Google analytics problem installing

[sheila123]

I'm trying to install an add on for google analytics. In the Read me info, it's telling me to install a piece of code into this file


/includes/templates/[your_template]/common/tpl_main_page.php

(my template is ''classic") I do NOT have this file. Searched throughtout my file manager, seached in Developers tool kit. Other templates that I DON'T use, that are in my directories DO have this file. But my template doesn't.

Any suggestions? Is there a simpler way to install google an?

The add on I'm trying to install is here

You really should not be using the classic template because in an upgrade you will loose all customizations made.

Read the template file section of this

Huh? Holy cow. Does this mean I have to re-do my whole site from scratch?

NO! Read the tutorials

Just create a folder named for your template and replicate in all places where you have edited files that exist in a classic folder.

Copy these edited contents from classic folders to your folders

Create a template_info.php with your template name now select it from the admin and reset the side boxes - you will have to re-do your sidebox selections and order

Now when you upgrade and all classic folder contents get overwritten, your customizations are safe

Thank you SO much. OMG, I almost had a coronary! lol. I was just reading the links (above). Very helpful. It's funny when I started this site, I just assumed that CLASSIC was an 'option' of templates available for use. So I just didn't read that whole thing about Classic Templates. Big BIG DUH.

Thanks again, I really appreciate all your help.

Back to your original issue:
/includes/templates/[your_template]/common/tpl_main_page.php

Just make a copy of this file from
/includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_main_page.php

And place it in your template after adding the Google code
