Analytics Connectors Manual / Version 2210
Table Of ContentsCoreMedia Analytics Connectors demonstrates how to integrate third-party analytics services into CoreMedia CMS. The following third-party analytics services are integrated:
Google Analytics
The integration extends the delivery side (CAE) with tracking of page impressions. To take advantage of tracked data, this contribution extends the content types to support "top-n-lists" based on tracking data. A "top-n-list" content aggregates a list of "n" top-performing contents - regarding page impressions - where "n" is the number of resulting content items to be displayed. CoreMedia Studio is extended with content forms to set up top-n-lists and to configure the external analytics services.
If your project is based on CoreMedia Blueprint, you will be able to use the integration out of the box. Otherwise, it serves as an example of how to integrate external analytics services into your CoreMedia project.
CoreMedia Analytics Connectors combines the following major components:
CoreMedia Content Server content types to define "top-n-lists"
CAE content beans and service beans to render "top-n-lists"
Services include retrieval of analytics data, generation of "top-n-lists" and access to analytics related settings.
Solr external file field exporters
a plugin for CoreMedia Studio
The plugin allows editors to edit "top-n-list" content items and to configure the analytics service specific parameters to enable tracking and retrieval of tracked data.
