Hi- We followed these instructions to enable Google Analytics in Dspace: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/DSpace+Google+Analytics+Statistics
Is there something else we need to do to enable the downloads portion or is our customization in the item-view.xsl screwing things up?

Should "google-stats" be able to pull that data from Google Analytics just like it does for "Page Views" or is something not enabled correctly with Google stats in our Dspace instance? >From your other e-mail, it looks like you're using custom code to track >downloads.

This is probably starting to get into dspace-tech territory, but you can see the query that's built for bitstream downloads here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/google/GoogleQueryManager.java#L43: ga:eventCategory==bitstream;ga:eventAction==download;ga:pagePath=~"+ handle + "/" So it looks like this is looking for events with a category of "bitstream" and action of "download" on the current page. Your custom code from your other e-mail sends onclick="ga('send', 'event', 'File Downloads', 'Click', 'View/Open');" I'm guessing "File downlaods" is the category and "Click" the action, so there's a mismatch right there -- Google Analytics doesn't "know" that these are the same thing. cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand +64-7-837 9120 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Community" group.
