I can't get analytics to work

[unapologeticaf]

I am trying to add Umami analytics to my Quartz setup, but it's not hooking up correctly. I tried to put my IDs and URLs in different formats, with <>, without, with http, https, without... Umami is not picking it up.

I'm not tech savvy enough to properly fill-in this bug report, but I have a feeling it might be because Umami doesn't support github pages URLs like https://unapologeticaf.github.io/digital-garden/?

If so of course this is not a bug report 😅

Try using the same URL as your baseUrl.

Try using the same URL as your baseUrl.

I'm not sure what you mean, sorry :( but thanks for answering. So, here's my Quartz setup:

analytics: { provider: 'umami', host: 'unapologeticaf.github.io', websiteId: 'xxxxxxxx' }

and this is what I have in Umami:

I can't put that full URL in Umami tho, no forward slashes nor https in that textbox

Your URL isn't unapologeticaf.github.io. It is unapologeticaf.github.io/digital-garden

Your URL isn't unapologeticaf.github.io. It is unapologeticaf.github.io/digital-garden

I can put it into the Quartz config, but I can put it that way on Umami.. do I need a custom domain?

Hold on, based on the docs, shouldn't your Umami URL point to your Umami hosting? Not your Quartz site.

by "Umami URL" you mean the URL in the Quartz config? if I'm just using Umami from their free tier, what would my hosting be? I'm not self-hosting

[saberzero1]

host in your Quartz settings should point to where Umami sends its data. I suspect Umami gave you a link that looks something like this: *.umami.is/*

Hey Guys,
I am also facing the same issue. I am trying to add google analytics but it's not getting parsed and added to compiled HTML source code.

Can you fix your baseUrl and try again?

[sudo0x18]

I have fixed the baseUrl and added Complete URL but still it is not working.

That is not the correct baseUrl.

Assuming you have no custom domain and are using GitHub Pages, it should be <username>.githib.io/<project-name>.

See:

• https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/configuration#:~:text=This%20should%20also%20include%20the%20subpath

Hi, I believe that when you finished setting umami, umami would give a html tag like this:

<script defer src="https://cloud.umami.is/script.js" data-website-id="xxxxx"></script>

You could get this in the Tracking code, the link will be https://cloud.umami.is/settings/websites/

Then, you should set the analytics in quartz.config.ts like this:

  analytics: {
    provider: "umami",
    websiteId: "xxxxxx",
    host: "https://cloud.umami.is/script.js"
  },

The baseURL should be unapologeticaf.github.io/digital-garden.

Hope this helps.

I will close given that it seems like a user setup problem.
