ica commented...and the functions file
Comment #2
buddaIt's also missing the file 'lib.googleanalytics.php'. Interesting idea. Looks like it goes off and scrapes Google Analytics for the data?
I think working on the WordPress plugin (http://tantannoodles.com/toolkit/wordpress-reports/) would be a good start.
At present I have no desire to add this feature. However if somebody wants to put together a patch to add it, or sponsor the development work needed to get this in - leave a comment.
Comment #3
desm0n commentedI'd certainly be interested in this also, would make a fantastic addition to my site.
Any progress on this ?
Comment #4
buddaNo progress for me.
Comment #5
hass commentedHowever this looks very interesting to me - i think we shouldn't implement something that is Apple specific. Until there is no code that is platform independed we are not going to add this feature to GA.

ica commentedHi, the code above is taken strait from the mac desktop widget for closer viewing into how the code works, not necessarily hacking to Drupal module.
I did not mean it could be hacked (maybe it could, i am not a PHP coder i have to mention).
I just though the feature could be part of them Drupal google_analytics.module to display the site metrics using/wrapping Google Analytics in graphical format as below within a Drupal site

etc.
screen shots above shows how the stats looks on the mac dash widget in chunks
maybe i should show this as a more familiar representation to all

For a PHP example you can check CakePHP implementation of the Google Analytics API

hass commentedYep, i thought about reusing the code from the project you linked to. It looks really interesting feature, but someone else should jump in and create a patch for this feature. I'm using GA at google and don't like to duplicate a GA frontend that changes very often... this becomes an endless task :-(
Comment #8
boris mann commentedSpecific features are interesting. I'm attaching the incoming links block that is on the Wordpress dashboard. This is technically Google Blogsearch, but I think it's a good fit for GA module.
