- Brief description:
- Have you ever wanted to display Google Analytics charts directly within your Drupal website? There’s a module for that.
- Module name/project name:
- Brief history
- Created in Apr 2011 by raspberryman, but recent releases are by today’s guest Rajab Natshah
- Versions available include 7.x-3.2, 8.x-3.2, and 4.0.0, that last two of which support Drupal 10 and 11
- Maintainership
- Actively maintained, recent releases were less than a month ago
- Security coverage
- A documentation guide for older versions, and a README with detailed instructions to get it set up
- Number of open issues: 76 open issues, 9 of which are bugs against the current branch
- Usage stats:
- 4,272 sites
- Module features and usage
- To set up this module, you first need to set up the API connection in the Google Developers Console, and download the client secret JSON
- You’ll then upload that into the Google Analytics Report API submodule along with the property ID to enable the connection
- Next, you need to install the Charts module, and either the Google Charts or Highcharts sub-module to see graphical reports
- You will now have a new Google Analytics Summary in your site’s reports menu, and new "Google Analytics Reports Summary Block" and "Google Analytics Reports Page Block" blocks available
- I haven’t had a chance to try the 4.0 version of this module yet, but I have used older versions with a variety of dashboard solutions, including Moderation Dashboard and Homebox
- One of the many benefits of using a powerful, open source framework like Drupal to build your site is its ability to act as the “glass” for a variety of other systems, and this module is a perfect demonstration of that
