Crazy Egg heatmaps for Django projects.
Project description
The django-crazyegg application integrate Crazy Egg heatmaps into a Django project.
Overview
Crazy Egg is an easy to use hosted web application that generates heatmaps from webpage visitor clicks. It allows you to discover the areas of web pages that are most important to your visitors. This Django application provides a template tag that make integration of Crazy Egg very simple.
Installation and configuration
To install django-crazyegg, simply place the django_crazyegg package somewhere on the Python path. The application is configured in the project settings.py file. In order to use the template tag, the django_crazyegg package must be present in the INSTALLED_APPS list:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django_crazyegg',
...
]
You set your Crazy Egg account number in the CRAZYEGG_ACCOUNT_NUMBER setting:
CRAZYEGG_ACCOUNT_NUMBER = '12345678'
That’s it!
Usage
In your template, load the django-crazyegg template tag by adding {% load crazyegg %} at the top of the template. Then use the track_crazyegg tag to insert the Javascript code. The Crazy Egg web pages recommend adding the code directly before the closing </body> HTML tag, but the code added by this tag is designed not to hold up loading the page. You can safely add it to the head of the HTML document:
<head>
...
{% track_crazyegg %}
...
</head>
Even if you only track clicks on a specific page, you can still insert the tag in your base template. Crazy Egg will only install the Javascript event handler on a URL that you have created a snapshot for.
