Clicktale is a project mainly written in Ruby, based on the MIT license.

clicktale.com rails integration plugin

= clicktale

== Summary

This plugin allows easy integration with Clicktale service (http://clicktale.com) Clicktale records user sessions, clicks, form input etc and plays them back later for usability review.

== Installation

  • install the plugin

./script/plugin install git://github.com/astrails/clicktale.git

  • head to http://clicktale.net and signup for a free account. Or not free. Your choice.

  • get a tracking code from clicktale. It should look something like this:

  • replace , and in the autogenerated config/clicktale.yml with values from clicktale tracking code.

  • add partials into layout inside the 'body' tag

    <%= clicktale_top %> ... <%= yield %> ... <%= clicktale_bottom %>

Note: The plugin works by leveraging rails caching mechanism, which is by default only enabled in production environment. To enable the plugin in the development environment do the following:

* set enabled=true in config/clicktale.yml (development section)
* set config.action_controller.perform_caching=true in config/environments/development.rb

Another Note: As of this writing, clicktale service ignores existance of Safari browser. I hope it will someday.
