Want privacy friendly analytics for Django? You're at the right place.
You need an account on Simple Analytics to see your stats collected by this plugin.
Install the plugin:
pip install simpleanalytics
Add the package to the INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...,
simpleanalytics,
]Next use the templatetag in your template:
<!DOCTYPE html>
{% load static simpleanalytics_tags %}
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>{% block page_title %}{{ site.name }}{% endblock %}</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
...
{% simpleanalytics_sync %}
...
</head>
</html>
This will translate to roughly this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>brwnppr.com</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://scripts.simpleanalyticscdn.com/latest.js"></script>
...
</head>
</html>
This app has four templatetags:
- simpleanalytics_sync
- simpleanalytics_async
simpleanalytics_sync converts to a plain <script> tag without the async
keyword.
simpleanalytics_async converts to a plain <script> tag with the async
keyword.
Tested on Django 2.2, but we think this should run on any recent Django deployment. Please raise an issue when it doesn't.
