More on Git submodules. ~~~ $ git submodule add git@github.com:digitick/yii-google-analytics.git protected/extensions/google-analytics $ git submodule init $ git submodule update ~~~

Global Widget Options ¶

You can use the Yii configuration file to set options globally throughout your application.

'components' => array(
    'widgetFactory' => array(
        'widgets' => array(
            'EGoogleAnalytics' => array(
            'account' => 'UA-XXXXX-X',
            'domainName' => 'example.com',
            ),
        ),
    ),
),

Application Component ¶

You may also use the class as an application component.

'components' => array(
    'googleAnalytics' => array(
        'class' => 'ext.google-analytics.EGoogleAnalytics',
        'account' => 'UA-XXXXX-X',
        'domainName' => 'example.com',
    ),
),

Then in your base controller class:

public function beforeRender($view)
{
    Yii::app()->googleAnalytics->run();

    return parent::beforeRender($view);
}

This allows you to set any of the options before doing the render.

It's most usefull to use for the e-commerce functions.

public function actionOrderComplete()
{
    Yii::app()->googleAnalytics->items = array(
        array(
            'orderId' => '1234',
            'sku' => 'DD44',
            'name' => 'T-Shirt',
            'category' => 'Olive Medium',
            'price' => '11.99',
            'quantity' => '1'
        ),
        array(
            'orderId' => '1234',
            'sku' => 'DD45',
            'name' => 'T-Shirt',
            'category' => 'Black Medium',
            'price' => '10.99',
            'quantity' => '1'
        ),
    );

    $this-render('orderComplete');
}
