Warning

ARCHIVED in Q1 2024
Since Goat counter still uses a token → cookie → redirect strategy, it's nearly impossible to reliably embed even a public stats page via <iframe>. This plugin is thus archived.

Kirby Goat Counter

Simple plugin providing goat counter iframe panel view to kirby panel and a simple frontend snippet.

Instalation

composer require adamkiss/kirby-goat-counter or download from releases

How to use

1. Set the "dashboard viewawble by" to "Logged in users or with secret token"
2. Set adamkiss.goat-counter.site-name to your goat counter site name ([site-name].goatcounter.com)
3. Set adamkiss.goat-counter.token to the token for the dashboard availability

config.php example

'adamkiss.goat-counter' => [
	'site-name' => 'my-site', // my-site.goatcounter.com
	'token' => '3b43e4q4g465z2y4j6n313i6v5l6r703o3n144d' // token you can get at https://[site-name].goatcounter.com/settings/main
];

Frontend snippet to be placed in your HTML. Automatically disabled in the debug mode.

<?php snippet('goat-counter'); ?>

FAQ: It doesn't work, the panel shows "You need to log in" screen

This is the result of how Goat Counter uses the access token. It creates a cookie and then refreshes the UI. The result is, that if you have cross-site tracking prevention enabled, the [site].goatcounter.com will not see the "access-token" cookie and won't show the analytics. Create an exception for your domain to see the analytics.
