A statistics tracking module for oCMS supporting Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Tag Manager (GTM), and Matomo.

Features

  • Google Analytics 4 (GA4) integration
  • Google Tag Manager (GTM) integration
  • Matomo (self-hosted analytics) integration
  • Enable/disable each tracker independently
  • Template functions for injecting tracking scripts
  • Admin interface for configuration
  • Settings persisted in database

Supported Platforms

Platform ID Format Example
Google Analytics 4 G-XXXXXXXXXX G-ABC123XYZ
Google Tag Manager GTM-XXXXXXX GTM-ABC1234
Matomo URL + Site ID https://matomo.example.com + 1

Admin Interface

Access at Admin > Modules > External Analytics or /admin/external-analytics.

Routes
Method Path Description
GET /admin/external-analytics Settings dashboard
POST /admin/external-analytics Save settings

Configuration

Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
  1. Navigate to External Analytics settings
  2. Enable GA4
  3. Enter your Measurement ID (G-XXXXXXXXXX)
  4. Save settings

The tracking script is automatically injected into <head> on all public pages.

Google Tag Manager (GTM)
  1. Navigate to External Analytics settings
  2. Enable GTM
  3. Enter your Container ID (GTM-XXXXXXX)
  4. Save settings

GTM script is injected in <head> with noscript fallback at end of <body>.

Note: When GTM is enabled, standalone GA4 script injection is disabled since GA4 is typically configured within GTM.

Matomo
  1. Navigate to External Analytics settings
  2. Enable Matomo
  3. Enter your Matomo server URL (e.g., https://matomo.example.com/)
  4. Enter your Site ID
  5. Save settings

Matomo tracking script is injected in <head> with image tracker fallback for noscript.

Template Functions

Add these functions to your theme's base template:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    ...
    {{ analyticsExtHead }}
</head>
<body>
    ...
    {{ analyticsExtBody }}
</body>
</html>
analyticsExtHead

Returns tracking scripts for the <head> section:

  • GTM script tag
  • GA4 gtag.js (when GTM is disabled)
  • Matomo tracking code
analyticsExtBody

Returns tracking scripts for end of <body>:

  • GTM noscript iframe fallback
  • Matomo image tracker fallback

Database Schema

Settings are stored in a single-row table:

CREATE TABLE analytics_settings (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY CHECK (id = 1),
    ga4_enabled INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
    ga4_measurement_id TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
    gtm_enabled INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
    gtm_container_id TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
    matomo_enabled INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
    matomo_url TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
    matomo_site_id TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
    updated_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

Script Injection Details

GTM Head Script
<!-- Google Tag Manager -->
<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start':
new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src=
'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
})(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-XXXXXXX');</script>
<!-- End Google Tag Manager -->
GTM Body Fallback
<!-- Google Tag Manager (noscript) -->
<noscript><iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-XXXXXXX"
height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></noscript>
<!-- End Google Tag Manager (noscript) -->
GA4 Script (standalone)
<!-- Google Analytics 4 -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXXXXXXXX"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
  gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX');
</script>
<!-- End Google Analytics 4 -->
Matomo Script
<!-- Matomo -->
<script>
  var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || [];
  _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
  _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
  (function() {
    var u="https://matomo.example.com/";
    _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'matomo.php']);
    _paq.push(['setSiteId', '1']);
    var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    g.async=true; g.src=u+'matomo.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
  })();
</script>
<!-- End Matomo Code -->

Internationalization

Translations are embedded and automatically loaded. Supported languages:

  • English (en)
  • Russian (ru)

Add new languages by creating locales/{lang}/messages.json.

Module Active Status

The module can be enabled/disabled from Admin > Modules:

  • Active: Routes accessible, template functions inject scripts
  • Inactive: Routes return 404/redirect, no scripts injected

IP Exclusion

External analytics scripts (GA4, GTM, Matomo) are always injected on public pages to ensure accurate pen testing and security audits. To exclude specific IPs from being counted, configure IP filters directly in your analytics platform:

  • Google Analytics 4: Admin > Data Streams > Configure Tag Settings > Define Internal Traffic
  • Google Tag Manager: Use built-in variables to filter by IP in tag triggers
  • Matomo: Administration > Websites > Excluded IPs

For server-side IP exclusion (internal analytics only), use the Internal Analytics module's "Excluded IPs" setting.

Security

  • All IDs are HTML-escaped before injection
  • Settings require admin authentication
  • CSRF protection on form submission
  • Trailing slashes on Matomo URLs are normalized

Validation

When saving settings:

  • GA4 enabled requires Measurement ID
  • GTM enabled requires Container ID
  • Matomo enabled requires both URL and Site ID

Validation errors are displayed as flash messages.
