I have GA mod installed tracking is fine but when I tried to create a funnel with checkout success as the final page I wasnt getting any successful conversions.
I read something about Jam and GA somewhere but can find the post. I see the Jam script at the bottom of the page but not the GA? Is there a reason. Please get back asap if you can as I am going to be setting up a new company and want to get it right from the start.
thanks

I have done everything required to make this mod work, however, I can't get the code to show up in my source. Below is the last section of my tpl_main_page.php file. I am using a template called "classic" and it does not have a common folder in it. I assume it uses the "default_template" for everything it doesn't have, correct? I went ahead and put the google_analytics folder in both the classic folder and the default_template folder just to be safe. The site is www.kikoykiosk.com
Thanks for your help.

If you are runnning any of the 1.3.x versions of Zen Cart, this line is already
included with those installs and you can safely skip this step. You may need to check earlier
versions for it though.

Yes, the JAM code (because of how it is installed) overrides the code for GA in the footer.Quote:

Let me know if you have any further questions!
It's ok if that is not present (the onload portion). That won't show on most sitess for the most part (even when GA is present). That's because it is php code which activates at run time. Typically the body tag remains as is and the onload is not critical.Quote:

What you need to do is make sure you place the "google_analytics.php" reference in the tpl_main_page of the classic template and make sure you copy the directory google_analytics to the correct location for reference as well. It might be best to create your own "common" directory under the classic template to add your own file to as well.
If you send me a private message with your login details I can correct it for you quickly.
I'm trying to track traffic from other sites especially cpc that comes in to specific product pages.
Can this be done?
When I look for the google analytics code on pages it appears on the home page and category pages BUT not on product pages!!! Is that right?
Thanks guys:D
We have installed the latest version of Simple Analytics (v1.2.2) and we still do not have ecommerce tracking showing in Google Analytics.
-We have installed and re-installed, but with no luck in getting ecommerce tracking.
-We have made sure that the profile in Google Analytics has been edited to turn on ecommerce tracking.
-All of the pages on our site have the tracking installed EXCEPT the order confirmation / thank you for your order page. This is where the eCommerce tracking code should be installed as per Google Analytics:
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXX-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
pageTracker._addTrans(
"1234", // Order ID
"Mountain View", // Affiliation
"18.28", // Total
"1.29", // Tax
"5", // Shipping
"San Jose", // City
"California", // State
"USA" // Country
);
pageTracker._addItem(
"1234", // Order ID
"DD44", // SKU
"T-Shirt", // Product Name
"Green Medium", // Category
"11.99", // Price
"1" // Quantity
);
pageTracker._trackTrans();
} catch(err) {}</script>

If that is the case you can read my post in the link below for installing it with JROX / JAM. Go to the following link and scroll to the bottom of the page (July 22 post). You'll see the instructions for how to do this.
http://www.zencartoptimization.com/2...-the-workbook/
If this does not correct your issue let me know and I can take a look.
Thanks!
You have the code installed incorrectly if it is showing on some pages but not others. If you installed it per the instructions it will appear on all pages of the site including the checkout page.Quote:

This will get you all the detail you need on cpc.
But again, you need to have the GA code installed correctly first and it appears that isn't the case.
There are only a few steps to installing this mod are you sure you are using this one (there is another mod that is not mine out there.)
If you can't figure it out, post a link and I'll see if I can't pin point what might be going on.

Eric,
I've found that I have no footer on the product pages!! www.classicalchandeliers.co.uk
I other sites I am building like www.electrical-and-plumbing-supplies.co.uk that I have not put simple google analystics on yet so I wouldn't think the problem is there... but do have any ideas what the problem might be.
I have loaded glacial age, Image handler 2 , zenlightbox modules.
thanks in anticipation/ Paul
more info Eric
I get this debug error require(includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_modules_xsell_products.php) ? when I look at product pages without the footer
I have performed this fix to make the footer re-appear on the product pages
Footer not displaying on product pages
looked in includes/templates/glacial_age/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php
and commented out
// require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_xsell_products.php', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/' . 'tpl_modules_xsell_products.php');
On line 271
I'll check the analytics again

