Answer

For PatterSkin: create a new javascript.*.tmpl file in /templates, for instance javascript.analytics.tmpl.

In that file, write:

%TMPL:INCLUDE{"javascript.pattern"}%

%TMPL:DEF{"twikijavascript"}%<script type="text/javascript" src="%PUBURLPATH%/%TWIKIWEB%/TWikiJavascripts/twiki.js"></script>
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
_uacct = "your-code";
urchinTracker();
// ]]>
</script>
%TMPL:END%

In your Main.TWikiPreferences (not TWiki.TWikiPreferences), set:

    *Set SKIN = analytics,pattern

This is from the top of my head and untested. Let me know if you succeed.

That seems to work allright... although there is also a GoogleAnalyticsPlugin plugin, which more or less does the same thing.

Apparently, this has changed in 4.2? There is no "javascript.pattern" to INCLUDE in the template file. Following these instructions have no apparent impact on our TWiki (the script does not get added to the source of the pages). Can anyone point me in the right direction?
