    • Free Magento Module: Google Analytics Dashboard

    Google Analytics is a brilliant tool for tracking visits and learning more about your visitors. However, if you want a quick look at your webshops' stats, logging in to your account is quite some hassle. To make things a little easier for you (and, if you are a webdesigner: to make things a little easier for your customers), we've created Analyticsdash; a simple, integrated overview of your most important stats directly accessible from your Magento admin panel.

    Features

    • A quick overview of today's and yesterday's visits, pageviews, average pages per view, and average time on the site.
    • And overview of top content and top referrals.
    • Quick and easy to install, configure your website id, username, password and desirable cache lifetime
    • Will cache if block caching is enabled
    • Quick access button to your full report at google.com/analytics

    Installation

    • Copy the files provided to your Magento installation
    • Browse to System > Configuration and click on the tab on the left: Analytics.
    • Fill in your information. For the Profile ID, login to Google Analytics and select your profile. You'll find the profile ID in the URL of your profile, e.g.: Old Analytics or the New Analytics.
    • Refresh cache

    Please let me know if you are experiencing problems. I've only tested this module in Magento 1.5, but I don't think it will give problems in older versions.

      For those who are getting an error, please read what the error says.

      - If you get Error=BadAuthentication, please double check your login information (account and password).
      - If you get the error “User does not have permission to access profile xxx”, please check your permissions at Google Analytics.

      Also, if you want to uninstall the module please delete app/etc/modules/HO_Analyticsdash.xml or edit it and change ‘true’ to ‘false’.

          You can uninstall Analyticsdash just like any other module:

          1: Disable caching, remove all caches via the admin panel (or just remove var/cache in your magento root)
          2: Delete app/etc/modules/HO_Analyticsdash.xml or edit it and change ‘true’ to ‘false’.

      Works great, but we are using it in an multi store environment and at this time stores all data for multiple stores but only showing on store under analytics tab. Is there any possibility to switch between the stores or to show the data from all stores?

        Haha, I was afraid someone was going to ask this question sooner or later. As you guessed it’s not possible right now, but maybe we could implement something like a multi profile setup in the future. I’ll think about it.

      Another nice solution guys and thanks for sharing, but I notice that the ‘Top Referrals’ list is to the right of the pie chart rather than beneath it!

        Navigate to app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/Analyticsdash/index.phtml

        find this:
        <span>

        and replace with this:
        <span>

        Thanks for the extension guys, quite useful :)

      Hello, module works really great. i’m the Admin of ducatimilano.it adn i have created a user just to create products but in roles, i can not find the analyticsdashboard to assign permission to view this tab to newly created user.

      do you have a trick for this?

      when i log in with admin, tab is there, when i log in with user, no dash :(

      thank you

        Hi Simone,

        Although this should work, there seems to be a bug. I’m working on an update which addresses the roles issue. Besides that, I’m also looking into the multi store environment. I expect a release somewhere next week.

      You did good work with snap shots.  The most significant feature of Magentocommerce is multiple website or Multi store feature. Magento allows multiple websites or web stores within one installation. You can get same and more info about the setting of magento multi store here.http://www.thiswasspam.com/

      Thanks for this module, it’s great. For some reason, I don’t show the top referring links- like it shows in the screen shot. I only have the piechart. Am I missing something?

      I have been using Firefox to access the backend of my magento install because of IE and Chrome won’t allow me to log in, think it has something to do with cookies/ session management, a problem I haven’t had the time to resolve yet. Still have the piechart but no links.

      Hi Paul - copied 3 folders/files into /app folders, refreshed cache, can see top Analytics nav (Error=BadAuthentication which is expected before configuration), but I am getting a 404/page not found in the System | H&O | Analytics config link to add my Google info.  Link it is pointing to is: https://domainname.com/index.php/admin/system_config/edit/section/analyticsdash/ - any idea on that?  Thanks!

      I’ve been waiting for a Google Analytics Dashboard Magento extension like this for over 2 years! I tried out Jiraffe Analytics once, but it was too buggy (circa 4/2011).

      There was an alignment issue for some of the cells (Chrome 14 beta Win 7) as seen here: http://screencast.com/t/h43HLms9pMr

      I fixed mine with style=“vertical-align:middle;”

      Hi I just installed the extension on 1.6, cleared cache, logged out/in, and still receiving the error:
      GAPI: Failed to authenticate user. Error: “Error=BadAuthentication “

      any thoughts?  I am using the profile ID and not our UA tag.

      Thanks, looking forward to using a great extension!

      Installed the Google Analytics in Magento CE 1.5.1.  I get the following message:
      “GAPI: Failed to authenticate user. Error: “”“. 
      The [View full report] option works fine and gives me access to my Google Analytics account as it should be.
      What is causing this problem and how is it solved?

      With Magento 1.6.1.0, this produced the error that was already mentioned above: The frontend works fine, but the backend after refreshing all caches only shows “Fatal error: Class ‘HO_Analyticsdash_Helper_Data’ not found in xxx\app\Mage.php on line xxx” (for me it was line 516 this time). Only solved it by killing the cache and removing all Analyticsdash files. Would’ve been a great add-on…

      Hi,

      I was just wondering if there is any update to the custom user role bug where the Analytics tab is not visible to non admin users ?

      Otherwise a fantastic addition to magento
      Thanks :)

        For anyone else having an issue with custom permission roles you need to add the following block of code on line 47 directly after <resources>  to enable you to enable the Analytics option in the main menu

        app/code/community/HO/Analyticsdash/etc/config.xml

          <admin>
            <children>
            <analyticsdash>
                    <title>Analytics</title>
                    <sort_order>15</sort_order>
            </analyticsdash>
            </children>
          </admin>

      Beside that: Any updates planned for Magento 1.6.2.0?
      Great extension, keep going! :)

          Hoi Qbizner, Dat is waarschijnlijk een kwestie van uit- en weer inloggen op het adminpanel. Dat heb je altijd als je een nieuwe Magento module installeert die een eigen admin pagina heeft! Succes, Erwin

      Guys, if you are having issues with permissions, you have to access https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha first, with whatever account you are trying to login with.
      Once you do this, the module should start working

    • Hoi Bas,
      Dit kan verschillende oorzaken hebben, maar meestal heeft het te maken met Facebook’s caching. Wat je kunt proberen is even de facebook-cache te vernieuwen door de url van je pagina hier in te voeren, facebook update dan de thumbnail die je ziet bij het liken: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

    • Ha Pieter. Het is mogelijk om een BTW tarief per land in te stellen en op deze manier kan er dus 19% BTW gerekend worden.

      View comment 03 apr by Paul Hachmang

    • Interessant. Goed stuk. Een vraag echter, ervan uitgaande dat de webwinkel het Duitse BTW tarief moet hanteren gezien de omzet hoe is dat te integreren in een multishop? Kan er per store view (met 1 backend) en andere BTW tarief e.d. per store view worden gehanteerd?