We did try to add the iDev Affiliate code to the 'tpl_main_page.php' as you suggested to move the JAM code. But, this caused the site to not even load. We don't have a test environment and we are not php coders, but we do want iDevAffiliate and Google Analytics eCommerce tracking to work at the same time. Do you have a suggested approach to resolve this issue?
For your reference, this is the instructions that the iDevAffiliate gives for Zen integration:
ZenCart Version 1.3.x or Newer
1. Download the template override file: Download Here
2. Save the file to your local harddrive.
3. Edit that file and near the bottom, adjust the path to your iDevAffiliate installation folder/directory.
4. Upload that file to your /zencart/includes/templates/your_template_directory/checkout_success/tpl_footer.php directory.
Notes:
1. The directory your_template_directory is the ZenCart template directory you're using.
2. If the directory checkout_success doesn't exist, create it and upload tpl_footer.php into it.
Here are the contents of the 'template override file they provided:
<?PHP
require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('footer.php'));
if (!$flag_disable_footer) {
?>
<div id="navSuppWrapper">
<div id="navSupp">

<li><?PHP echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?PHP echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>
<?PHP if (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '1' or (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '2' and (strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))) { ?>
<li><?PHP require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php'); ?></li>
<?PHP } ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<?PHP
if (SHOW_FOOTER_IP == '1') {

<?PHP
}
}
?>
<div id="siteinfoLegal" class="legalCopyright"><?PHP echo FOOTER_TEXT_BODY; ?></div>
<?PHP }
if ((int)$orders_id > 0) {
$IDEV = $db->Execute("select class, value from " . TABLE_ORDERS_TOTAL . " where orders_id = '".(int)$orders_id."' AND class in ('ot_coupon', 'ot_subtotal', 'ot_group_pricing')");
while (!$IDEV->EOF) {
switch ($IDEV->fields['class']) {

break;
}
$IDEV->MoveNext();
}
$idev_sale_amount = ($order_subtotal - $coupon_amount - $group_pricing_amount);
$idev_sale_amount = number_format($idev_sale_amount,2,'.','');
// Make sure the below path is correctly pointing to your installation folder/directory.

Yes, this install of iDev is basically the same as it is with JAM (same concept, same files altered.)Quote:

Thanks again,

To answer your question ...
You do NOT want to include the entire contents of the tpl_footer.php file in the tpl_main_page.php
You only want to include the bit that I have indicated in the instructions at that previous link (let me know if you need that again.)
It would look something like this (at the bottom of your tpl_main_page.php).
Let me know if that helps. Remember, once you do this and find it is working you will need to remove that "checkout_success" directory (the one under your custom template NOT the core one!) for the override to work.PHP Code:< ?php
require($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'google_analytics') . '/google_analytics.php');
?>
< ?php
if ($_GET['main_page']=="checkout_success") {
##########################################
## START iDevAffiliate INTEGRATION WITH ZEN CART ##
##########################################
Insert your iDeve Affiliate code here taken from your tpl_footer.php page
#######################################
## END iDevAffiliate INTEGRATION WITH ZEN CART ##
#######################################
} // end if for determining if this was the checkout_success page.?>
If you need me to fix it for you let me know and I can take a look (I'll PM you the details).
I am sure I followed your instructions, have installled a couple of times on my site at createadesign.net, but I still get:
The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your website's home page
on the Google site, and i have an inverted yellow triangle under Status
any suggestions or help would be greatly appcreciated
Rufusclc
I went to your site and it looks like there is a problem near the bottom of the page (when I view source). The closing BODY and HTML tags are missing (which again leads me to to believe there is an issue with code near the bottom somewhere. Looks like the menu calls just stop after "Newsletter Unsubscribe" -- look around that area in your code for a possible error (maybe non-related to this mod?)
Make sure you did Step 3 of the install (added the line of code that calls "google_analytics.php".
Also make sure you add that line of code to the proper page. It looks like you are using a form of the Apple zen template. You will want to add the line of code in step 3 to the tpl_main_page.php in the same folder that your template is running from (like "apple").
Finally, make sure you upload the "google_analytics" folder to your custom template directory as well (not the default one).
Let me know if this helps.
The only reason code won't show (tracking) with this mod is due to one of the three reasons above.
Hi,
Do you have any plans to update Simple GA to use the new asynchronous tracking code now available from GA?
I have used it on a couple of (non zen cart) sites and it is much faster.
Thanks
Mark
PS Thanks very much for Simple GA it is a very good add on.
Good question Mark.Quote:

