I searched a lot about this issue but I can't find anything good. I think that this is a common problem: you have a web app and build JSON APIs on top of your platform, so you can develop some widgets, mobile apps or third party applications. I know that there a are a lot of specific analytics services via API (like Mixpanel, Kissmetrics and many others) but I want to track all the JSON calls also via Google Analytics. I found that the best method is to use the __utm.gif image but strangely I cannot find any plugin or gem to use this image. So I tried to build my own method without success (see the code below)... Someone can help? <pre><code>def google_analytics_call(page_title) today = Time.now.to_i utma = cookies[:__utma].to_s utmb = cookies[:__utmb].to_s utmc = cookies[:__utmc].to_s utmz = cookies[:__utmz].to_s utma = (rand(8).to_s + "." + rand(10).to_s + "." + today.to_s + "." + today.to_s+ "." + today.to_s) unless cookies[:__utma] utmb = rand(8).to_s unless cookies[:__utmb] utmc = rand(8).to_s unless cookies[:__utmc] utmz = rand(8).to_s+ "." + today + ".2.2.utmccn%3D(direct)%7Cutmcsr%3D(direct)%7Cutmcmd%3D(none)" unless cookies[:__utmz] Thread.new do params = { :utmac => GOOGLE_ANALYTICS, :utmcc => "__utma%3D"+utma+"%3B%2B"+"__utmb%3D"+utmb+"%3B%2B"+"__utmc%3D"+utmc+"%3B%2B"+"__utmz%3D"+utmz+"%3B%2B", :utmcn => "1", :utmcs => "-", :utmdt => page_title, #page title :utmhn => BASE_URL, :utmwv => 1, :utmt => "page", :utmr => request.referer } puts params http_get("www.google-analytics.com", "/__utm.gif", params) end end </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
