Add an Active Site Analytics aggregator to a portal page

Portal administrators can use portal administration portlets to assign an aggregator to a page by editing the page properties and adding a new parameter.

1. Add the aggregator to the "js" directory in the theme directory. For example, for the portal theme, the WebDAV location is...
   mycontenthandler/dav/themelist

   Take a note of the name of the aggregator file. We need it in later steps. Go to the Analytics section of Modules provided with the modularized theme for information.

2. Open...
   Administration | Portal User Interface | Manage Pages | mypage | Page Properties

   The page must be located as a child of the portal content root. We cannot add an Active Site Analytics aggregator to the content root. Edit Page Properties is not available for the content root.

3. Click the plus sign (+) icon next to Advanced Options, then click...
   I want to set parameters

   

4. In the field New parameter, type a string that starts with either...
   • asa_aggregator
   • asa_dependency

   Values associated with asa_aggregator are added to the page body. Values corresponding to asa_dependency are added to the head. Both the aggregators and dependencies are added to the portal page in alphabetical order according to the Java method Collections.sort().

5. In the New value field, type the name of the aggregator script file.

6. Click Add.

7. Verify the new parameter is added to the list.

8. Repeat steps 6 - 9 for all aggregators and dependencies.

9. Click OK to return to the main Page Properties screen.

10. Click OK to save the changes and return to the Manage Pages screen.

What to do next

Children pages inherit the script set on the parent page. To use a different aggregator on a child page, follow the same procedure that is previously addressed for the child page to make the appropriate assignment. To block inheriting the aggregator setting from the parent page, follow the same procedure, but leave the value empty. As a result, the page has no aggregator assigned anymore and all children of the page inherit the new setting.
