Description

[Replica @ModReplica]

I'd like to see user flow from blog.webmaker.org posts to projects and pages on webmaker.org, as well as see inbound traffic from social media to the blog.

The profile is currently setup to accept any traffic from anything ending in webmaker.org or makes.org. If you add the GA tag noted here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854445#c2 to blog.webmaker.org, it will show up in the main webmaker profile. You will need to segment the traffic to be able to see it.

As mentioned in bug # 916854, we need to update the snippet on blog.webmaker.org so that we can create a reporting profile under our webmaker account: 

<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-35433268-12']);
  _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'webmaker.org']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

</script>

I can do this - I was waiting to secure some dev support in case I made an error, as other parts of our wordpress needs updating and that's not my forte. Will advise when code is added.

Added Erika D.

I'm no longer working on this issue, by request. Please assist Erika moving forward.

Hey Gareth, Do you know if that snippet update above got done? If not, can you walk me through it? Alternatively I can ask one of the Webmaker devs for help. Thank you!

Alright, I've updated the snippet on blog.webmaker.org. Data should be coming through in 24 hours or so...
