Blog moved to Blogofile - add Google Analytics

As a continuation from my last post, listed below are the other two changes that I have applied to my setup.

Vaporfile fix

As you would know, I am using Amazon S3 for this blog. I also use the excellent vaporfile script. After updating the second post yesterday, I found a bug with the script. After it updates an existing file (after matching the checksums), vaporfile fails to set the permission correctly. This results in index.html to have incorrect access permission and you end up getting AccessDenied from Amazon when you try to access your blog.

After around 20 minutes of investigation, I found the error and the patch is available at my fork of the project.

Addition of Google Analytics

Apart from Disqus, I believe Google Analytics is probably the next feature that almost everybody uses. I plan to submit this patch to Blogofile in coming days but you just need to add the following to _config.py:

### Google analytics integration
blog.analytics.enabled = True
#### enter your 'web property id' here
blog.analytics.id    = "UA-XXXXXX-6"

and to footer.mako:

    ### Google analytics integration
    blog.analytics.enabled = True
    #### enter your 'web property id' here
    blog.analytics.id    = "UA-XXXXXX-6"

and to footer.mako:

    % if bf.config.blog.analytics.enabled:
    <script type="text/javascript">

      var _gaq = _gaq || [];
      _gaq.push(['_setAccount', '${bf.config.blog.analytics.id}']);
      _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

      (function() {
        var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
        ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
        var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
      })();

    </script>
    % endif
