How to manage analytics?

Sulu gives the content-manger an easy way to manage analytic-codes and appends them automatically to the website output without any changes in the twig-template. You can find the list of analytics under the webspace section.

The analytics consist of:

Title	To identify it.
Domains	On which domain this analytics should be appended.
All Domains	Should it appended to all domains.
Type	The type (google, google_tag_manager, piwik, custom).
Content	The code or key of the analytic.

Sulu can handle different types of analytic-systems like google or piwik. This codes will be automatically added with the given key and site-id (for piwik). To add other systems simply choose type custom and copy and paste the code into the textarea.

Warning

Be aware that custom analytics will not be evaluated and appended without validation - therefore it could break the website directly after saving.

Override analytics template

You are able to override the analytics template with the symfony template overriding mechanism.

There are three relevant templates folders:

• SuluWebsiteBundle:Analytics/type/google

• SuluWebsiteBundle:Analytics/type/google_tag_manager

• SuluWebsiteBundle:Analytics/type/piwik

• SuluWebsiteBundle:Analytics/type/custom

Each of these folders can contain multiple templates according to the desired position of its content:

• body-open.html.twig

• body-close.html.twig

• head-open.html.twig

• head-close.html.twig

You can access the following information in the twig variable analytics.

Name	Type	Description
id	int	A unique identifier of the analytics.
title	string	The title of the analytics.
allDomains	boolean	Indicates whether the analytics is on all domains or only a specific one.
content	mixed	Differs for the type.
type	string	google / google_tag_manager / piwik / custom
domains	array	Array of associated domains.

Note

The content property contains for type google / google_tag_manager the key, for piwik an associated array of url and siteId and for the custom type the whole script (except the <script> tag).
