Purpose

Honestly, all the other Google Analytics Django apps suck. All I want to do is put my Google Analytics code in my settings.py file, and use a simple template tag to render the Google Analytics asynchronous javascript code, damnet!

Unfortunately, all the existing solutions don't do this, and that pisses me off!

Installation and Usage

Anyway, let's install this bitch! The first thing you'll want to do is run:

$ pip install django-ganalytics

Next, modify your settings.py file, and add your Google Analytics code (usually something like UA-XXXXXXXX-XX), as well as put ganalytics in your INSTALLED_APPS:

# settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # ...
    'ganalytics',
)

GANALYTICS_TRACKING_CODE = 'UA-XXXXXXXX-XX'

Now, to actually render your Google Analytics asynchronous javascript code, edit your desired Django template (I like to do this in my base.html template), and add the following:

{% load ganalytics %}
<!--- ... -->

<head>
  {% ganalytics %}
</head>

<!--- ... -->

When Django processes your template, it'll replace {% ganalytics %} with:

<script>
  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
  })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

  ga('create', '{{ GANALYTICS_TRACKING_CODE }}', 'auto');
  ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>

Easy, right?
