Allows for Experiment Data to be integrated with your application so that experiments can be served without the usage of the GCE javascript implementation. For more information please see [running a server-side experiment](https://developers.google.com/analytics/solutions/experiments-server-side). License ------- [](#license) SilverStripe Google Content Experiments is released under the [MIT license](http://heyday.mit-license.org/) Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` If using SilverStripe version 2.4, please use the 1.0.0 tag $ composer require silverstripe-googlecontentexperiments ``` How to use ---------- [](#how-to-use) ### Setup [](#setup) First you must set up the correct authentication details so that Google Content Experiments can retrieve data from your Google Analytics account. To do this: - Visit - Sign in with the account you use to manage your analytics - Create a new project for the website you wish to target - Browse to 'Services' and enable the Analytics API - Browse to 'API access' and click 'Create another client ID' - Choose 'Service account' - Download the private key and store it somewhere securely within your application directory Once this is done, you will see the details for the service account. From here, you will need to copy the email address which was generated and add it to the analytics account you are targeting with 'Read & Analyze' access only. This will allow the server connection to read your experiment data. ### Configuration [](#configuration) Once you have set up the account and downloaded the private key for your application we have to configure the service. This can be completed in your `_config.php` with the following. This code sets up the dependancy injection container which is used. ``` use Heyday\GoogleContentExperiments; $container = GoogleContentExperiments\Container::getInstance(); $container['google_content_experiments.class'] = 'Heyday\GoogleContentExperiments\GoogleContentExperiments'; $container['google_content_experiments.config.project_id'] = 'PROJECT_ID'; $container['google_content_experiments.config.web_property_id'] = 'WEB_PROPERTY_ID'; $container['google_content_experiments.config.profile_id'] = 'PROFILE_ID'; $container['google_analytics_service'] = function ($c) { $client = new \GoogleApi\Client( array( 'application_name' => 'APPLICATION_NAME', 'oauth2_client_id' => 'CLIENT_ID', 'use_objects' => true ) ); $client->setAssertionCredentials( new \GoogleApi\Auth\AssertionCredentials( 'EMAIL_ADDRESS', array('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly'), // SCOPE file_get_contents( BASE_PATH . PATH_TO_SERVER_KEY ) ) ); return new \GoogleApi\Contrib\AnalyticsService( $client ); }; ``` Generally the following applies: ``` PROJECT_ID: available from your Analytics account WEB_PROPERTY_ID: available from your Analytics account - usually takes the form 'UA-11111111-11' PROFILE_ID: available from your Analytics account APPLICATION_NAME: the name of your Application CLIENT_ID: available from the Google APIs console SCOPE: Scope needed for the application - usually only 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly' EMAIL_ADDRESS: the email address which we previously added to our Analytics account ``` You also need to include the GoogleContentExperimentScripts somewhere on the page(s) you want to test. ``` ``` Its also a wise move to set up a cron job which will run the processor periodically for you and pick up the new experiments so that you can then run them. This also will update variations status as the experiments progress. ``` 0 */12 * * * /path/to/webroot/sapphire/sake GoogleContentExperimentsProcessor ``` ### Usage in templates [](#usage-in-templates) Templates are set up so that you can push the code without having to worry about the experiment being set up or running. This means that there is a necessary `` to make sure that when experiments finish the page goes back to 'normal' until it can be updated to the winning solution. ``` THIS IS THE ORIGINAL VARIATION THIS IS ALTERNATIVE VARIATION THIS IS ALTERNATIVE VARIATION NO EXPERIMENT IS RUNNING RETURN TO REGULAR SERVICES ``` `GoogleContentExperimentVariation()` takes two parameters, which are separated by an underscore. The first is the VariationID we are checking for, the second is the ExperimentID (internal ID). The above example shows three variation possibilities for ExperimentID 1. If you are only running one experiment per page, the ExperimentID is not needed, e.g. `` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) ### Unit Testing [](#unit-testing) ``` $ composer install --prefer-dist --dev $ phpunit ``` ### Code guidelines [](#code-guidelines) This project follows the standards defined in: - [PSR-0](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-0.md) - [PSR-1](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-1-basic-coding-standard.md) - [PSR-2](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md) ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 62% of packages Maintenance28 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity9 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity61 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
