[ckan-dev] Failing to configure Google Analytics [ckanext-googleanalytics] plugin to track downloads

[Steven De Costa]

Hi Sovello,

I asked Sergey in my team to take a look and he came back with the
following reply:

I took a quick look at extension - it seems that `resource_prefix` not
actually used anywhere. From our experience, i can suggest two possible
ways to make sure, that everything is working:
1. The whole `loadanalythics` is pretty old, so try to use analytics
dashboard instead. Download reports can be found in few places, one of
them Reporting -> Behavior -> Overview -> (left-bottom corner)
Events->Event Category. Do not forget to choose correct date range in
upper-right corner.
2. If it really doesn't work, check "Go to resource"/"Download" button
on resource's detail page. There should be class
`resource-url-analytics` among classes of this link - all download
reporting
is based on this class. There is few cases, when this class can be
missed:
- https://github.com/ckan/ckan/pull/3304 - in older versions
- when any other extension redefines template without adding this class
