Hello everyone,

I tried searching for the topic but I did not find anything.

I am trying to monitor my websites thru google analytics. As you may know, to be able to do that you have to include a html code from google to your DNN website(right after the "</body>.

Where exactly do you add the code or you directly add it in the dnn user interface?

any ideas?

 

Thanks

Stoyan Dimitrov

There are multiple ways to do this. In DNN 5.x this is available out of the box. In previous versions, you can download the module to use from several sites for free. One is called DNN Stuff.

Thanks Crispy

I continued my research and I found this:

"....

  1. Login as either the DNN administrator or super user (host) account.
  2. Navigate to your home page
  3. Add a Text/HTML Module, preferable somewhere unobtrusive like the bottom of the page
  4. First, change the settings on the Text/HTML module so that the container is invisible (uncheck the 'Display Container' under the Page Settings section) and save your changes.
  5. Next, click the 'Edit Text' button on the module
  6. In the Edit Text window, click on the 'Source' button to view the actual HTML. Delete whatever content is in there (if any) and copy and paste your Google Analytics code that you received from Google. Make sure to click the Update button to save the changes.
  7. Next, go back into the Settings for the module, but this time expand the 'Advanced Settings' tab. Make sure the 'Show on every page' checkbox is checked and click 'Update'
  8. If you have https pages, navigate to those and manually delete the module from them. You won't be able to track your secure pages (maybe someone has a suggestion about this) ...." I added my website on google and it seems like it is going to work... I am going to research the other possibilities too. Thanks/Stoyan Dimitrov

Using a Text/HTML module will certainly work but you're better off with a dedicated module such as this free one from iFinity:
 
   http://www.ifinity.com.au/Products/Google_Analytics_Script_Module
 
The big advantage of using a dedicated module is to keep analytics from firing for admins / editors and, thus, recording false stats.  The iFinity module also allows you to divide your users' stats based on roles (track different security roles separately in Google Analytics).  The module also includes the source.
 
Cheers!
