[Archivesspace_Users_Group] put Google Analytics code snippet in ASpace

[Steele, Henry]

Thank you both for your replies and this helpful information.  I thought I'd tried that, but I must have tried to mangle the link into the Ruby tag.

It worked!  Thank you.   I just put this snippet in on dev, and although the GA account isn't set up for dev, the application restarted without issue and I could get to the PUI.

Thanks again!

Henry, all:

We did exactly what Joshua mentioned... added the snippet as provided by Google Tag Manager to the layout_head.html.erb file, and that's it.

Just out of curiosity, is anyone using alternatives to Google Analytics, such as https://matomo.org, with their ASpace PUI?

Mark

Hi Henry-

Its probably easiest to just insert the js in the erb file, since the erbs accept raw code (no need to escape) and the google snippet is unchanging. I'd just pop the snippet that Google provides right in there and you should be good to go!

Joshua

Have any of you successfully entered your Google Analytics code snippet JS in ASpace.  It goes in the layout head html erb, but I'm not sure how to include this since the existin code there just includes a Ruby tab with only the link as an attribute value.  Can I just put raw JS in here, inside a script tag?   Also, the GA code snippet has a link tag, but with the "async" attribute and I wasn't sure how to include this.



Thanks
