Filter by page url (path) for [google_analytics_views]

In addition, i have tested my google analytics query with this awesome tool:
https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/query-explorer/

in this tool, with those filters i get some results (i have changed my GA account ID in the example) :

https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%123456798&start-date=30daysAgo&end-date=yesterday&metrics=ga%3Apageviews&dimensions=ga%3ApagePathLevel2

when i convert it to use it with your filters ‘modify_gtc_views_shortcode_ga_filters_param()’ i have this:

$filters = 'ids=ga:123456798&start-date=30daysAgo&end-date=yesterday&metrics=ga:3Apageviews&dimensions=ga:3ApagePathLevel2';

Ok? But the filter doesn’t work… any idea?

Where do you define this filter ‘gtc_analytics_top_content_shortcode_request_params’ ?
This filter seems to work, i would like the same filter for ‘google_analytics_views’ shortcode. it looks like there are other params which generates 0 results when i apply only one filter (ga:pagePath=~/membres/*’;)
thank for your help !

to compare, this works:

function gtc_modify_request_metric( $params ) {
  
  $params['dimensions'] = 'ga:pageTitle,ga:pagePathLevel2'; // 2nd level page
  $custom_filters = 'ga:pagePath=~/membres/*';
  $params['filters'] = urlencode( $custom_filters );
 
  return $params;
}
add_filter( 'gtc_analytics_top_content_shortcode_request_params', 'gtc_modify_request_metric' );

this does not works (only the add_filter change):

function gtc_modify_request_metric( $params ) {
  
  $params['dimensions'] = 'ga:pageTitle,ga:pagePathLevel2'; // 2nd level page
  $custom_filters = 'ga:pagePath=~/membres/*';
  $params['filters'] = urlencode( $custom_filters );
 
  return $params;
}

add_filter( 'gtc_views_shortcode_ga_filters_param', 'gtc_modify_request_metric' );

Thanks again if you have a clue 😉

Thanks Justin,
I have been trying do accomplish this during 6 hours without luck.
I think [google_analytics_views] shortcodes use the current page url to generate the results. Are you able to make this filter (gtc_modify_request_metric) working on your sandbox (if you change ‘membres’ slug with another slug you use on your site ?
My question is: With this shortcode, can i display on “Page A” the number of GA views of page “B” ? do we have to modify ‘$link_uri ‘ founded in plugin class in function views_shortcode() ? Please help.

Justin,
I have found the solution, but i had to replace a line in your plugin.
Your method to retrieve current permalink is not ‘universal’ because it doesn’t work with content like buddypress profile or group page (they are not CPT).
So, in class-ga-top-content, around the line #545, replace :

$permalink = get_permalink( $atts['post_id'] ); // original method

with this :

/*
Get current page URL in WordPress
for Buddypress compatibility
With this method, It doesn’t matter if you need it on single post, page, home, 
category, tag, Buddypress user profile, group, custom post type or any other WordPress template.
*/
global $wp;
$permalink = home_url(add_query_arg(array(),$wp->request));
/*
end custom code
*/

now it works!
I will post an issue on your Github repo

Thanks again, hope you will update your plugin soon or add a apply_filter to manipulate the current url.

regards,
