GA-4 Analytics [Support Thread]

[lat9]

Agreed, @carlwhat, GitHub issue opened: https://github.com/lat9/ga4-analytics/issues/13

The issue can be corrected via edit to /includes/auto_loaders/config.ga4_analytics.php, changing this section

$autoLoadConfig[90][] = [
    'autoType' => 'class',
    'loadFile' => 'observers/class.ga4_analytics.php'
];
$autoLoadConfig[90][] = [
    'autoType' => 'classInstantiate',
    'className' => 'ga4_analytics',
    'objectName' => 'ga4_analytics'
];

to read

$autoLoadConfig[120][] = [
    'autoType' => 'class',
    'loadFile' => 'observers/class.ga4_analytics.php'
];
$autoLoadConfig[120][] = [
    'autoType' => 'classInstantiate',
    'className' => 'ga4_analytics',
    'objectName' => 'ga4_analytics'
];

I have installed the GA-4 Analytics update to Zen Cart 1.5.6c however I get an error in the log and Web site doesn't load

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /includes/classes/observers/class.ga4_analytics.php on line 309

case FILENAME_SPECIALS:
global $specials, $listing;

$products = $listing ?? $specials ?? []; <<line 309
if (empty($products)) {
break;
}
$_SESSION['ga4_analytics'][] = [
'event' => 'view_item_list',
'parameters' => [
'item_list_name' => GA4_ANALYTICS_SPECIALS,
'items' => $this->getListingItems($products),
]
];
break;


I have put the G- code in the GA4 Analytic admin field.

Any ideas?

[lat9]

You need to update the site to PHP 7.0 at a minimum. The null-coalesce operator (??) wasn't available until that PHP version.

[GordoTheFlash]

Thought it might be something like that, but don't like updating PHP unless instructed.

Thank you

Updated Php version on server to 7 however I though I would see the change appear on the web site admin under the version menu?

But it still has PHP Version 5.6.40

Does it take a while to filter through?

@GordoTheFlash Check with your hoster. The time varies between "instantaneous" and "you must wait for a migration to another server."
Also, double check after some time has passed because you may be looking at a cached page.