2. If so, how do we go about installing this module alongside the GoogleCheckout payment module?
My guess is that we simply install the Simple Google Analytics module and disable the Analytics tracking within GC Payment module, can someone confirm with similar set-up that the two work without any issues please?
Thanks.
1. Yes, this module tracks all orders on the Ecommerce side of things ... no matter the method of payment processing.Quote:

There should be no need to disable one tracking in place of another unless both tracking ids appear on a single page (which would inflate your statistics by "2 times").
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks Eric, will give this a try. Hopefully this can resolve the issue. Will post back.
Sounds good. If you have any questions or problems feel free to ask. Good luck!
Please forgive me if there is an answer right in front of my face, I have searched for it and not found it. I am trying to put the Google conversion code on my Zen Cart. Where does it go? Templates-->Myname-->Google analytics? Or some place else? Where is the "conversion confirmation page"?The instructions with Google are not easy to follow. Thanks for letting me know.
To be more specific,here is what they say on the Google site and where I am not understanding them (in red):
III. Conversion tracking & Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP)
Follow these instructions to insert the conversion tracking code to a website created using dynamically-generated PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) pages.
To add conversion tracking code to PHP pages using your web page editor, complete the following tasks:
1. Open your conversion confirmation page PHP file. If multiple pages are generated from the same file, find the section in the PHP file which generates your conversion page.
Where is the conversion confirmation page?
2. If your site has a variable conversion value, determine the PHP expression that displays that value. For example: <?php echo $totalValue ?>, <? echo totalValue ?>
Choose the [FONT=Courier New]Purchase/Sale [/FONT]conversion type while going through the conversion tracking setup. Insert the full string (<? echo $totalValue ?>) into the "Revenue for your action" field and click Save Changes & Get Code to generate the final tracking code. Click 'OK' when you're prompted about using an unrecognized value. Copy and save the resulting code snippet .
I don't think that Zen Cart has a variable conversion value, does it?
3. Insert the conversion tracking code onto the conversion confirmation page. Make sure that the code appears within a static HTML section, not contained within an PHP code section (delineated by <? and ?> markers).
Insert the conversion tracking code snippet directly into the body of the conversion confirmation page. Search for the </body> tag and place the code immediately above it.
If the </body> tag is not located within the static portion of the HTML page, make sure that you add the code snippet so that it appears within the <body> section of the page.
This seems pretty straightforward. It's just the where of the final conversion page that I think is hanging me up.
I suspect that the answer is: /includes/modules/pages/checkout_success/header_php.php I did look at that and the entire header_php.php is (guess what) php. According to Google you are supposed to put the code in an area of the checkout success page where there is only static HTML, but all of the header_php.php is (as I said before) php. Would I add some HTML to it, such as Make a phony header up for it to make it look like there is an HTML area. I am baffled. Thank you for any enlightenment.
I have read 30 pages of posts and still can't find a solution to why the tracking code has not been detected by Google.
I am using 1.3.8a and installed the Simple Google... Mod. I thought I put the files in the right places and the SQL patch installed fine. I pasted
<?php
require($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'google_analytics') . '/google_analytics.php');
?>
into the footer of the tpl_main_page.php file, entered my Google account # into the admin section confirming the number was accurate and checked the yes, ecommerce radio button on my Google Account.
I don't see the tracking code on my homepage but I don't understand what I did wrong. This is the URL http://healthybargains.net and I would be happy to give my FTP info if needed.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much.
Yes, there is no tracking code on your site (obviously). This means that you put the code in the wrong location or into the wrong template.
You're running a custom template so make sure you put it into that folder (tpl_main_page.php) and not another.
PM Me with FTP info and I can take a look.
I did find the answer to my question, so I will post it here in case someone else looks here for the answer. I have the Google Analytics Configuration module on my Zen Cart. I put in the Analytics Account Number and Google Adword Conversion Tracking Number in the places indicated, I set the "Activate Conversion Tracking" to yes and that was all I had to do to turn on conversion tracking for Google Adwords on my Zen Cart. So there was nothing more to add to other parts of the site.
On the other hand, I needed to put the Analytics code on the tpl_main_page which was located in your template/common folder, and put the code right above the closing </body> tag. I got that code from the Google Analytics site.
Your Analytics Account Number is given to you at the Google Analytics site when you sign up for it.
The conversion ID is sort of hidden, you generate the code snippet and there is a line which looks like this:
var google_conversion_id = 12341234123;
That number is your conversion ID and that is what you put in your module.
So far things are working well. It is more strange to sign up for all this, and then again parts are very easy as well. I hope that this helped someone out there. I was baffled for a long time, too.
Worked very well. Install was as easy as it gets. Now the eCommerce tracking works for all types of checkout. I also disabled the GC module Analytics feature just in case.Quote:

