Demographics and Interests report support #39

Closed nilsmedina closed 10 years ago

nilsmedina commented 10 years ago

When I try to access Demographics and Interests overview, I get this :

Your Demographics and Interest Reports have been enabled, but your Analytics tracking code does not include the necessary support to show them. Learn more about the simple, one-line, one-time change to your tracking code to add this support.

Along with this message there is a button to "validate tracking code", which fails. Are Demographics and Interests supported with this gem? If yes, any idea on how I can fix it?

Are you using 1.0.0? or one of the older versions?

nilsmedina commented 10 years ago

yes, I am using 1.0.0

kangguru commented 10 years ago

1.0.0 is using the new universal analytics, which unfortunately has no support for "Demographics and Interests"

Universal Analytics does not currently support the the dc.js JavaScript and related features (Remarketing, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, DoubleClick Campaign Manager Integration, and the Google Analytics Demographics and Interests Reports). If you use any of these features, upgrade to Universal Analytics after dc.js is supported. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/upgrade/

though you can still use 0.14.0 with this option set:

config.middleware.use Rack::GoogleAnalytics, tracker: 'UA-xxxxxx-x', advertising: true

oops, I must admit I didn't research issues on google side, sorry for that :) Anyway, thanks!

kangguru commented 10 years ago

no worries :) let me know if it all works with the old version

nilsmedina commented 10 years ago

I will stay on the universal analytics for this page because it's not such a big deal, but it's good to know for future reference :)
