    How come I can not install Google Analytics Dashboard under the Package Management in MODX 2.3.1?

    I tried searching Google, Google Analytics, Google Analytics Dashboard, Analytics Dashboard - nothing. It will not show up for any of them.

    I had it on my old website which had MODX 2.2

    If I was to download the zip directly from here:
    http://modx.com/extras/package/googleanalyticsdashboard

    Could I install it that way? And if so, how?


    Thanks

      I do not see it there neither. So you can download and install it.
      How to:
      - Old style:

      1. Place the package at .../core/packages/
      2. Go to Extras, Installer
      3. Click on the arrow just to the right of "Download Extras" and choose "search locally for packages"





      - New 2.3 style (didn't try it myself)

      1. Go to Extras, Installer
      2. Click on the arrow just to the right of "Download Extras" and choose "Upload a package"

      Then you will need to apply this fix for the layout issue: http://forums.modx.com/thread/92380/google-analytics-dashboard-widget-1-0-1-pl-layout-fix-for-modx-2-3-x#dis-post-506672

        Thanks for this, however my whole MODX manager is all messed up now..

        This is what I see when I go to any page:


        When I try to do that fix, and go to assets/components/analytics, the only 3 folders I see are data, js, and swf. I do not see a css folder

            I just did this playing about with this extra in 2.3.1

            To solve it, go into your database through phpMyAdmin, find manager_theme in the modx_system_settings table, replace the value analytics with default, then manually clear the cache.

              The instruction quoted above from me, is a fix for Google Analytics WIDGET, not the dashboard.

                And I was replying on how to fix the problem he had.

                  If this is a fix for for the analytics dashboard, would you please create a post for it with a title of full extra name and version, and post that fix there? and if possible would you please post that on github https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/issues/11630#issuecomment-52910047

                    As explained it's not a fix for the extra, it's how to fix OP's manager after it was broken. This thread is about Google Analytics Dashboard 1.0.2-pl in 2.3.x .not the Widget extra.

                      Ahhh, i thought after changing the manager theme back to default the extra will work. bad that it doesn't work on 2.3.1, i didn't try it before and i was planning to , I use the widget and Bigbrother.
