This gem allows the Google Analytics tracking code to be easily added to your theme templates.
It has a number of benefits over statically adding the tracking code directly in your theme layout:
- The tracking code can be easily changed by an Administrator within the Site Options
- The tracking code is only added in production mode
- The tracking code is not added when previewing pages in the admin
1. Add wheelhouse-google-analytics to your Gemfile:
gem "wheelhouse-google-analytics"
Then run bundle install.
2. Include the helper in your layout, just before the closing </body> tag:
<%= google_analytics %>
</body>
3. Set the tracking code within Configuration -> Site Options.
