Configuring Google Analytics Dashboard Widget

I had the same issue as you guys resulting in an 'Error authenticating with Google' page. I've tried a couple of things and one at least made sure I didn't get that page anymore.

Leave the analytics_sessionToken empty and in google analytics go to account > account settings > change your account name to www.yoursite.com/manager/index.php.

Let me know if it works or not.

I recently had this error: "Couldn't connect with google analytics".

Changing the system setting 'analytics_profileId' in the analytics section and just removing the prefix "ga:" did the trick.

perhaps this helps others, too.

my modx version: 2.3.3
my dashboard extra version: analyticsdashboard-1.0.5-pl

I've tried setting this widget up.. I am able to request an auth code, and when I fill in the auth code and hit authenticate it looks as if it's authenticated as I can go to the settings and select a report to view. But in the report graphs it keeps saying "Couldn't connect with google analytics".

I've checked the system settings but those are set by the widget when I select a different report so I guess that they are being filled in correctly.

Could there be any other settings I'm missing?

I've added a screenshot with the error message and the system settings.

I couldn't get it to work so I switch over to big Brother. Works great!

As @Ralph Zelf suggested, maybe we should switch toBigBrother package instead. My google dashboard was broken since last update, and I also have to switch over too.

I've switched to Big Brother but I'm not getting that to go through after authentication.. but for that I'll go over to a different thread.

It's a shame, this plugin looks good, but I spent half a day trying to figure it out and had to give up

From version 1.0.3 (released on June 1st 2015) and newer versions the Google OAuth method has been updated, and after updating to the latest version and re-authenticating Analytics Dashboard you should be able to use it again with no problems. Do you still have the same issue after upgrading to the latest version (1.0.5)?

It works! Hoy Nellie!

Can anyone direct me to the docs for Google Analytics Dashboard Widget - how to run and configure it? I can't even see the basic snippet call, if it is a snippet?...

I have installed (v1.0.5) it but cannot see it under snippets or plugins in the Elements tree.
