CodeIgniter

CodeIgniter analytics with Stickybeak starts by adding its script to your rendered pages; this guide shows you where it belongs and how to track page views, goals and purchase revenue.

#Add the script

1. #Set the site ID

   Copy the ID from Settings in the dashboard and add it to the .env file on your production server:

   CI_ENVIRONMENT = production
   STICKYBEAK_SITE_ID = YOUR_SITE_ID

2. #Add it to your layout

   Put this before </head>:

   <script>window.stickybeak = window.stickybeak || function () { (window.stickybeak.q = window.stickybeak.q || []).push(arguments); };</script>
   <?php if (ENVIRONMENT === 'production' && env('STICKYBEAK_SITE_ID')): ?>
       <script
           defer
           data-site="<?= esc(env('STICKYBEAK_SITE_ID'), 'attr') ?>"
           data-domain="example.com"
           src="https://app.usestickybeak.com/_cfw/s.js"
       ></script>
   <?php endif ?>

#Check it's working

Publish first, then follow Verify your install.

#Track goals

Give any button or link a data-goal attribute. See Custom goals.

<a href="<?= site_url('pricing') ?>" data-goal="view_pricing">Pricing</a>

#Fire a goal after a redirect

Attach the goal as flashdata on the redirect:

return redirect()->to('/welcome')->with('stickybeak_goal', [
    'name'  => 'signup',
    'props' => ['plan' => $plan],
]);

<?php $goal = session()->getFlashdata('stickybeak_goal'); ?>
<?php if ($goal): ?>
    <script>window.stickybeak(<?= json_encode($goal['name'], JSON_HEX_TAG | JSON_HEX_AMP | JSON_HEX_APOS | JSON_HEX_QUOT) ?>, <?= json_encode((object) ($goal['props'] ?? []), JSON_HEX_TAG | JSON_HEX_AMP | JSON_HEX_APOS | JSON_HEX_QUOT) ?>);</script>
<?php endif ?>

#Track purchases

return redirect()->to('/order/thanks')->with('stickybeak_goal', [
    'name'  => 'purchase',
    'props' => ['revenue' => $order['total'], 'currency' => 'USD', 'order_id' => (string) $order['id']],
]);

See Revenue.

#If it isn't working

• Check CI_ENVIRONMENT and STICKYBEAK_SITE_ID in the server’s .env.
