How to Guide - Stop Analytics Code loading when your logged into the manager

Hi

Ive recently been finding when working on a MODx site and testing it out my Analytics stats go off the scale due to manager users testing out the site etc so i thought it would be a good idea to be able to disable Analytics code if you was logged into the MODx Manager.

So heres the instructions

1. In your template or footer chunk add in a snippet call to [[googleAnalyticsCode]]

2. Create a chunk called googleAnalyticsCode and paste in your google tracking code

3. Create a snippet called googleAnalyticsCode and paste in the following

<?php
$google_AnalyticsCode = "";

if(!isset($_SESSION[’mgrValidated’])) {
  // Pull in Analytics Code
  $google_AnalyticsCode = $modx->putChunk(’googleAnalyticsCode’);
} 

return $google_AnalyticsCode;
?>

Hope this is helpful for you all

Great! Thank you very much for sharing!

I believe that the Google Analytics plugin in the repository already does this and also respects the log hits checkbox for pages as well.
