Simple Google Analytics - Support

**peggyc** · 30 Jan 2007, 03:59 AM

Hi,

I've installed Simple Google Analytics, and wanted to ask a quick question about a possible modification. My store is on a subdomain of my main site. Google says that in order to track subdomains in the same profile as the main domain, a line of code needs to be added to the normal Analytics call.

The line that needs to be added is the one in bold. (This is the code as copied right off Google's help page)

Code:

<script>
  _uacct="UA-xxxx-x";
  _udn="mystore.com";
  urchinTracker();
</script>

So, do I just add this line to the google_analytics.php file like so:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "' . GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_UACCT . '";
_udn="mystore.com";
urchinTracker();
</script>';

(with my domain in place of mystore.com)

Should that work? Thanks!

Yes, that's the right place to add it.

What happens when you do ?

Dr. Byte,

Any idea why I'm getting the double // in my error message above? I checked the google analytics file and it just has one / in it.

thank you,
betty

post a copy of your /store/includes/templates/custom/common/tpl_main_page.php file for review.

Here is my complete tpl_main_page.php from my includes/templates/custom/common directory:

Judging by View Source, it appears to have worked!

Thanks, Dr. B. -- Zen Cart is my first experience with PHP, so I wanted some reassurance before monkeying around with this too much.

**DrByte** · 31 Jan 2007, 04:42 PM

bettysue,

Since you're apparently only running this for checkout_success, then perhaps you need to change the logic to check and be sure the file exists.

Try changing this:

Code:

<?php
require($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'google_analytics') . '/google_analytics.php');
?>

to this:

Code:

<?php
if (file_exists($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'google_analytics') . '/google_analytics.php')) {
  require($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'google_analytics') . '/google_analytics.php');
  }
?>

**bettysue** · 31 Jan 2007, 06:50 PM

Is that advice for me or the other poster Dr. Byte?

If it's for me, that is the only place the mod said to put the code. Should it be elsewhere also?

betty the double forward slashes may be a server setting or it may be a change to the get_template_dir() function in 1.3.7 either way it should not matter. To make it look nicer remove the '/' before 'google_analytics.php' from this line in your template:

PHP Code:


require($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'google_analytics') . '/google_analytics.php');

To make it look like this

PHP Code:


require($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'google_analytics') . 'google_analytics.php');

And if you used dr bytes suggestion to check if the file exists change that line too.

I still do not see your google account number showing up in the tracking code on your home page so there is another issue.....But not sure how the XXXX could posible show up unless you have it entered in your dB or hard coded somewhere. You sure your account number is in your admin....I just don't see any other way for this code to spit our xxxxx unless that is the number in your dB and make sure it is on your live site and not a local test site.

Sorry for the delay in response had some car troubles and been shopping around the last couple days for a new one.
