The base Google Analytics module has an admin interface for defining custom dimentions and metrics to send with pageviews. (See screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/A22hvuX.png), but these dimensions and metrics are not respected/sent by default by the utmp-php push method.
ga_push_method_utmp_php_request() should be patched to send any defined dimensions and metrics by default:
(See googleanalytics_page_alter() in googleanalytics.module)
// PATCH: Add custom dimensions and metrics as defined in Google Analytics base module admin interface.
// See googleanalytics_page_alter().
$custom_var = '';
foreach (array('dimension', 'metric') as $googleanalytics_custom_type) {
$googleanalytics_custom_vars = variable_get('googleanalytics_custom_' . $googleanalytics_custom_type, array());
// Are there dimensions or metrics configured?
if (!empty($googleanalytics_custom_vars)) {
// Add all the configured variables to the content.
foreach ($googleanalytics_custom_vars as $googleanalytics_custom_var) {
// Replace tokens in values.
$types = array();
$node = menu_get_object();
if (is_object($node)) {
$types += array('node' => $node);
}
$googleanalytics_custom_var['value'] = token_replace($googleanalytics_custom_var['value'], $types, array('clear' => TRUE));
// Suppress empty values.
if (!drupal_strlen(trim($googleanalytics_custom_var['value']))) {
continue;
}
// Per documentation the max length of a dimension is 150 bytes.
// A metric has no length limitation. It's not documented if this
// limit means 150 bytes after url encoding or before.
// See https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/field-reference#customs
if ($googleanalytics_custom_type == 'dimension' && drupal_strlen($googleanalytics_custom_var['value']) > 150) {
$googleanalytics_custom_var['value'] = substr($googleanalytics_custom_var['value'], 0, 150);
}
// Cast metric values to data type numeric.
if ($googleanalytics_custom_type == 'metric') {
settype($googleanalytics_custom_var['value'], 'float');
};
// Add values to request,
if ($googleanalytics_custom_type == 'dimension') {
$custom_index = 'cd' . $googleanalytics_custom_var['index'];
}
elseif ($googleanalytics_custom_type == 'metric') {
$custom_index = 'cm' . $googleanalytics_custom_var['index'];
}
// Respect any overrides already sent with $data.
if (!isset($data[$custom_index])) {
$data[$custom_index] = $googleanalytics_custom_var['value'];
}
}
}
}
