 Description   

The 'init-gatracker.js' relies on the old processed resources.
It plugs itself into the former STK theme:
https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS53/Google+Analytics+module?preview=/105684977/105684981/javascripts.png
(Also MGNLGA-19)

This does not really match the Magnolia 5.4 and 5.5 world, especially not the Light Development world.
The old processed resources are:

  • deprecated
  • cumbersome to use
  • very confusing when knowing the new resource loading
  • contradicting the light development

The PM & PD has stated, that the 'the old processed resources' are not needed in the new world.
So it would be nice to proof it with a proper solution not using it, but using the possibilities of 5.4 & 5.5. Its easy to say its not needed, but then rolling out a jar that relies on it as we don't have a better current solution...

Hi, I am trying to use this module on a Magnolia 5.5 website and am now forced to load the javascript files using the old resources loader (which is not very nice).

Also please update documentation on how to include this in your project source code.

Thanks!
Martijn
