</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-2256908-1";
urchinTracker();
</script></body>

which looks fine, but I keep getting the following message:
Tracking Unknown (Last checked: 2007-07-26 2:01 AM PST.)
The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your website's home page. For Analytics to function, you or your web administrator must add the code to each page of your website.

I have version 1.3.7 installed, I have tried all of the suggestions that seems to have got most other people with this error up and running but it doesn't seem to work here.

This is the line from tpl_main_pafe.php (didn't need to be changed):
<body id="<?php echo $body_id . 'Body'; ?>"<?php if($zv_onload !='') echo ' onload="'.$zv_onload.'"'; ?>>

And I have uploaded all the files.

Any help would be great.
Thanks
Oh the site is www.stainlesstools.co.uk

Make sure you gave Google the proper URL to check the status of the tracking code. I wrote a post that may help at the following url.

:thumbsup: So it WAS just a matter of time. The last test sale I put through just showed up in the tracking module.

Thanks for all the feedback you were willing to hang in there with!

Now I have to find out how to delete that bogus sale from the averages...lol

Is there a way to see if certain sites block the use of GA? I know for a fact that eBay , through my about me page, is sending folks to my cart but ebay never shows as a source is GA. :wacko:

Any sites / browsers that block JavaScript will not show up in GA. You might get an idea of this (very general) by looking at the number of visitors that come to your site who have JavaScript enabled. Those that don't more than likely are not counted in your GA totals.

AHH I was JUST going to ask about that! I have no-sript installed for Firefox and I always block everything. There has been many times I haven't allowed google analytics on sites....:clap:

Yeah, this is something that many people don't think about, but it is mentioned by Google in the "depths" of their explanation of Google Analytics. They tell you that tracking may differ at times due to users who are blocking JavaScript.

Since their tracking runs purely on JS, those visitors would not be recorded in the statistics (this includes conversions with e-commerce, sales, etc...). All that tracking would be blocked.

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

I don't suppose you know how to block it from recording when you go on your own site?

I tried following Google explanation of having to make a file with JS code in it, then creating a filter telling it to Exclude computers with that cookie on it....

Makes NO sense....

Yes, that IS the best way to do it and it does work. I use it myself.

What problems are you having with that? maybe I can make sense of it for you.

Have you tried to exclude your IP address (assuming it is not dynamic) using the same Filter Manager?

I am finishing up a new workbook that is due to be released on or before August 15th called Google Analytics Uncovered for Zen Cart: The Workbook. In it I go through a number of things including the Filter Manager. That may help when available.

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

Hi

I can’t find directory or folder includes/modules/pages/checkout_success directory.
What I got is /includes/modules/pages/checkout_success/ on_load_main.js
Also in my includes/templates/MY TEMPLATE/common/ I don’t have this tpl_main_page.php , should I copy it from some other folder? And from where?

Thank you

Seems to be working now, I went away for the weekend without making any changed at all, just had a look and it is now receiving data. Looks like it just takes a bit of time for the process to complete..
