Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support
Ever since I installed the Jrox footer file in its own "CheckoutSuccess" folder (per Jrox instructions), Google analytics doesn't report any of my sales. I have Simple Google Analytics v. 1.2.2 installed. Any ideas what I can do to fix this? (I posted this several days ago, but in the wrong forum--so this is a re-post)

One is giving me results in the eCommerce area (scubadorag.com) and one isn't (supernutrient.com). I can't see anything that is different between the two and I'm about to lose my mind.
I'm hoping that another set of eyes notices anything obvious that I've done to screw up.
Thank you!
The main problem I see in the source code of the two sites is (scubadorag.com) has the GA code in the right spot before the </head> tag. The (supernutrient.com) site has the GA code after the beginning of the <body> tag. The GA code needs to be before the </head> tag. I hope this helps.

Still trying! Would I hurt anything if I copied the tpl_main_page.php file from the "common" folder, and put it in the new (jrox) "checkout success" folder?
Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support
These files -- the jrox "Checkout_success" and the "common" are both at includes -> templates -> MYTEMPLATE ->

This actually depends on the type of tracking used. Not all GA code goes in the same place. One of your sites is using Asych. Tracking (which should be before the closing </head> tag and the other is using either ga.js or Legacy (urchin) code (which should be at the bottom of the page before the closing </body> tag.
Neither of the positions will affect ecom tracking. If one site is tracking and the other isn't there is something else wrong.
Have you made sure that you selected 'this is an ecommerce site' from within both of the profiles? (This is done from within your Google Analytics account. If that is not turned on in one account, Google will not pick up the Ecom. tracking.
Let me know if that works.

Did you get to read my post about how to integrate these two? Scroll down a few posts back and you'll find a link to an article I wrote with comments explaining how to do this.
Let me know if that helps.
Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support
Please, I am looking for some help with my GA on my site: www.ambersscrapattic.com/shop
I thought I had everything where it should go. However, it's been over a week now. GA is still saying that I haven't installed any code. My admin area has the proper code GA gave me for tracking in it's configuration. I have also made sure that I checked the box saying my site is ecomm.
I am sinking in over my head trying to find where I've gone wrong. I am a beginner I admit. I know I have done something either wrong or just incomplete. I just don't know what or where to fix.
If someone could please send me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
Thank you!
Amber

You don't want to do that. You need to get rid of the checkout_success folder and merge the JROX alterations into the tpl_main_page.php file found in your 'common' folder.

You don't have any tracking code on the pages of your site, that is why Google is not seeing it.
Make sure you complete step 3 of the README file. That is a line of code which inserts the tracking on the page. Then you'll need to copy and paste your tracking ID provided by Google into your Zen Cart admin in the area found under Configuration > Google Analytics Configuration.