Hi,
I have worked it out...
I didnt renamed my ADMIN folder to my covert name... LOL
all working great now.. brill mod!
thank you
Actually you did this wrong. The way you set it up (if you copied the code that Google Gave you to your tpl_main_page) then a lot of the features of the module will be lost.Quote:

The way you did it you'll have problems. There should be no need to manually copy any code from Google into your site (only the tracking numbers.)
Again, just follow the instructions in my readme (not on Google) and it should work flawlessly for you .. that includes Ecommerce Tracking, Conversion Tracking for Adwords, Analytics, Goals, Funnels, etc...
It's all pre-built into my module. If you are reading what Google is telling you to do, you're doing it wrong.

OK! I take it that you are eConcepts who created that module Simple Google Analytics. I wasn't the person who installed and so I don't have the readme file which came with it. The person who installed it didn't quite get the hang of it so, since I am the user, I should know how to fix it.
So, it sounds like I should take off the code I put on the tpl_main_pg, put on the code which came with the readme file:
"All you have to do is add the line of code from STEP 3 of the readme that came with the module (to the same location on the tpl_main_page) and you're all set."
Super. I will look for the add on module, download it to my computer, look through the readme file and pick up the code, erase what I put on from Google and put on what you give me in Step 3 and sit back and count things. Thanks.
Yep, you got it! Let me know if you have any problems or questions.Quote:

Hi Eric,
Once again, thank you for excellent zen cart products, information, and support of the community. I would recommend that all check out your website that want to grow their online sales with Zen Cart and eCommerce in general..
Quick question - we had a transaction yesterday that was over $1,000 on our website (our AOV is around $125 so this was great). But we didn't see it come through in Google Analytics Ecommerce Transactions (we were curious about the source of the order).
Is there a bug that does not include transactions over $1,000.00? I have seen issues with code and commas, etc. in the past so just curious if you have tested this with transactions over $1,000.
Thanks so much!
James
James,
Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it and enjoy helping store owners increase their sales.
As far as Google Analytics goes, no, there is no bug that limits transaction amount.
There are instances however when Google will not track a transaction. You see, GA is a JavaScript based tracking system (as are most). Because of this, it can only track users that have JS turned on in their browsers. If a user has JS disabled (and yes, many do this) then no matter what you do, the transaction will not track (in fact that visitor will not show in analytics at all.)
There is no work around for this, just the way JS tracking works.
The other reasons a transaction might not be tracked is because the user paid with a system like PayPal (for example) and they were not returned to the originating website to trigger the ecommerce sale in analytics.
This can happen it return urls are net set correctly on the paypal end or if you require the user to click a button (like "return to merchant") after the sale. If the user does not click the button, the transaction will not trigger in analytics.
This is the case with any payment system which has this type of method of paying (i.e. Worldpay is another that has trouble tracking GA transactions.)
Let me know if that helps.
Hi Eric,
This transaction did take place on PayPal so this seems to be the case that they didn't come back to the site after finalizing the payment.
We recently just launched an AdWords program too so I hope this wasn't from AdWords. We are really trying to prove the ROI of AdWords to make sure we can allocate some more budget for it.
Nonetheless, thanks so much! The tools you have provided have made us so much more empowered to make smarter decisions and invest in the right online marketing channels. Thanks again!
Highest Regards,
James
Great James. That's what I suspected. Keep going with those AdWords, with the right tools at your disposal you should be able to really develop a campaign that generates a wonderful ROI.
I run a number of paid search programs (as an outsourced paid search manager) for quite a number of companies and have been able to generate ROIs on paid search of over 800% (no, that's not a typo).
It all comes down to the right tracking tools, and ability to interpret what they are telling you then allocate funds in the direction that provides the biggest return. Finding the right keywords (and a number of "hidden" ones) helps as well. LOL.
Good luck!

