GA Dashboard Widget

Statamic GA Dashboard is a Statamic addon that adds a Google Analytics widget to your Statamic dashboard, letting site users/owners see how much traffic is coming to their site.

How to Install

You can search for this addon in the Tools > Addons section of the Statamic control panel and click install, or run the following command from your project root:

composer require vineyard/statamic-ga-dashboard

Publish the addon's config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Vineyard\StatamicGaDashboard\ServiceProvider"

This addon relies on the Spatie Laravel Analytics package and you'll need to follow their excellent instructions on obtaining credentials to communicate with Google Analytics.

After folling the instructions to get GA credentials, you'll need to copy the credentails file to following place. This is a file you'll want to reference in your site's .gitignore to keep it from being committed to a Git repo.

/storage/app/analytics/service-account-credentials.json

You'll also have a ANALYTICS_PROPERTY_ID listed in your .env file, siilar to this:

ANALYTICS_PROPERTY_ID=##########
