ABOUT

This plugin adds the Google Analytics Javascript snippet
To each Moodle page in the page footer and modifies the page information being tracked:

Instead of sending URL's like

http://www.mymoodlesite.org/course/view.php?id=5
http://www.mymoodlesite.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=80

It sends URL's that are easy to read and recognize like:

http://www.mymoodlesite.org/CategoryA/sourcialcourse/Topic+1/myresource
http://www.mymoodlesite.org/Category1/introcourse/Topic+3/open+forum/Forum
