The GoogleTagManagerBundle provides you an easy-to-use method to integrate the Google Tag Manager into your Symfony 2 application.

Note: This Bundle is still in development. Feel free to report encountered issues!

Requirements

2.x

  • PHP 5.3 and higher
  • Symfony 2.8 and higher

3.x

  • PHP 5.6 and higher
  • Symfony 2.8 and higher

Install

Step 1: Download the Bundle

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

2.x

$ composer require xynnn/google-tag-manager-bundle "~2.0"

3.x

$ composer require xynnn/google-tag-manager-bundle "~3.0"

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding the following line in the app/AppKernel.php file of your project:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...

            new Xynnn\GoogleTagManagerBundle\GoogleTagManagerBundle(),
        );

        // ...
    }

    // ...
}

Step 3: Enable Google Tag Manager

Add the configuration to your yaml file. Please don't forget to adjust your Google Tag Manager Id.

Step 4: Insert the ViewHelper

Insert the ViewHelper into your layout file to enable the Google Tag Manager. Please be aware to insert into right after the HTML body tag!

<body>
{{ google_tag_manager_body() }}
...
</body>

And right after the HTML head tag:

<head>
{{ google_tag_manager_head() }}
...
</head>

And right before the closing BODY tag:

{{ google_tag_manager_body_end() }}
</body>

Or use the autoAppend setting to let a kernel reponse listener add them to your layout automatically.

Step 5: Fill up the DataLayer from Google Tag Manager (Optional)

If you want to send some information to the Google Tag Manager, you can use the dataLayer.

/** @var GoogleTagManagerInterface $manager */
$manager = $this->get('google_tag_manager');
$manager->setData('example', 'value');

And if you want to add pushes at the end of the body (not in initial dataLayer):

/** @var GoogleTagManagerInterface $manager */
$manager = $this->get('google_tag_manager');
$manager->addPush(['test' => 123);

Configuration

google_tag_manager:
    enabled: true
    id: "GTM-XXXXXX"
    autoAppend: true|false

An optional paramater called additionalParamaters allows specifying URL parameters to add on to the tag manager URLs. This can be used to support custom environments in tag manager.

google_tag_manager:
    additionalParameters: gtm_auth=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&gtm_preview=env-30&gtm_cookies_win=x
