Google Analytics Integration

[DashRipRock]

Hi,

I'm just getting my site set up and was wanting to use Analytics, but I see several people getting an error in IE 7. Should I assume that maybe it's not something I should install at this point or does it 'normally' work ok ?

Thanks,

Jeff

I've disabled it until I get a response regarding the issues.

Mr. Andrew Berezin,

First I would like to thank you for your excellent code and your contribution to the community.
Would appreciate if you keep all the comments strictly in english and this avoid any confusion and errors on the Html side.

Good work and thanks again.

From what I can tell from the posts here. This mod is not working very well. I think I'll wait awhile before installing it.

It looks like I got this installed on a test site with no prblem. This is a must have tools for e-commerce sites.

Thanks for your reply Anubis. Hopefully it'll be something that's fixed soon. This contribution is almost a necessary one if you really wanna operate a business instead of just 'watching' the website.

Huge thread, can't take it all in. As a new user of this add-on, is there an easy way to tell if it is working? Also, does it work with Ultimate SEO URLs?

Thanks, and apologies if this has been asked and answered before - I couldn't find it.

It appears there is a problem with the IE-specific javascript in this mod.

Look for:

        // for IE
        if(window.ActiveXObject) {
                document.write("<script id=8d6b7cf147cf9 defer " +
                        "src=javascript:void(0)><\/script>");

and replace with

        // for IE
        if(window.ActiveXObject) {
                document.write("<script id=8d6b7cf147cf9 defer " +
                        "src=:\/\/0><\/script>");

I'm by no means a JS expert, so maybe someone else can comment on this possible fix. It at the very least eliminates the IE popup warnings, and doesn't affect how other browsers behave.

Call me an idiot, but can't I just put the analytics code in my footer.php ?

You want me to call you an Idiot? ok.

to answer your question, yes, you can just put it in the footer and be done with it. Just remember where you put it for future enhancements.

What's nice about this mod is that you don't have to go into the code to make changes (well except for when it's not working... ). I'm a designer and create sites for customers using ZenCart. I would prefer my clients never go into the code because you just don't know what might go wrong. So, if I can have google analytics in admin, I'm happier. If for whatever reason they need to change google analytics account, they can make the changes without my assistance. Independence is a good thing for store owners who don't know enough code.
