ContentMetrics is added to a web site by configuring a ContentMetrics (CM) server and then registering the source web site that will communicate with the CM server.
Configuring the ContentMetrics server
A ContentMetrics server (%CM-SERVER%) can be hosted on any web server that has MySQL 5+ and PHP 5+. Current available servers are:
The source web site must be registered with a user profile name (%PROFILE-NAME%) and host name (%HOST-NAME%).
Configuring the source web site
The following style sheet and two JavaScript file must be added to the <head> section of any page that will communication with the CM server:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"
href="%CM-SERVER%/style/cm.css" />
<script type="text/javascript"
src="%CM-SERVER%/javascript/prototype-1.6.0/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="%CM-SERVER%/javascript/cm.js"></script>
With these entries added, any number of regions can be added to the page. Each region will track metrics for that region and display configurable results:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="%CM-SERVER%/region_create.php?id=%PROFILE-NAME%®ion=%REGION-ID%&actions=%ACTIONS%&metrics=%METRICS%">
</script>
