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.
