How do you exclude directories from google analytics?

what do you mean exactly? can you give an example what your use case is looking like?

I have a similar need. Not sure about @AlexCppns's situation, but I want to track only the public-facing pages of my app, and not necessarily the pages in my admin area. Anyway to disable tracking for certain actions?

[AlexCppns]

@kangguru I don't want it to be initialized in /admin for instance. For now I am using another gem that lets me insert the js only in the layouts I want.

[kangguru]

alright i see. thats pretty much the same as @iamjohnellis describes. Currently there isn't such option, but i can imagine thats a use case for even more people. so we might add something like that in the future.

what gem are you using atm?

[AlexCppns]

@kangguru We re using google-analytics-rails right now. It's not in production yet though, we haven't tested it.

I agree that it would be really useful !

Pull request #38 works fine for that:

if: lambda { |env| env['PATH_INFO'] !~ %r{/admin} }

[mhuggins]

+1, looks like #38 has been sitting around for over a year with no feedback from the maintainer. Not sure if this gem is still kept up to date or I should use an alternative.

[kangguru]

please consider Rack::Tracker as an alternative, which is the successor of this Gem
