I'm a bit late to this thread, but found it really useful.
In case this is of any use to future explorers of the thread, I
thought I'd contribute what we ended up doing: we put
<lift:Analytics.google /> (snippet below) before </body> in our
template. I guess this may have been all over-taken by the lift:tail
work.
--
import scala.xml.NodeSeq
import net.liftweb._
import http._
import S._
import util._
import Props.RunModes._
class Analytics {
// To avoid non-XHTML compliant JavaScript we decide if we're https
or not here.
// See e.g.,
http://happygiraffe.net/blog/2009/06/06/google-analytics-in-xhtml/
def google_script_url = S.request match {
case Full(req) if req.request.scheme == "https" =>
"https://ssl.google-analytics.com/ga.js";
case _ => "http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js";
}
// Output the Google Analytics JavaScript
def google(xhtml: NodeSeq) = Props.mode match {
case Production | Pilot | Staging =>
<script type="text/javascript" src={google_script_url}></script> ++
<script type="text/javascript">
<![CDATA[try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker('UA-nnnnnnnn-1');
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}
]]>
</script>
case _ => Nil
}
}
---
...but replacing 'UA-nnnnnnnn-1' with your tracking code.
Warning: I've not tested with a https site yet.
