CrazyEgg Integrator

This plug-in allows for the easy integration of the CrazyEgg.com tracking JavaScript into your Joomla website. No messing with the web templates, just install the plug-in, enable it and enter in your 8 digit account number from CrazyEgg and start your click tracking.

CrazyEgg is a third party application that allows you to track your users click patterns on a website and then displays that information in various visual ways. It is a great way for testing the usability of a site design or the effectiveness of layouts and content presentation.

See a demo of how CrazyEgg works.

Installation and Setup of the CrazyEgg Tracking Code in Joomla

Just install the plug-in, enable the plug-in in Joomla’s plug-in manager and add in your account number in the parameters. Hit SAVE and you’re done. Use CrazyEgg’s installation checker to make sure your tacking code is working.

Credits and Thanks

It has also been brought to our attention that this plugin wouldn’t have been possible without the work of Nicholas from dionysopoulos.me and his work with the CrazyEgg team to have the account identifiers changed to easy integration in to Joomla. You can find Nicholas’s version of the plugin from his site.