I'm having trouble with my analytics account all of the sudden with one of my domains. For some reason this morning it just stopped reporting hits altogether with the exception of a single URL (mydomain.com/store/index.htm). /store is my zen root directory of course and index.htm is the default main page. So ONLY the pageviews for that URL are being reported. I have absolutely NO idea why this suddenly happened after several months of steady reporting.
Not sure if this is a ga problem or zen cart problem? Another zc store I have is working fine with it's GA reporting. I will post the Domain for your troubleshooting help, but PLEASE NOTE, this site has adult content, so while I appreciate anyones willingness to help, please do not go to site if you are offended by such material.
Site is cupidsbedroom.com
thank you!

Hi, I have just downloaded the Simple Google Analytics 1.2.2. Before I install it, I am running through the readme file. In step 4, it says
However, I can't find the googleanalytics.sql patch. Where am I supposed to get it?Quote:
4. If this is a BRAND NEW install, you will need to update your database with the googleanalytics.sql file.
If you are upgrading (from the oldest 1.0 version), you will need to use the SQL file that is called googleanalytics-UPGRADE.sql
In your site admin go to Tools->Install Sql Patches and apply the googleanalytics.sql patch included.
Is the googleanalytics.sql = googleanalytics-INSTALL.sql in the Simple Google Analytics 1.2.2 folder?
Yes......Quote:

There should be no conflict with Smart Backgrounds. They should work together providing you put the code in the right spots.
I went to your site and the tracking is not showing. I have not used the Smart Backgrounds mod, but if it alters the Footer in any way, that might be your problem. I have seen with affiliate programs where the footer override causes the code not to show and correction of this is an easy fix.
In your case it may be that as well (again, never used the Smart Pages mod but this would likely be true if the footer file was altered.)
The other thing you might want to check is if you completed step 3 of the install read me. There is some code that needs to be pasted into the tpl_main_page.php file in order for the Google tracking to be added to the site.
Let me know if any of this helps or not and we'll work through it to make sure it is working for you.

Yes, that is correct.
Since the code is placed properly yet is still not showing up on your site make sure you:
1) Check to ensure the tpl_main_page.php is in the proper location for the template you are using.
2) The Smart Backgrounds does not override the footer file in any way with it's own code (which might override this.)
I would suspect it is probably more than likely #1 on this list.
If we can't get it figure out I can get in and take a look for you.
Just let me know.
Okay. I double check the smartbackground mod and no, there weren't any changes to the footer. My tpl_main_page.php file is located in /includes/templates./residentpress/common/
That's correct, right? My only other change is that I renamed my admin file however I can see the google ananlytics configuration tab in my admin panel. So my "admin" sees the files. Hmmm....
Thanks in advance for you help. Let me know what you think I should do next. Thanks.
Kelly
Ok on the smart backgrounds.
Renaming the admin won't so anything so you're ok there.
The location of the file would be correct providing that is yoru template directory (which it looks to be.)
Do this. Send me your login info (Admin Zen and FTP) through a private message and I'll take a look.
Should be a very quick fix.
Hold on a second. I just went to your site and the code is now showing. Whatever you did in the recent changes (or something) seemed to have got it working.
The tracking code now looks to be in place.
To confirm this you can pull up any page on your site and then do a "view source". The code is a the very bottom now.
Eric,
Thank you for your kind assistance. I've been up to late working on this and after double checking everything I noticed my directory folder was mistyped. I forgot to had the _ in google_analytics. Ugh! Thank you for looking at everything.
Kelly
I have version 1.2.2 of the Simple GA module installed on my Zen Cart 1.3.8a site. On the "thank you" confirmation page after a customer has placed an order, the page conversion tracking script is being loaded twice, once in the header and once in the footer. The one in the header is being loaded from Google's http server even though the page is SSL encrypted. The one in the footer is being loaded from the https server. Also in the header is the <noscript><img ...> tag that is being pulled from Google's http server. This is causing a security warning (in IE, but not Firefox or Chrome).
I've confirmed that I do not have any entries in my tpl_main_page or html_header files that would be manually loading the page conversion script. I've tried looking through the other template files. Is there one I could have missed?
I know we had an earlier version of this module installed, prior to there being support for the conversion tracking. Perhaps there's a bit of leftover code?
Sorry if this has been addressed previously in this thread. I tried searching through the 117 pages of replies but I could have missed it.
Thanks,
Tim
For the good of the community:
I was having trouble with this application not displaying the GA code and the </body> tag missing altogether. This only happened after installing the required script in tpl_main_page.php. I double checked my installation, made sure everything was spelled right, in the right place, etc. I added bof and eof tags before and after the php code and found that nothing after the bof comment was appearing - so the script was not running at all. After a few more hours of checking everything, I finally turned on php errors by inserting this code at the top of the file:
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
This revealed the following error:
Call to undefined function phprequire()
I was using notepad++ to make the changes and had copied / pasted the code into the tpl_main_page.php file. To resolve, all I had to do was add a space after "<?php" even though there were carriage returns in between that code and the start of the "require" function. I guess notepad++ didn't translate it properly when I pasted it in. :shocking:
So many hours wasted... Hope I can save someone else the headache.
Thanks for the great tool, Eric!
Jeremy (aka, zen newbie)
Where did you find these solutions? I just installed that plugin.
Thanks!
Glad you got it working. :)Quote:

