Install instructions: 1. Copy the analytics directory to the local directory of your Moodle instance 2. Visit the notifications page 3. Configure the plugin

Configuration: The plugin currently supports 3 Analytics modes, Piwik, Google Universal Analytics and Google Legacy Analytics.

Piwik - Set the Site ID - Choose whether you want image fallback tracking - Enter the URL to your Piwik install excluding http/https and trailing slashes - Choose whether you want to track admins (not recommended) - Choose whether you want to send Clean URLs (recommended): Piwik will aggregrate Page Titles and show a nice waterfall cascade of all sites, including categories and action types

Google Universal Analytics - Plugin modifies the page speed sample to have 50% of your visitors samples for page speed instead of 1% making it much more useful - Set your Google tracking ID - Choose whether you want to track admins (not recommended) - Choose whether you want to send Clean URLs (not recommended): Google analytics will no longer be able to use overlays and linking back to your Moodle site

Google Legacy Analytics (soon deprecated by Google) - Plugin modifies the page speed sample to have 50% of your visitors samples for page speed instead of 1% making it much more useful - Set your Google tracking ID - Choose whether you want to track admins (not recommended) - Choose whether you want to send Clean URLs (not recommended): Google analytics will no longer be able to use overlays and linking back to your Moodle site

Workings: The plugin will inject tracking code for Analytics purposes into every page. If debugging is enabled the URL that is tracked will be displayed on the bottom of the page.
