Question

I have this snippet:

<script type="text/javascript">
        var _gaq = _gaq || [];
        _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-11111111-1']);
        _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>

How do I store my account id in web.config? And
how can I get it back from web.config to js (instead of writting the id directly)?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Probably there is no structured way to do it,I just called it from web.config (without using any action, but simply write it) like that:

in web.config:

<appSettings>
<add key="GoogleAnalyticsAccountId" value="UA-11111111-1" />
</appSettings>

in js:

_gaq.push(['_setAccount', '@System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["GoogleAnalyticsAccountId"]']);
