I have changed to ga.js but that too seems to be as inconsistent as the other. ALso any referrals on yahoo search never appear??

The module does not actually record the data. That is done on Google's end. So any tracking that is not consistent is a Google side issue more than likely.

This module simply provides the ability for tracking to take place by placing the code on the page.

There will always be differences in tracking to some degree (more on the ga.js version than the urchin version) because google uses javascript to track.

For Yahoo, it should appear just like any other engine does UNLESS you are talking about "yahoo search marketing" 9as in paid search or ppc).

Google does not track that info out of the box and you have to make some adjustments (on google's end not within the module) to track that information in your Google Analytics.

Here is an article that may help you do that.

How To Track Yahoo Paid Search With Google Analitycs

Hi there,
I've just installed this for the first time on a 1.3.9d cart and when I install the sql, it returns the following error:

1366 Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'configuration_group_id' at row 1
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES ('', 'Google Analytics Configuration', 'Set Google Analytics Options', '1', '1');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Not sure what that means but any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks heaps
Rob

Rob,

This works fine on all version of zen (including the newest).

A few questions for you:

1) How did you install the patch? You should copy and paste it into the zen cart admin (not upload it) and run it from there.

2) What version of MySQL are you running?

3) What version of PHP are you running?

Hi and thanks for the reply,

At first I tried uploading it, and that produced the error. Then I tried pasting it in, and that gave the same error exactly.

I'm running PHP Version 5.2.13 on IIS7 FastCGI mode, and MySQL 5.1.46

I've got 3 Zen Carts on the server, one old 1.3.7, one fairly old 1.3.8a, which has an earlier version of the analytics mod on it, and now I'm keen to get it working on 1.3.9d

Do you think there is any damage from uploading the script first time around, or is it pretty safe once it has failed with the error.. I assume it would have stopped processing the script, but I don't really know much about it.

Perhaps I should check the db for some tables to remove if the script upload messed it up?

Thanks for any advice on this
Rob

@robax,

Give this link a try. The error you are getting is likely a result of strict mode being turned on in your MySQL install.


http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63993

That link gives some info on how to turn it off or address it.

Let me know if it helps!

Thank you Eric! you rule!
Commenting the strict line out of my.ini allows the sql to execute and everything's working perfectly.

Hi

I've been using google simple anaytics for some time now and it has been good.
The only issue is that some traffic appears as a referral from my own domain.
ie. classicalchandeliers.co.uk/ referral

This is not good when I am trying to track the source of sales.

I do have a htaccess redirect from non-www to www

Any idea how this could be fixed?

thanks in anticipation

Paul

Paul,

Try some of these links to see if anything helps. There is some good info here. Let me know if any of this solves any issues. It sounds like there are a number of cases where this could happen.

Here is another really good link on the subject:

Hi

I'm running Zencart 1.3.9 d

This is a fresh install of Simple google Anayltics

Files installed.

I've appended the code to just before the closing <\body> in
/includes/templates/[your_template]/common/tpl_main_page.php

I've run the install.sql - no errors.

I've setup up a google analytics account.
I've configured the "UA-" account number in Zencart to match.

No matter what I do, I can't get Google to connect. The yellow hazard sign never dissaperas in Google.

I can see code has been appended to my source when viewing in FireBug.


My site is :-

http://www.reefbay.co.uk/ (which redirects with a 903 to http://www.reefbay.co.uk/shop)

Can anyone see anything obvious I have missed? I'm sure it must be something really basic, but I just can't see it.

cheers
Al
