Installation and configuration

Integration of your analytics service is very simple. There are four
steps: installing the package, adding it to the list of installed Django
applications, adding the template tags to your base template, and
configuring the services you use in the project settings.

2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
Installing the Python package
=============================
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
To install django-analytical the ``analytical`` package must be added to
the Python path. You can install it directly from PyPI using
``easy_install``::
$ easy_install django-analytical
You can also install directly from source. Download either the latest
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
stable version from PyPI_ or any release from GitHub_, or use Git to
get the development code::
$ git clone https://github.com/jcassee/django-analytical.git
.. _PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-analytical/
.. _GitHub: http://github.com/jcassee/django-analytical
Then install the package by running the setup script::
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
$ cd django-analytical
$ python setup.py install

2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
Installing the Django application
=================================
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
After you installed django-analytical, add the ``analytical`` Django
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
application to the list of installed applications in the ``settings.py``
file of your project::
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'analytical',
...
]
.. _adding-the-template-tags:
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
Adding the template tags to the base template
=============================================
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
Because every analytics service uses own specific Javascript code that
should be added to the top or bottom of either the head or body of the
HTML page, django-analytical provides four general-purpose template tags
that will render the code needed for the services you are using. Your
base template should look like this::
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
{% load analytical %}
<!DOCTYPE ... >
<html>
<head>
{% analytical_head_top %}
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
...
{% analytical_head_bottom %}
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
</head>
<body>
{% analytical_body_top %}
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
...
{% analytical_body_bottom %}
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
</body>
</html>
Instead of using the generic tags, you can also just use tags specific
for the analytics service(s) you are using. See :ref:`services` for
documentation on using individual services.
.. _enabling-services:
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
Enabling the services
=====================
2011-01-21 01:01:40 +00:00
Without configuration, the template tags all render the empty string.
Services are configured in the project ``settings.py`` file. The
settings required to enable each service are listed here:
