  • Hide Google Analytics when Logged into WordPress

    Hide Google Analytics when Logged into WordPress

    Another quick but helpful tip. Most sites use Google Analytics to track visits, pageviews and overall traffic but if you are constantly updating a site you can end up wildly skewing your analytics with constant refreshes. To avoid this, you can go into Google Analytics and add an IP Filter:


    However this doesn’t help much if your updating from different coffee shops, or cities for that matter, on a regular basis. For an easy fix use WordPress “if user logged in” function.

    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    //Also a good place to add scripts specific to logged in users.
    } else {
    //script code
    var _gaq = _gaq || [];
    _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxx-x']);
    _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
    _gaq.push(['_trackPageLoadTime']);

    (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
    })();
    //script code
    }

    Now, no matter where, if you are logged in your constant reloads won’t affect your analytics.

  • Dynamically generated HTML5 manifests

    Dynamically generated HTML5 manifests

    In the specification for HTML5 several methods for storing data locally are outlined including localStorage and manifests. While building out the offline storage for Animatic Builder, I attempted to keep the stored data dead simple; as in the case of the shot information which is stored as one long JSON string. In this way the shot data can be pulled into any other use by reading the string. Keeping the images stored proved more difficult due to the number, potentially hundreds, and their format as many separate files. As well as making sure the storage is universal on mobile and full client systems. (more…)
