The Google Analytics plugin allows users to insert a Google Analytics Tracking Code (GATC) into each page of their Omeka website. The GATC is a small chunk of Javascript generated by Google Analytics that connects the website back to the Analytics platform and tracks a wide range of statistics about how many people are visiting the site, where they come from, and how they interact with content.
You can download the plugin from github.
#Features
The plugin adds a simple configuration form to the administrative interface of Omeka that allows users to paste in the tracking code for the corresponding site account in Google Analytics.
Right now, the plugin makes use of the "public theme header" hook to print the GATC. Because of the location from which the hook is fired in the template rendering process, this causes the tracking code to output in the middle of the <head&rt tag. This is generally fine, although ideally the tracking code would be located at the very end of the document, just before the close of the <body> tag, so as to avoid any hanging during page load if there is higher than normal latency when the script tries to dial back to Google. Omeka does not currently fire a plugin hook at that location in the template rendering process, and a different solution would need to be used.
