Simple Google Analytics - Support

Ok, the newest version of Simple Google Analytics is ready for download.

I'm submitting the contribution to the Zen Cart downloads area shortly but that will take some time to activate.

For those who can't wait for it you can download it now from the following link:

http://www.zencartoptimization.com/downloads/

The newest version is 1.2.5 and here are some details on it:

1) NEW ADDITION: Now provides the ability to track Page Load Time per Google Analytics new features.

2) BUGFIX: Fixed bug in previous version(s) that would sometimes cause the ecommerce tracking values to miss record a transaction if it included certain characters in the name, attributes, etc..

3) CHANGE: The new version now uses more overrides to make it even more friendly. In the previous 1.2.4 version you had to make alterations to the html_header.php file to accommodate some new changes. The new version 1.2.5 eliminates the need to do this by using the js override functionality in zen cart.

For those who may have made this change in the past, you'll need to read the upgrade instructions to make sure you REMOVE those additions to the html_header.php file.

Upgrading from 1.2.4 or higher, just (a) upload all files (no patches to apply) overwriting those in place now. (b) make the change to the html_header.php file (documented in the upgrade readme file) which has you remove the lines previously inserted.

All set.

Any questions, please post here.

Thanks!

Econcepts thank you for all you hard work on this and all the other modules you have created. People like you make zen cart what it is today. Thank You

Glad you like them, glad to be of help, and thank you. :)

I'm setting up a new website and am adding google analytics 1.2.5

When I copy & Paste the code into the tpl_main_page.php file and reload my website in my browser I get a blank page (no website). When I take it out all is well again.

What am I doing wrong?

I've learned about checking the cache for error log files & the log file said:
[02-Nov-2011 18:24:19] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/frankcw/public_html/jewelryholdersforyou/includes/templates/ashley_pink/common/tpl_main_page.php on line 187

this error is in the cache folder several times..each time I tried the module.
The code for the google analytics is pasted in at about line 370

The character '{' is in the file before & after I paste in the google analytics code. The file works without the google analytics but doesn't work with the code added.

I've found the problem. I had edited the file in Notepad++ and had wordwrap turned on because I had been reading some text files. I did a file compare with winmerge and it noted the carriage return difference. I copied & pasted into the file with wordwrap turned off & it works perfectly now. (I was C&P at line 187 with wordwrap turned off)

Glad to hear you got it working Frank.

Ok im upgrading from version 1.2.4, i followed the upgrade installation guide and got to this part:

3a) Open the file found at: /includes/templates/[your_template]/common/html_header.php


3b) Find the lines that look like this just before the </head> tag and REMOVE them (delete). Save the file and re-upload to your server.

Then i dont know what to do.
Do i run the install.sql file? or run the Upgrade toversion 1-2-4?
Sorry but im lost with this :blush:
P.s I have uploaded and overwritten files as required per upgrade notes.
Regards
Nic

Thanks for the 1.2.5 release! I've been using your 1.2.4 module with good success.

After the upgrade from 1.2.4 (no database upgrade), the code generated the following.

Code:

---

_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXX-X']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageLoadTime']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageLoadTime']);

---

Here's a point you may want to include in the upgrade instructions for people who have previously configured page load time tracking.

Remove the following code from the "Google Custom Code - After" field in the Configuration > Google Analytics Configuration

Code:

---

_gaq.push(['_trackPageLoadTime']);

---

bridge32 - No need to do anything to the database if upgrading from 1.2.4. Check your source to see that the code is still being generated correctly.

Does anybody have a link to the download for version 1.2.5? Thanks!