If you need more help on it let me know. The best way to ensure you get it though is to remove any code from the header etc.. that the "Andrew" mod told you to add.
Thanks @econcepts. Apparently I had some leftovers from the "andrew" module. I thought I had looked for all those before posting. But, I just found and deleted the following:
includes/modules/MYTHEME/pages/checkout_success/jscript_google_adwords.php
which looked to be inserting the offending code into the header.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi all,
Sorry to bring this down to a different level, but although I understand which code to add and where, I'm at a loss as to which files to upload from the GA folder, do I upload eveything? and where to put them, any help would be gratefully appreciated, thanks,
Mike
Hi Eric @econcepts; or other help,
I am having trouble with this mod. It does not show up at admin/configuration/. This was a first time install in 1.3.8a
I guess it is because it is so very simple to install I have manage to do something wrong.
Here is shopping cart URL: http://www.ezorbcalcium.com/secure/i...=index&cPath=1
I have installed per “read me” and have check paths for files many times now all seem to be correct.
I have a custom site, path for (tpl_main_page.php) /includes/templates/custom_folder/common/ tpl_main_page.php
I have the following on my web pages, I guess is correct:
<!--bof- google_analytics -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXX-X");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script><!--eof- google_analytics -->
</body></html>
On Google Dashboard shows “Receiving Data” & e-commerce website is YES
I have “Fast & Easy Checkout & USPS Autofill mod's installed.
Thanks for needed help,
Larry
No need to copy any code anywhere else. Just that one bit will do it.Quote:

If you are not running any Adwords campaigns then Conversion Tracking will not do anything for you.
You get your conversion tracking number from your Adwords account (not found in analytics). You must also have "conversion tracking" turned on in Adwords to get that. Finally, the only way (once it is turned on) that conversion tracking works (since it tracks paid search) is if a visitor FIRST clicks one of your paid search ads to get to your site and then purchases.
All conversion tracking figures are found within your Google AdWORDS (not analytics) account.
Now, having said that, this module does automatically track conversions on the analytics side if you have Ecommerce Tracking turned on (this is done from within your Google ANALYTICS account). You can also subsequently track conversions if you setup Goals (again, within your Google Analytics account).
But to track the effectiveness of paid search you use the "Conversion Tracking" id from my admin.
Does that help?
Take a look at the readme file that came with the package. There is a section in there on installation that gives a step by step how to on it.Quote:

Hi Larry,Quote:

I see that your tracking number for Google Analytics is "UA-XXXXXX-X" which means you have not added your tracking id yet (done from within the admin under "Configuration > Google Analytics Congifuration" after you apply the install patch.
Looks like you need to login to your admin and go to "Tools > SQL Patches" then copy and paste the entire contents of what is found in the file called "googleanalytics-INSTALL.sql".
Run that group of queries and it will install the admin portion of the mod so you can configure it.
HI Eric,
I have now installed the sql patch twice. The first time it said 40 statements processed. I just pasted it in again and it say's 40 statements processed. Still no google_on under admin/configuration...
How can I see what is really installed? What should I look for?
Thanks,
Larry
I have check the database and it is in the list of records. I have uninstalled sql and installed it again with no errors. Have no errors on the shopping cart.Quote:

