MixPanel Plugin
This is a plugin that allows you to get MixPanel analytics up and running on WordPress very easily.
This plugin adds a meta box to the bottom of every page, which will allow you to mark the event of the page landing in MixPanel accordingly.
You no longer need to add the mixpanel.track() javascript snippet in your theme files.
Updated to Version 1.5.1
– Tracking code updated to latest version.
– Now you can custom label posts too.
– Event tracking code has been moved to wp_footer.php for speed improvements.
Installation
To install the plugin, either upload the .zip file using the plugin installer in your wp-admin, or
SFTP the files over to your wp-content/plugins/ directory and activate it.
Configuration Options
There are some variables that are necessary to make the plugin do it’s thing, you can set these settings under the Settings -> Mixpanel Options page
- MIXPANEL_TOKEN: This is the token for your specific project.
- MIXPANEL_DEBUG: If your site is in development mode, you can turn this on and see debug messages in your Firebug Console
- MIXPANEL_SUBDOMAIN_COOKIE: Make this true if you have MixPanel on two sites with the same token. Like blog.domain.com, app.domain.com
How does it work?
On every page in WordPress, you’ll see an option panel for MixPanel Event Label. Whatever value you put in this label, will
show up as an event in MixPanel.
@TODO
1. build some logic to do smarter tracking
