Wagtail Analytics

This module provides a simple dashboard of Google Analytics data, integrated into the Wagtail admin UI. Tested on Wagtail 1.4+.

Instructions

1. Create a service account and download the JSON key
2. Make sure the Analytics API is enabled for your project (See issue 2)
3. Add the service account email address as a read-only user in Google Analytics (account > property > user management)
4. Find the ID for your Google Analytics property
5. Store your JSON key somewhere safe
6. pip install wagalytics
7. Add 'wagalytics' to your INSTALLED_APPS
8. Add 'wagtailfontawesome' to INSTALLED_APPS if it's not there already
9. Update your settings:

• GA_KEY_FILEPATH = '/path/to/secure/directory/your-key.json'
• GA_VIEW_ID = 'ga:xxxxxxxx'

If you get CryptoUnavailableError errors, you probably need to pip install PyOpenSSL and/or pip install pycrypto. See StackOverflow.

Developers

Developers will need to carry out the following steps after cloning wagalytics:

• Ensure NodeJS & NPM are installed
• Run npm install then npm run build in the top level wagalytics directory

You will need to run npm run build anytime the javascript source is updated.

TODO

• allow configuration of results
• better styling, e.g. using chart.js
• Throw an error if the relevant settings aren't available
• add per-page results

Notes

This module doesn't help with recording user activity. See the Wagtail docs and StackOverflow for pointers on how to avoid gathering data during preview and testing.