Hi Eric when I look at firebug it shows I have one error. The error points to _gat is not defined, var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxx-x"); Any suggestions on how to correct this. Thank You
Hi
I finally had to remove this mod because it would not install properly and cause minor problem in displaying the side-by side signin page. All Google Analytics files were installed correctly and the SQL file was pasted in and record shows in my database.
I have ask for help several times and also PM Eric twice with no reply. No one has address why Google Analytics would not show up in admin/configuration. After reading the book "20 Surefire Ways to Increase Sales Using Zen Cart." which has excellent tips. I can't wait to get the other book with templates if I could get this mod to work.
I now think it will not work with Fast and Easy Checkout (fec) mod. Is anyone else using fec and this mod?
If this is not true would someone help me so I can get this very important mod to work on my zencart.
Thanks,
Larry
Hi Eric,
I have a question.
I think I already found the solution reading up this thread a lot, but I would like to have a confirmation from you.
It happens that a new customer calls me and ask to place a order on his behalf.
That is what I did, but I did it from a ip that was set as exclude in the filters for analitycs, and also I did not go trough a paid ad, but I logged in directly, registered the customer and placed the order.
After reading many of your answers, it is clear to me why the order does not appear in analitcys convertions, but I am not sure why it is not in the transactions and the goals I set.
I deleted the filter after but the transaction it did not appear still.
Is this becasue the filter is not dinamic? I tought it should have recorded the transaction, but not showning it if the filter was on.
Thanks for your answer and please apologize for my english.

Is anyone using Google Analytics with Fast and Easy Checkout (fec) mod.?
I had is installed and remove it because I noticed on "new customer" "returning customer" page that the Right Side and Left Side Side Boxes were missing. I did not get any error just extra wide "new customer" "returning customer" page.
I am going to re-install "Google Analytics" to see if it will work with fec installed. If someone knows the answer I would appreciate the information.

Hi,
I'm getting an error where some of my transactions are showing up with values of £1 in the conversion tracking numbers.
I've had a look over which ones they could be, and there appears to be no correlation between customer, country, products purchased, order total, checkout currency, tax status and a few other things.
Any ideas why this might be happening would be much appreciated.
Running a fairly modified 1.3.8a and SGA 1.2.2:
• Tartan database (custom)
• Multi-site module (largely custom)
• Product sort – sorts products by popularity (custom)
• Automated currency update
• Capitalise sign-up fields
• eBay exporter (don’t use this)
• Encrypted Master Passwords
• GoDaddy sidebox showing SSL certificate
• Google Base Feeder
• Google Sitemap
• Module Manager
• Quantity Discount
• Simple SEO URL’s
• Simple Google Analytics
• Super Orders
By that i guess you have Admin Profiles installed?.. which is a totally different mod. Bit unfair to assume Econcepts should have wrote this mod's user guide with Admin Profiles in mind... dont you think?Quote:

Just installed this mod, few quick questions:
In my GA account profile I have the following settings:

Default page [?] : left blank
Time zone [?] : (GMT+01:00) London
Exclude URL Query Parameters: left blank
E-Commerce Website: Yes
Site Search [?] : Do Track Site Search (Yes - with Query Parameter as 'keyword='
Currency displayed as: British Pound Sterling (GBP UK£)
Just wanted to check these are the correct settings.
Thanks.
I use: Exclude URL Query Parameters: zenid.
Your are correct we all should list mods installed like fergusmacdonald above does, that is on my do list. I had installed some mods so long ago and have really forgot what each one does then you finally think the way your cart works is plain 1.3.8a until something goes wrong. Since I deal with mostly the like me elderly customers need everything on one page. I have not re-installed it yet so don't know outcome yet.Quote:

Thanks. :) I would agree that the standard install does not take into consideration that all users have Admin Profiles installed. I could add it to the readme for those that need it but it would merely be a side note for those that aren't aware they have to activate any third party module they install (not just this one) if they have Admin Profiles installed.Quote:
