I want to track all the data and user interactions through google analytics for my entire website which is built with rails.
I added a script that I found online that looks like it works but I dont know how to certainly validate that. In my google analytics dashboard it shows visitors coming to my page but never leaving the index page. I think its only tracking that page and no others because I went on my page the other day and clicked through some of my other pages just to test the analytics out.
does any one have a resource on how to implement this correctly?
Below is the script file I have in assets/javascript
class @GoogleAnalytics
@load: -> # Google Analytics depends on a global _gaq array. window is the global scope. window._gaq = window._gaq.push ["_setAccount", GoogleAnalytics.analyticsId()]
# Create a script element and insert it in the DOM ga = document.createElement("script") ga.type = "text/javascript" ga.async = true ga.src = ((if "https:" is document.location.protocol then "https://ssl" else "http://www")) + ".google-analytics.com/ga.js" firstScript = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0] firstScript.parentNode.insertBefore ga, firstScript
# If Turbolinks is supported, set up a callback to track pageviews on page:change. # If it isn't supported, just track the pageview now. if typeof Turbolinks isnt 'undefined' and Turbolinks.supported document.addEventListener "page:change", (-> GoogleAnalytics.trackPageview() ), true else GoogleAnalytics.trackPageview()
@trackPageview: (url) -> unless GoogleAnalytics.isLocalRequest() if url window._gaq.push ["_trackPageview", url] else window._gaq.push ["_trackPageview"] window._gaq.push ["_trackPageLoadTime"]
@isLocalRequest: -> GoogleAnalytics.documentDomainIncludes "local"
@documentDomainIncludes: (str) -> document.domain.indexOf(str) isnt -1
@analyticsId: -> # your google analytics ID(s) here... 'MY_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID'
GoogleAnalytics.load()
