    Yeah, just one site right now. I did make the backend functionality support any number of profiles, but decided to limit it to one because of space constraints where it's displayed.

    I see it just now,

    I always run around the DP's BST forum, now suddenly when I saw the section beside the welcome section that says link Google Analytics, I jumped here to know when was it added.

    Is it there long ago or added just now!

    Good facility for us.

    When I add this, It gives following errors.
    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/class_analytics.php on line 52

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/analytics.php on line 69


    Please tell me, what I need to do :)

    Thanks

    It might just be my own opinion, but I think this feature does not add add any value to the board.
    I don't see how it can be useful

    Its definitely a useful feature for a webmaster, and DP is essentially a webmaster's forum. Great addition to the site, to be sure!

    Hmmm... do you not have any profiles on the account you linked?

    Double check you linked the right Google Account (one that has stuff in Analytics): https://www.google.com/accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens

    If it's the wrong account, use the "remove" option at the bottom of this page and redo it: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/analytics.php

    You can make it that when someone enables analytics feature, it shows data in this white space right under the navbar

    [​IMG]


    It is spacious and can take maybe 5 profiles or something. more rows can be added if the member adds more profiles.

    I suggested once that white space be used for ads, but he didn't want to stretch or elongate the forum, but that was before, I dunno by now if he's changed his mind..

    Yeah... That wad one place I looked at adding it, but Luke Love said, I didn't want to make the layout any taller so it only works there if you do data as a row instead of a column, at which point you can only fit one set of data, so doesn't really solve anything.

    If anything, might do something where you can go to a page to view lots of metrics/profiles in one place. Just not on every page of the forum.

    Yeah I did (from scratch), even ended up creating a Google Analytics PHP class for it so I can reuse the code for other Google APIs or other Analytics tools.

    Shawn, there seems to be a problem with the tool. When I first activated it, the tool was displaying a list of site profiles that you can choose from to display in the box. Today I checked the tool and the list was showing only one site profile from my Google Analytics account which has around 10 site profiles added. Is there something wrong with the tool?

    Should be working again... I used the crappy XML parser built into PHP and assumed the XML would always be formatted the same. I guess that assumption was incorrect. Switched to the vBulletin XML parser, and it's much better now.
