Google Analytics

I'm having real trouble getting Google Analytics set up with BigTree. Seems that my Google login isn't accepted. I don't suppose you guys have a step-by-step guide on what I should be doing?

Re: Google Analytics

It's been a long time since RC1 now (RC2 is coming soon, I swear) but I believe the way we were authenticating with username / passwords was removed by Google (you can no longer grab a list of a user's profiles via feed anymore).  We switched to OAuth in the development branch to solve the issues and make it hopefully future-proof.

The only way to get Analytics running again in older versions is to authenticate in the development branch and then grab the profile ID that is stored in bigtree_settings and put it back in the older version.

Re: Google Analytics

I thought it might be down to a change in the way authentication works. No problem: can wait for RC2 to drop before switching this on.

P.S. We just launched http://www.shannontrust.org.uk running on BigTree — has given us so much flexibility during development.
