just thought I would point out. In you explanation of how to install the code into confluence you say put the code in the “At End of the Head” Section but your helpful screenshot has it in the ‘At End of the Body” Section.

This is something I’d like to do as displaying the report should be relatively trivial. I’ve been a little reluctant to do this so far — simply because I don’t know all the use cases for this kind of functionality.

Currently, space editors can decide who sees their analytics reports by assigning permissions to the page. This makes it very simple for me – no additional permissions model is required in the plugin.

I’m not clear how this would work for external websites. Some organisations may only want to allow distinct groups permission to add analytics for external sites to a limited number of spaces. It’s likely that for external websites, we’d need the ability to configure users & groups permissions to insert web analytics. It’s possible of course, but I’ve not had the time to work out how to do this in the most simplistic and usable way.

Your thoughts are welcome. Please submit user stories to JIRA.

Is it possible to use this plugin to show Google analytics stats on a Confluence page for accesses to a non confluence site?

ie. I want to show the google analytics stats of our public website (not confluence) to users of confluence by showing those stats on a confluence page.

It is easy to do for google webmaster tools using the igoogle widgets, but there seems to be no way to do it for google analytics stats.

Thanks again for your feedback!
