KISSMetrics is a paid SAAS analytics product designed to track event occurring in your application. This extension wraps around their open-source PHP library and makes it a little easier to use with Yii.

Requirements ¶

• Yii 1.1.12+
• An account with KISSMetrics

Usage ¶

1. Place the metrics folder into your extensions.
2. Add the following to your components block in your config file.

'metrics' => array(
    'class' => 'ext.metrics.Metrics',
    'enabled' => true,
    'key' => "", // secret key for your KISSmetrics account
    'log_dir' => dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'../runtime/',
    'to_stderr' => true,
    'use_cron' => false,
),

1. To record an event, simply call Yii::app()->metrics->record(...) as you would KM::record(...), but with an additional optional parameter for your user identity flag.

Yii::app()->metrics->record('myEventId', array(
    'myEventKey1' => 'myEventValue1',
    'myEventKey2' => 'myEventValue2',
    ...
));
