    Default Google analytics plugin

    Hi,
    I'm having great success with the google analytics plugin - but got one little problem.

    According to the docs I can use e.g.:

    ga:goal(1)Completions

    https://developers.google.com/analyt...(n)Completions

    To get the completions of that goal. However when i try that in PDI I get:

    Code:
    Google Service Error
    
    
    Invalid value for metrics parameter: ga:visits,ga:goalCompletionsAll,ga:goal(1)Completions
    So; Am I doing the right thing? Is this something to do with the ()'s not being escaped or something perhaps?

    Other than that, it's astoundingly simple to use - rock on Slawo

    Thanks,
    Dan

    PS: read something online about goals being tied to the account or something, not sure if that matters..

    Hey codek,

    Tried your query at the query explorer? http://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/explorer/

    If it works there but gives an error on the GA plugin, we would likely have to upgrade the libs or some such.

    Cheers

    I'll try that tomorrow Slawo and let you know. If it is the libs I'll check whether it's a straight drop in and replace. ( Unless you already know otherwise!)
    didnt see you in IRC yesterday, hiding?

    Slawo - thanks for the link to that tool - it helped me explore a bit easier and I found the problem
    it should be goal1Completions without the ()'s!

    I guess the GA guys want to minimize potential url encoding issues or something
