Drupal is an open-source platform for building websites. If your website is built using Drupal, you can use VWO’s Drupal plug-in to install the SmartCode on your website automatically in a few simple steps.
Installing VWO’s Drupal Plug-in
Installing the Drupal plug-in can be done in the following ways:
Using Composer (Valid for Drupal 8 and above)
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. It helps to keep a tab of all the plug-ins and the third-party libraries that you have used for your website. If you’re using Composer, you can install VWO’s Drupal plug-in by performing the following steps:
- Run the following command on your server:
-
composer require 'drupal/vwo:^<version number>'
NOTE: Supply the version number in the <version number> placeholder before running the code. - Login to Drupal’s admin panel and navigate to the Modules section.
-
Select the checkbox corresponding to the VWO module and click Install. The VWO module will now be installed.
Using Zip File
If you’re not using Composer to install the plug-ins for your website, you can download the appropriate zip file of the plug-in and install it manually by performing the following steps:
For Drupal 7:
1. Login to Drupal’s admin panel and navigate to the Modules section.
2. Click Install new module.
3. Click here to download the plug-in and upload it. On the next page, upload VWO’s Drupal plug-in zip file that you downloaded earlier and click Install.
4. Once the plug-in is installed, you will see the successful installation message. On this page, click Enable newly added modules.
5. Select the checkbox corresponding to the VWO module and click Save configuration. The VWO module will now be installed.
For Drupal 8 and Above
-
For Drupal 8 and above, click here to download the plug-in. Login to Drupal’s admin panel and navigate to Manage > Extend, and click Add new module.
-
On the Add new module page, upload VWO’s Drupal plug-in zip file that you downloaded earlier and click Continue.
-
Once the plug-in is uploaded, you will see the successful installation message. On this page, click Enable newly added modules.
-
Select the checkbox corresponding to the VWO module and click Install. The VWO module will now be installed.
Configuring Drupal
Once you have installed the Drupal plug-in, you need to configure the plug-in with your VWO account ID to facilitate the installation of the VWO SmartCode. To do that, perform the following steps:
For Drupal 7:
- After you install the module, a message displays asking you to configure your VWO plug-in. Click on the link provided in the message to proceed with configuring the VWO plug-in.
-
In the VWO Setup page, enter your VWO account ID in the VWO ID Number field.
INFO: Your VWO account ID is present in the panel at the top of the VWO app. - Click Save configuration. Your website is now integrated with VWO, and you are all set to create VWO campaigns.
For Drupal 8 and Above:
-
Post installing the module, navigate to Configuration > System > VWO Settings to configure the Drupal plug-in.
-
Under the Settings tab, enter your VWO account ID in the VWO Account ID field.
INFO: Your VWO account ID is present in the panel at the top of the VWO app. - Click Save configuration. Your website is now integrated with VWO, and you are all set to create campaigns in VWO.
