How do I use the Google Analytics plugin ?

Hello !

I've created this kind of drum box (still in beta actually) : boomboomfactory.org

I've setted google analytics that works fine to know the global visit, but I would like to also know wich tracks users prefer (currently there are 3 : Tribecore / Hardtek / Electro).

So I've installed this plugin, but I have no idea how it works :/ (I'm more an illustrator/musician than a dev guy ^^) : construct.net/en/make-games/addons/307/google-analytics-handy

When I create a "Sent" event I have no idea what I have to enter here, and if I have to set something special in Google Analytics.

Does anyone that use it could help please ?

Thanks mikehive for your answer.

I've entered the settings that you indicated.

On the "live" panel of GA I don't see any new event appearing, but maybe it needs more time to update, or maybe it is is waiting for a UA-xxxxxxx ID : I have the version 4 of GA (with a G-XXXXX ID).

I created a new property with UA-xxxxxxx ID and will see if it changes anything.

Oh, yeah, GA 4 is a bit weird with viewing live Events (honestly I haven't used it all that much). UA-xxxxxx id should work better.

If nothing shows up under the live view, try checking back after 24 hours and see if your data has arrived.

Honestly, I really hate GA4 (along with everybody else). I wish they would just put it back the way it was.

Hello, here's today's update : I still don't see any event in my GA chart ^^

I see two possible cause :

- I still use my GA 4 for the global stats (in my index.html file) and only setted the UA-xxxxxx account in the plugin. Maybe they have to be the same.

- As the value is set to "0", maybe it is not counted in the stats.

I tried to fill every value instead of leaving blank, I will see if it changes anything tomorrow.

If not, I'll set the UA-xxxxxx in the index.html too.

Just dropping in to say cool project. You should post it on the my creations thread

Thanks a lot calminthenight 😃

I did it when I launched the site if I remember well ^^

Hello,

I've found why I didn't get any stats.

Despite I was in "auto mode" I had to set an Initialize action.

I added one "On start of Layout" and it is working fine now.

Leaving the 2 last empty is ok too.

:)

Hi everyone, I'm the developer of the plugin. I've had a report on the issue you guys commented. I'll post an update. It's important to highlight that this plugin uses Google Universal Analytics, not Google Analytics 4. I'm working on a new plugin to support GA4. If you have any doubts or inquiries, you can contact me directly on my discord server: https://discord.gg/T4GHBTc

Thanks for using it, I have other small plugins on sale too if you'd like to support my work: https://ppstudiomty.itch.io/
