Question

I’ve developed a RoR application, and want to integrate Google Analytics so I can track usage etc… what is options I have, and which is the best choice? I’m not looking for anything too complicated, the easier it is to integrate the better. I’m only really after fairly basic functions.

Answer 1

The simplest way would be for you to include the google analytics code in your application’s layout file(s)’s footer.

You could find a plugin to do the same, but it’s simple enough to not warrant a plugin in my opinion.

Something like the following in your layout files.

<%= render("shared/google_analytics") %>

In app/views/shared/_google_analytics.html.erb

<%= GOOGLE ANALYTICS CODE %>
