Simple Google Analytics - Support

[jamesmcl515]

James,

Do you have an affiliate program (like JAM / JROX) installed on your site? This the way this is installed causes it to override the thank you page (footer) of the site and thus renders the Google Analytics Tracking code non-working (it removes it from the page).

If that is the case you can read my post in the link below for installing it with JROX / JAM. Go to the following link and scroll to the bottom of the page (July 22 post). You'll see the instructions for how to do this.

If this does not correct your issue let me know and I can take a look.

Thanks!

Hey Thanks so much for your help. We followed the instructions you provided and the Simple Google Analytics eCommerce Tracking worked. BUT, our iDefAffiliate program did not work anymore. So, we had to back out the changes and add revert back to the 'tple_footer.php' file that you recommended we removed.

We did try to add the iDev Affiliate code to the 'tpl_main_page.php' as you suggested to move the JAM code. But, this caused the site to not even load. We don't have a test environment and we are not php coders, but we do want iDevAffiliate and Google Analytics eCommerce tracking to work at the same time. Do you have a suggested approach to resolve this issue?

For your reference, this is the instructions that the iDevAffiliate gives for Zen integration:

ZenCart Version 1.3.x or Newer
1. Download the template override file: Download Here
2. Save the file to your local harddrive.
3. Edit that file and near the bottom, adjust the path to your iDevAffiliate installation folder/directory.
4. Upload that file to your /zencart/includes/templates/your_template_directory/checkout_success/tpl_footer.php directory.

Notes:
1. The directory your_template_directory is the ZenCart template directory you're using.
2. If the directory checkout_success doesn't exist, create it and upload tpl_footer.php into it.

Here are the contents of the 'template override file they provided:

<?PHP
require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('footer.php'));
if (!$flag_disable_footer) {
?>

<div id="navSuppWrapper">
<div id="navSupp">
<ul>

<?PHP
}
}
?>
<div id="siteinfoLegal" class="legalCopyright"><?PHP echo FOOTER_TEXT_BODY; ?></div>

<?PHP }

if ((int)$orders_id > 0) {
$IDEV = $db->Execute("select class, value from " . TABLE_ORDERS_TOTAL . " where orders_id = '".(int)$orders_id."' AND class in ('ot_coupon', 'ot_subtotal', 'ot_group_pricing')");
while (!$IDEV->EOF) {
switch ($IDEV->fields['class']) {
case 'ot_subtotal':
$order_subtotal = $IDEV->fields['value'];
break;
case 'ot_coupon':
$coupon_amount = $IDEV->fields['value'];
break;
case 'ot_group_pricing':
$group_pricing_amount = $IDEV->fields['value'];
break;
}
$IDEV->MoveNext();
}
$idev_sale_amount = ($order_subtotal - $coupon_amount - $group_pricing_amount);
$idev_sale_amount = number_format($idev_sale_amount,2,'.','');

// Make sure the below path is correctly pointing to your installation folder/directory.
echo "<img border=\"0\" src=\"http://www.yourdomain.com/idevaffiliate/sale.php?idev_saleamt=$idev_sale_amount&idev_ordernum=$orders_id\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\">";

echo "</td></tr></table>";
}

?>

Yes, this install of iDev is basically the same as it is with JAM (same concept, same files altered.)

You would still want to follow the same instructions as for JAM (of course removing the JAM portion and replacing with the iDev affiliate one).

If you need help send me a private message and I'll take a look.

Thanks!

Hey Eric,

Once again you are an amazing resource for the Zen Cart community, thank you. Before we give this another shot, I have one additional question.

Do we need to include the entire contents of the 'tpl_footer.php' page on the 'tpl_main_page.php' page or just a snippet that is relevant to iDev?

Thanks again,
James

James,

Thanks for the kind words. I love to help.

To answer your question ...

You do NOT want to include the entire contents of the tpl_footer.php file in the tpl_main_page.php

You only want to include the bit that I have indicated in the instructions at that previous link (let me know if you need that again.)

It would look something like this (at the bottom of your tpl_main_page.php).

< ?php
require($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'google_analytics') . '/google_analytics.php');
?>
< ?php
if ($_GET['main_page']=="checkout_success") {

##########################################
## START iDevAffiliate INTEGRATION WITH ZEN CART ##
##########################################


Insert your iDeve Affiliate code here taken from your tpl_footer.php page


#######################################
## END iDevAffiliate INTEGRATION WITH ZEN CART ##
#######################################

} // end if for determining if this was the checkout_success page.?> 

Let me know if that helps. Remember, once you do this and find it is working you will need to remove that "checkout_success" directory (the one under your custom template NOT the core one!) for the override to work.

If you need me to fix it for you let me know and I can take a look (I'll PM you the details).

I am sure I followed your instructions, have installled a couple of times on my site at createadesign.net, but I still get:
The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your website's home page
on the Google site, and i have an inverted yellow triangle under Status
any suggestions or help would be greatly appcreciated

I went to your site and it looks like there is a problem near the bottom of the page (when I view source). The closing BODY and HTML tags are missing (which again leads me to to believe there is an issue with code near the bottom somewhere. Looks like the menu calls just stop after "Newsletter Unsubscribe" -- look around that area in your code for a possible error (maybe non-related to this mod?)

Make sure you did Step 3 of the install (added the line of code that calls "google_analytics.php".

Also make sure you add that line of code to the proper page. It looks like you are using a form of the Apple zen template. You will want to add the line of code in step 3 to the tpl_main_page.php in the same folder that your template is running from (like "apple").

Finally, make sure you upload the "google_analytics" folder to your custom template directory as well (not the default one).

Let me know if this helps.

The only reason code won't show (tracking) with this mod is due to one of the three reasons above.
