    Default Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

    Hi Eric

    Just wanted to say a huge thanks for the add-on, it's brilliant, and is working very well on my site.

    One point I need help with is excluding dynamic IP addresses from the Google Filters - I don't want Google tracking internal (my) access. I tend to make one change to my site live, and then click refresh to see the changes, plus I'm navigating around the site CONSTANTLY, trying to test things out etc. It's probably skewing the analytics reports by a HUGE margin!

    The suggestion by Google is to "add a page" to the site, and put in this line of code:

    Code:
    <body onLoad="javascript:pageTracker._setVar('test_value');">
    In Zen Cart's case, adding a new "page" isn't that obvious. Would it be ok to alter one of the exsisting pages with the code, and reupload it?

    I presume after activating this filter, it's only valid from configuration point, and is not retrospective is it?

    Default Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

    I've just set this up for the first time, and it now successfully say's 'waiting for data'.

    I had to put the code into the header php page of my template design. Not a problem though is it?

    It seems though, that since installing the addon (but before modifying any of my template files to actually add the code) I noticed that the site no longer displays any products on its welcome screen.

    Any reason anyone can think of?? It shows the welcome message, products still show when I navigate to them, but not on the home page.

    Please Help!

    Sounds like you've done something when you tried to enter the code in the header.

    You can add it there but the preferred method is to add it as instructed in Step 3 of the install (to the "tpl_main_page.php" file).

    I would go back and look at what you altered to make sure you didn't inadvertently delete something on the template that caused your issue.

    It should not cause the problems you mentioned and I've never seen that before (thousands of installs without this problem.)

    Let me know if you get it corrected r if you need me to look at it further.

    Glad you like it. It has come in handy for many.

    No need to do that at all (add pages, code etc...) to exclude yourself.

    Here is the easiest way to exclude your own traffic from your analytics reports. go to the following link and follow the instructions. Very straight forward and easy to use. Works like a charm.
