I'm not getting page events with google analytics now. I need to be able to add the code to the page headers.

<script>
  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
  })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

  ga('create', 'UA-xxxxxxxx, 'auto');
  ga('send', 'pageview');

</script>

How can I do this in the chameleon skin?

The layout of the page elements (nav bar, logo, search bar, etc.) is defined in an XML file. There are several layouts available. Have a look at what's contained in .../skins/chameleon/layouts/. To add your script, the best way would be to adapt the layout file.

  • Copy the layout file you would like to use to a location where you keep your customization stuff. This could even be the root of your MW installation, but I'd recommend a dedicated folder.
  • Edit it and add an HTML type component just before the closing </structure> tag:
<component type="Html"><![CDATA[
<script>
  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
  })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

  ga('create', 'UA-xxxxxxxx, 'auto');
  ga('send', 'pageview');

</script>
]]></component>
  • Use your custom layout by setting the variable $egChameleonLayoutFile in LocalSettings.php: $egChameleonLayoutFile= __DIR__ . '/path-to-layout-file/standard.xml';

This should probably go into a FAQ somewhere, so please tell me if it worked.

I added the code to navhead.xml creating my own version in our sandbox, I was able to see the code was added viewing source. moved it to my dev server with from what I can tell the exact configuration and I do not see it.

The server for the sandbox is SUSE MediaWiki 1.23.6 PHP 5.3.8 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.0.96

The dev server Redhat MediaWiki 1.23.6 PHP 5.3.3 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.6.19-log

I think it should also be possible to add your script using the MediaWiki:Common.js page. If not I'd consider it a bug. See Manual:Interface/JavaScript.

I found this snippet that I believe is working

$wgExtensionFunctions[] = 'wfGoogleAnalytics';
function wfGoogleAnalytics() {
  global $wgOut;
  $wgOut->addScript(
'<script>
  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i["GoogleAnalyticsObject"]=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
  })(window,document,"script","//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js","ga");

  ga("create", "UA-xxxxxxxx-x", "auto");
  ga("send", "pageview");

</script>'
  );
}

I was still not getting behavior information I modified the Google Analytics integration extension that I was using. Modified to look like 

/*	return <<<HTML
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("{$wgGoogleAnalyticsAccount}");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}
</script>
HTML;
*/
return <<<HTML
<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', "$wgGoogleAnalyticsAccount"]);
  _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'xxxxxxx']);
  _gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);
  _gaq.push(['_setSiteSpeedSampleRate', 50]);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

</script>
HTML;
}

I do not know that extension. Maybe you could try to just add that snippet above ($wgExtensionFunctions[] = 'wfGoogleAnalytics'; function wfGoogleAnalytics() {...}) to your LocalSettings.php. Also, it could help to know if this works with other skins, like vector or monobook.

I will test the combination of the 2 scripts in Local settings.
I'm not sure how to get it into the header.
the above 2 setups end up at the bottom of the body. $wgExtensionFunctions[] = 'wfGoogleAnalytics'; function wfGoogleAnalytics() {...}
Will work in local settings
