Topic on Extension talk:GoogleAnalyticsMetrics

per @Tosfos's last comment!

While trying to install the extension on our machine (Ubuntu 16, MW 1.29) both with branch 1.29 and master. Looks like it does not find the Api client Library (Composer installed inside extensions' directory). This is the exception when using the master:

Error from line 203 of /path/to/wiki/w/extensions/GoogleAnalyticsMetrics/GoogleAnalyticsMetrics.hooks.php: Class 'Google_Service_Analytics' not found

Note that this is talk by @Wess: originally posted to the extension's page.

Thanks

@Wess The best way to include the dependencies is to modify (or create) a composer.local.json file in the wiki root. Then run composer update --no-dev from the wiki root. Your composer.local.json file should look something like this:

{
   "extra": {
       "merge-plugin": {
           "include": [
               "extensions/GoogleAnalyticsMetrics/composer.json"
           ]
       }
   }
}

You can also try something like this. Please confirm if this works for you. Please use the master branch.

Two problems in documentation - or I missed something.

1. To make things work, I had to set global variable - $wgGoogleAnalyticsMetricsViewId. Viewid can found as described here https://keyword-hero.com/documentation/finding-your-view-id-in-google-analytics
2. The example: {{#googleanalyticsmetrics:pageviews}} is not working. Instead you need to write {{#googleanalyticsmetrics:metric=pageviews}}

You are correct. The documentation is now out of date. We will update it shortly. Thanks!

@Tosfos, do the docs still need updates?

This is resolved.
