Configuration

The following settings can be configured in the TYPO3 Extension Manager under Admin Tools → Settings → Extension Configuration → analytics.

They can also be set programmatically in config/system/additional.php:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTENSIONS']['analytics']['settingName'] = 'value';

Name	Type	Default
dashboardPeriods	string	`7,14,30`
dashboardDefaultPeriod	int	`7`
pageAnalyticsCacheTtl	int	`3600`
demoData	bool	`0`

dashboardPeriods

Type: string
Default: 7,14,30

Comma-separated list of period options (in days) available in all dashboard widget dropdowns and the Page Performance Bar. Must be positive integers.

dashboardDefaultPeriod

Type: int
Default: 7

Pre-selected period (in days) for all dashboard widgets and the Page Performance Bar. Must be one of the values defined in dashboardPeriods.

pageAnalyticsCacheTtl

Type: int
Default: 3600

Lifetime in seconds for all analytics data caches (page metrics, top pages, site performance, traffic graph, traffic sources, and plans). Increase this value to reduce API calls on high-traffic backend installations.

demoData

Type: bool
Default: 0

When enabled, replaces all analytics API calls with static demo data. Only takes effect in the TYPO3 Development application context. Use this to explore the widgets and module without a live analytics account.

Dashboard settings

Example — custom period options:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTENSIONS']['analytics']['dashboardPeriods'] = '7,30,90';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTENSIONS']['analytics']['dashboardDefaultPeriod'] = 30;

Cache settings

Example — longer cache lifetime:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTENSIONS']['analytics']['pageAnalyticsCacheTtl'] = 7200;

Development settings

Example — enable demo data:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTENSIONS']['analytics']['demoData'] = true;
