google analytics data for only author of post WordPress

  • SOLVED

hi, i have a multi-author blog where user from front end can submit a post, now i want display a google analytics data for only owners-author of post on the front end of website,

i have found 2 plugin that display analytics data of single post on front end

- https://wordpress.org/plugins/wd-google-analytics/

- https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp/ ( i asked to the author of this plugin if i can do this, and the answer is yes but require a customization with action hook)


but , both display the analytics data to all user and not only author of post.

now i want ask if already exist a plugin to do this , or if possible create a snippet to restrict the plugin mentioned.

Hello markus88, this code will hide to non-administrator users the google analytics stats link, administrator users can see all.
add all this to your functions.php


if ( ! class_exists( 'GADWP_Backend_Item_Reports' ) ) {
final class GADWP_Backend_Item_Reports {
private $gadwp;
public function __construct() {
$this->gadwp = GADWP();

if ( GADWP_Tools::check_roles( $this->gadwp->config->options['ga_dash_access_back'] ) && 1 == $this->gadwp->config->options['backend_item_reports'] ) {
// Add custom column in Posts List
add_filter( 'manage_posts_columns', array( $this, 'add_columns' ) );

// Populate custom column in Posts List
add_action( 'manage_posts_custom_column', array( $this, 'add_icons' ), 10, 2 );

// Add custom column in Pages List
add_filter( 'manage_pages_columns', array( $this, 'add_columns' ) );

// Populate custom column in Pages List
add_action( 'manage_pages_custom_column', array( $this, 'add_icons' ), 10, 2 );
}
}

public function add_icons( $column, $id ) {
global $wp_version;
$current_user=get_currentuserinfo();
$post_author = get_post_field( 'post_author', $id );
$userdata = wp_get_current_user();

if ( $column != 'gadwp_stats' ) {
return;
}

if ( $post_author==$current_user->ID OR in_array( 'administrator', (array) $userdata->roles )) {
if ( version_compare( $wp_version, '3.8.0', '>=' ) ) {
echo '<a id="gadwp-' . $id . '" title="' . get_the_title( $id ) . '" href="#' . $id . '" class="gadwp-icon dashicons-before dashicons-chart-area"></a>';
} else {
echo '<a id="gadwp-' . $id . '" title="' . get_the_title( $id ) . '" href="#' . $id . '"><img class="gadwp-icon-oldwp" src="' . GADWP_URL . 'admin/images/gadash-icon.png"</a>';
}
}

}

public function add_columns( $columns ) {
return array_merge( $columns, array( 'gadwp_stats' => __( 'Analytics', 'google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp' ) ) );
}
}
}


if ( ! class_exists( 'GADWP_Frontend_Item_Reports' ) ) {

final class GADWP_Frontend_Item_Reports {

private $gadwp;

public function __construct() {
$this->gadwp = GADWP();

add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', array( $this, 'custom_adminbar_node' ), 999 );
}

function custom_adminbar_node( $wp_admin_bar ) {
if ( GADWP_Tools::check_roles( $this->gadwp->config->options['ga_dash_access_front'] ) && $this->gadwp->config->options['frontend_item_reports'] ) {
/* @formatter:off */
$args = array( 'id' => 'gadwp-1',
'title' => '<span class="ab-icon"></span><span class="">' . __( "Analytics", 'google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp' ) . '</span>',
'href' => '#1',
);
/* @formatter:on */
global $post;
$current_user=get_currentuserinfo();
$userdata = wp_get_current_user();
$post_author = get_post_field( 'post_author', $post->ID );
if ( $post_author==$current_user->ID OR in_array( 'administrator', (array) $userdata->roles )) {
$wp_admin_bar->add_node( $args );
}
}
}
}
}

hi, thanks for reply, i have 2 problem with your code:

1) the homepage are displayed to all user
2) my standard user-author have role "subscriber" with this role never analytics data are displayed, this because then plugin display the data from role "Contributor"

thanks

where do you show the icon to display the analytics?
the plugin only allow in the post list admin or in the admin topbar


markus88 comments:

hi, yes the plugin display the button on topbar but only from role "contributor", I wish it were viewed through a snippet or any shortcode in single.php template

hi, thanks for reply

i have already read this post, but this guide don't solve my problem, the mentioned plugin already have a option to view the data of the single post separated , but these data are displayed to all users, while I would like them to display only to the owners-author of the post
