[Resolved] Dashboard Widget Bug on Multisite Settings

Hi Guys,

First of all, thanks for the plugin! It really cool and simple to use. However, there’s this glitch tho:

1. I manage a Multisite installation
2. Widget dashboard was displayed perfectly on the main site
3. Widget dashboard failed to be displayed on the sub-site

The only clue I found:

1. There’s this “datelabel” undefined message at the chrome console
2. I checked the network tab of the inspector, it showed that the content was successfully fetched from wp_ajax
3. I checked the screen option, there’s no “Google Analytics Summary” checkbox

After checking the source code, here’s the conclusion and the fix:

1. Google Analyticator checks which role that can see dashboard widget (google-analytics-summary-widget.php:44. Permission for the role can be configured from /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=google-analyticator.php The glitch is that in situation where super admin accessing sub-site, the super admin isn’t registered for the site but has access to it.
2. The inline js (google-analytics-summary-widget.php:66) part doesn’t check for the user role
3. The inline js fetches for the content while there’s no widget for that, hence the datelabel undefined state

The solution:

1. Check for the super admin capabilities before using Google Analyticator’s get dashboard check
2. Applied the same conditional to the inline js part.

Here’s how i did it, applied at google-analytics-summary-widget.php on line 44:

if ( current_user_can( 'manage_network' ) || ga_current_user_is(get_option(key_ga_dashboard_role))) {

and with slightly different approach on line 66 / addTopJs():

if( !current_user_can( 'manage_network' ) && !ga_current_user_is( get_option( key_ga_dashboard_role ) ) ) {
            return;
}
