On the Google Analytics page/site, Google allows a way to help track website usage. They do this by creating some code that they ask the webmaster to insert in the HEAD area of the HTML. In the case of Composr, it would mean editing HTML_HEAD.tpl to add the following script (some of it is chopped out, but you'll get the idea)…

I think I'm missing something, because in that case, I'd have to edit every new version of Composr that came out.

There is is an option to add a
What'd I miss?

Hello,

Are you comfortable sharing the URL to the site so I can take a look and see if Composr is failing to inject anything entirely, or if Composr is actually injecting something (but maybe it's outdated or Google can't see it)?

Oh sure, it's Collapse.Forum

Thanks!

I've identified the issue; please report to the tracker so I can fix it and you'll get credit.

Actually, two separate tracker issues need reported…

—1—

Title: google-analytics.com not on list of trusted CSP sites
Description: google-analytics.com needs to be added to the list of trusted CSP sites when Google Analytics is active. Otherwise, the script gets blocked.

—2—

Title: Changing any public config options should trigger template cache flush
Description: Because public config values are stored in JavaScript configOptionsJson variable through a Tempcode symbol, changing any public configuration options should trigger an automatic template cache flush so this value is updated and is not stale.

Excellent! Will do.

Hello,

These bugs are fixed, but I just realized Composr is using Analytics v3 which was shut down. It does not support analytics / Google Tag Manager v4.

This is not something officially supported by Composr, so if you'd like Analytics v4 support / Google Tag Manager, please contact/hire me or another developer and it can be done. Given my financial situation, it is too much of a time commitment to implement without funding.
