Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This module provides the ability to fire google analytics events when files are directly requested (i.e. PDFs) Client-side approach allows for simple install & negates the need for a separate analytics account (which is required for server-side solutions).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe 3.1
- Page must properly include jquery & google analytics (Classic, ga.js)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

For apache, your .htaccess file will need to reroute requests to PDFs so they can hit a server-side FileAnalyticsController The RewriteRule is skipped query string for processed=1; this query string is provided by the JS redirect after tracking the event.

```
### PDF Tracking ###
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !processed=1
RewriteRule ^(.*\.pdf)$ file-analytics?seg=$1 [R=302,L,NC]
####################

```

Limitations
-----------

[](#limitations)

- Because of the client-side redirect, a 301 status cannot be sent, so this will likely prevent PDFs from being indexed by search engines.
- Only Classic Analytics is supported (ga.js). Look for Universal Analytics (analytics.js) in a future version.
