Hi Lewatle,

AtoM does have basic support for Google Analytics baked in - if you already have an Analytics API key, you can add it directly to one of AtoM's configuration files. See:

https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/2.3/admin-manual/maintenance/web-analytics/#page-tagging-tools
Details on the configuration files: https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/2.3/admin-manual/customization/config-files/

After making changes you'll want to clear your cache and restart php5-fpm - there are instructions for doing this at the top of the second page linked above.

Let me know if you need any further assistance!

Cheers,

We had to add Analytics today.

I added the tracking info to app.yml.
Saved and

cd /usr/share/nginx/atom

php symfony cc


but ran into an issue using

sudo php5-fpm restart

as per the instructions.

used successfully

sudo restart php5-fpm

Also should I see hits immediately on Google Analytics if it is correctly configured?

Hi,

Thanks for sharing what worked for you - the command I usually use is:

sudo service php5-fpm restart

Note that in Ubuntu 16.04, the command will now be:

sudo systemctl restart php7.0-fpm

It can take up to 24 hours to start getting historical data via Google Analytics. However, if everything is set up correctly, and you visit the Real-time Analytics Tab in Google's dashboard while someone is visiting your site, you should see data immediately.

Hi Lewatle,

I saw a message from you in my inbox, but it seems to be deleted in the user forum - did you resolve this issue, or are you still receiving an error when you try to run the clear cache command?

Did you try restarting your webserver first? Are you running the commands from the root AtoM directory? I've noticed that the location of your config file suggests you are perhaps using Apache instead of Nginx - is there anything else about your installation environment that differs from our suggested installation instructions that we should know? Have you tried removing the space between the key and the value (e.g. google_analytics_api_key:UA-83787153-1) to see if perhaps that is what the script expects?

I've not seen this error before, so I'm not sure what to suggest. I will see if our developers have further suggestions for you.

Has anyone else who is using Google Analytics with AtoM encountered this before? If you resolved it, how?

Thanks,

Hi again Lewatle,

I noticed that the google analytics value is the only one that appears to be indented by 1 space - all the other uncommented variables do not have a space before them. If you remove this space, does the clear cache command run?
