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:

  • Inactive: Routes return 404/redirect, no scripts injected

Security

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