django-analytical/docs/install.rst

==============================
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.

#. `Installing the Python package`_
#. `Installing the Django application`_
#. `Adding the template tags to the base template`_
#. `Enabling the services`_


.. _installing-the-package:

Installing the Python package
=============================

To install django-analytical the ``analytical`` package must be added to
the Python path.  You can install it directly from PyPI using
``easy_install``:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ easy_install django-analytical

You can also install directly from source.  Download either the latest
stable version from PyPI_ or any release from GitHub_, or use Git to
get the development code:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ git clone https://github.com/jazzband/django-analytical.git

.. _PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-analytical/
.. _GitHub: http://github.com/jazzband/django-analytical

Then install the package by running the setup script:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ cd django-analytical
    $ python setup.py install


.. _installing-the-application:

Installing the Django application
=================================

After you installed django-analytical, add the ``analytical`` Django
application to the list of installed applications in the ``settings.py``
file of your project:

.. code-block:: python

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
        ...
        'analytical',
        ...
    ]


.. _adding-the-template-tags:

Adding the template tags to the base template
=============================================

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:

.. code-block:: django

    {% load analytical %}
    <!DOCTYPE ... >
    <html>
        <head>
            {% analytical_head_top %}

            ...

            {% analytical_head_bottom %}
        </head>
        <body>
            {% analytical_body_top %}

            ...

            {% analytical_body_bottom %}
        </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:

Enabling the services
=====================

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:
