[nodebb-plugin-google-analytics] Google Analytics for NodeBB

[A Former User]

@MarximusMG not needed in your case.
Thanks to the Google PageSpeed module for NGINX, you can simply load Analytics over your PageSpeed config:

@AOKP awesome, thanks for the link!

Your Plugin works great.

It would be awesome if we can set custom dimension using this plugin,

I think this can be done with small changes,

if enabled we can pass value using variable which is sent with pageview,

ga('create', 'UA-12345-1', 'auto');
ga('set', 'dimension1', dimensionValue); // Set the custom dimension value
ga('send', 'pageview');

I am asking this because we use this to filter internal traffic from analytics and for other purpose also.

Hi @julian ,

In NodeBB 1.18.6 ; although we set up Google Analytics and did rebuild/restart the forum at least 4-5 times, warning on ACP does not go away.

Additionally, for NodeBBs that are installed in the subfolder (/forum), the hyperlink does not take you to the correct section on ACP.

ACP does not go away.

Which version of GA plugin? Apparently there was a fix for this in https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-google-analytics/commit/5a0a750c84a051af8ace77811881560e17e1dc95

@baris we use 0.6.0 version...

But, github shows 0.5.x versions:

@crazycells That's very weird, I have no idea why that would be the case, since the latest version is v0.5.13.

It seems on this forum v0.6.0 is installed as well, but I do not know where it came from...

Edit: It was from me, I published it but didn't push to GitHub, so it is outdated. I will deprecate and publish v0.6.1

[crazycells]

@julian Additionally; on GitHub I am getting these errors:

so, it seems like there is a problem with the GitHub page?

[julian]

@crazycells Yes, but I cannot fix that You'll have to talk to GitHub.

v0.6.1 is published, you can install it now.

@julian just saw your edit above
