Upgrade to Universal Analytics #33

Open tmaier opened 10 years ago

tmaier commented 10 years ago

Google is really pushing the migration to the new Universal Analytics. With this update, the tracking code and methods to call change significantly. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/upgrade/guide

I suggest to upgrade the tracking code and release this new version as version 1.0. This way it's obvious to everyone using this gem that there is a major change.

We're already working on the migration. Until then you might checkout the "analytics-js" branch

Is it possible to make the GA location configurable so we can point it to:

stats.g.doubleclick.net/dc.js
kangguru commented 10 years ago

From my knowledge the Universal Analytics doesn't have support for all the dc.js features. Please also have a look at #39 using the older 0.14.0 version might an option for you if you want to used these features.
