I then went to Admin > Configuration > Google Analytics and set things up, putting in my GA code, etc.

I see Adwords clicks, but I get no records in my Google Analytics reports. Is there something more I need to do with the mysql patch? When I "uploaded" it nothing appeared in the ZC text area that is labeled "Enter query". Was I supposed to do a copy/paste here? I know nothing about mysql queries.

Jack,

A few things to note.

1) It is sometimes best to "copy and paste" the SQL patches into the Admin interface rather than upload files (which in the past have been shown to be rather shaky at times).

2) Seeing Adwords clicks does not mean you have the module installed. Adwords clicks are tracked from the GOOGLE side and triggered when a user clicks on your ad). Integration between Google AdWords and Google Analytics is what can happen with my mod (so that the Adword data shows in your Google Analytics reports).

3) Did you add the line of code to your "tpl_main_page.php" file as listed in the installation? I looked at your site, and the tracking code is not showing at the bottom of your pages. This means that you skipped Step 3 of the installation instructions which mentions that you need to add the following lines of code to the "tpl_main"page.php" file:

<?php
require($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'google_analytics') . '/google_analytics.php');
?>

If you perform #3 above, I think you'll get it all working. :)

Thanks.

I'm asking the following for the benefit of others and because the reports are only generated once a day. I pasted it in the tpl_main_page.php just before the </body> tag, correct? So, a live page now shows this at the bottom (my UA id hidden here):

Code:

---

<!--eof- site copyright display -->

</div>

<!--bof- parse time display -->

<!--eof- parse time display -->

<!--bof- banner #6 display -->

<!--eof- banner #6 display -->

<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-XXXXXXX");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>

</body>

</html>

Sorry, tried to add this to the previous, but the editor froze.

How would I check to see if the mysql patch uploaded correctly?

I'm feeling especially dim right now.

Been working with this for hours now but google still says tracking not installed.
But i can see it in the page source! What is it that either google or i are missing?

The page is at www.napavi.no/shop

Anyone feeling bright?

I'm having my own troubles, but I do know Google update the results only daily. I frankly don't remember if the "√Receiving data" shows immediately or not. Someone else will have to answer that. I also see you have not placed the php code (reply #613 ) at the bottom of the tpl_main_page.php file.
I like your design.

econcepts:
My problem is that I have added the code as you recommended in post #613, I see the Google Analytics code in my page, and I see √Receiving data in my GA dashboard, but no visitors are registering in the reports.

In phpmyadmin, I see the table, google_analytics_languages, in my database, but that's all. Is there more I should see to confirm that the Simple-Google-Analytics patch is in place?

If I copy/past the patch into the /admin area under Tools > Install mySQL patches, will it overwrite what is there, and how should I open the data to copy it without losing any important formatting?

Thanx for compliment and advice JackA

Obviously the Recieving data takes som time to update. Should maybe be some kind of warning in the installation file saying; "patience young padawan, if google doesnt register your site, leave it till the next morning before you post a hysteric complaint..."

I am upgrading to the new 1.2.1 on ZenCart 1.3.7. Simple Google Analytics has been installed and working since December, but I am getting an error when I run the upgrade sql patch for the new one. These are the steps I did:
1) uploaded google_analytics.php to:
includes/templates/cherry_zen/google_analytics folder.
2) opened includes/modules/pages/checkout_success/on_load_main.js and determined "javascript:__utmSetTrans();" was the only line in the file, so I deleted it from the directory.
3) copied the googleanalytics-UPGRADE.sql contents into the SQL query executer and hit "SEND"
4) got the following page:

1062 Duplicate entry 'GOOGLE_CONVERSION_ACTIVE' for key 2
in:
[INSERT INTO zen_configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('', 'Activate Conversion Tracking', 'GOOGLE_CONVERSION_ACTIVE', 'No', 'This element enables you turn on or off Google Conversion Tracking.

Please Note: Conversion tracking is used to track the effectiveness of Google AdWords paid search campaigns. If you are not running any paid search campaigns, then you should leave this set to "No".

If you are running Google AdWords (paid search) campaigns, then turning this on will place the proper conversion tracking code on your checkout success page and enable you to start tracking conversions.

Turning this on requires you to enter your unique Google Conversion Tracking ID in place of the "XXXXXXXXXXX" number shown in the next section.

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.

I've double-checked the location of the files and tried running the query again with the same results. The only way to exit this page is the "back" button or close the page.

OK, I notice that the Google account ID and the Google account number are slightly different. The ID is UA-xxxxxxx but the account number for a specific url is UA-xxxxxxx-x, I suppose because I am tracking several sites.

So, I went back to Configuration > Google Analytics Configuration and added the -x at the end of the account number, which was not there before. Was this the problem? It appears I can't find out till tomorrow.

I am trying to install this Google analytics as new, but i am confused...

"1. After you have identified the directory that your template is running from and determined where you will be uploading the files to,
upload the included install files and directories to your zen cart site."

Upload which of the many files and directories? To which one of my custom templates.....? I have a few custom templates, or is that wrong?
