WayFathomAnalytics - Fathom Analytics dashboard in your admin panel

[Craig]

I've been using Fathom Analytics for a while now and on a growing number of sites, so thought it was about time there was a PW module for it.

WayFathomAnalytics

WayFathomAnalytics is a group of modules which will allow you to view your Fathom Analytics dashboard in the PW admin panel and (optionally) automatically add and configure the tracking code on front-end pages.

What is Fathom Analytics?

Fathom Analytics is a simple, privacy-focused website analytics tool for bloggers and businesses.

Stop scrolling through pages of reports and collecting gobs of personal data about your visitors, both of which you probably don't need. Fathom is a simple and private website analytics platform that lets you focus on what's important: your business.

• Privacy focused
• Fast-loading dashboards, all data is on a single screen
• Easy to get what you need, no training required
• Unlimited email reports
• Private or public dashboard sharing
• Cookie notices not required (it doesn't use cookies or collect personal data)
• Displays: top content, top referrers, top goals and more

I am a huge Fathom fan myself and I was happy when I read that a module exists.
But I hate it when I am the first to complain...

After the the module install I get the following screen:

I am unable to configure the module ?
What can I do?

PW 3.0.123 | PHP 7.3.18

Thanks for checking it out & reporting the error details Klenkes! Not sure why that is yet but I'll try and re-create and fix. Bear with me :) 

[Craig]

Hi @Klenkes - it's because the modue is using InputfieldToggle, which only arrived in PW 3.0.139 - sorry!

Feel free to update your site to .139 or later if you're able or want to, but I'll update the code to use checkboxes when the toggle input isn't available.

[Klenkes]

Yep! That's it! Thanks.
Or you should add this to the system requirements.

[Craig]

No problem! I'll try to work around the lack of Toggle inputfield (rather than make it required), just so it's usable on more versions of PW :) 

[Craig]

@Klenkes I've updated the module to version 0.0.2 now which uses InputfieldRadios when InputfieldToggle isn't available. Please give it a go and let me know if that's solved it for you!

[Klenkes]

Tested 0.0.2 on 2 sites with ProcessWire < 3.0.139(no toggle) and it works like a charm!

[Craig]

Thanks, that's brilliant! :)

Hi all,

I was installing the module and this message apperared:

Quote

Deprecated: Non-static method ProcessWire\WayFathomAnalytics::getEmbedConfig() should not be called statically in /var/www/processwire/site/modules/WayFathomAnalytics/WayFathomAnalytics.module.php on line 76

PW: 3.0.165

Is this bad? I am not that of a pro in php and I don't want to mess things up.

Best,

Marcel

Hi Marcel!

I think this is a small mistake in the module code. I'll release an update soon, but for now, you can change it manually as follows:

In WayFathomAnalytics.module.php, at line 150, change it to this:

private static function getEmbedConfig(array $data)

(add the word 'static' after private).

[Klenkes]

@Craig The dashboard doesn't work anymore ?

I think due to security changes in browsers they refuse to show the Iframe, at least Chrome and Firefox.

This is what shows in the console:

Refused to display 'https://app.usefathom.com/' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'.

This message can be ignored if everything is working, or you can set the warningTimeout option to a higher value or zero to suppress this warning.

 

[Craig]

Hi @Klenkes, thanks for letting me know!

I'll have a look.

[Klenkes]

mhh... it works again...

Something Fathom did?

[Klenkes]

@CraigHave you noticed recently that Fathom inserts a warning banner if Fathom is embedded via your module? And the iframe is cut off at the bottom.

Screenshot:

I couldn't figure out what to do.

[Klenkes]

The warning banner seems to be gone now.
The cut off iframe results from iframeSizer.contentWindow.min.js not being loaded by Fathom.

I hope they are aware and working on it.

[Klenkes]

Hi @Craig On PHP 8.1 and 8.2 the module throws a fatal error (at least with 3 different hosters) after install:

In short:

Fatal Error: Uncaught Error: Non-static method WayFathomAnalytics::getEmbedConfig() cannot be called statically in /site/modules/WayFathomAnalytics/WayFathomAnalytics.module.php:76 

EDIT:
removing static from the function seems to work (line 61 in WayFathomAnalytics.module.php)
But I don't know enough about PHP functions ...

[Craig]

Hi @Klenkes, sorry for the issue.

I've just published a new version which should fix it. Please give that a go and let me know if it's worked.

[Klenkes]

Hi @CraigThank you very much! Seems to work fine now.
