Simple Google Analytics - Support

[Saraniel]

Hi Cuda,

Just a quick question:
When I add new products and categories in my shop, is simple google Analytics going to reference those new addings ?

Best regards,

Ooops, I just posted this in the other Google Analytics thread and I was reading and saw this is the thread with the active mod so I figured this would be a more appropriate place to ask my question (sorry for double post)...

I just signed up for Google Analytics. My question is: What's the difference between this mod and just directly inserting the google tracking script code into the template/common/html_header.php file?

I posted this reply to you in the other thread as well. Here it is in case you didn't get that one...

There is no difference (the mod makes it easier without the need to "touch code" from within the Admin).

By the way, I would recommend that if you are going to insert the code yourself, then don't insert it into the header file. I would recommend inserting it into the "tpl_main_page.php" found in the "common" folder (includes/templates/[your template]/common ).

That is the better place to put it (and the spot that the Simple Google Analytics inserts it).

I have inserted the Google Analytics code (along with e-com tracking and conversion tracking) on older carts just by pasting into the bottom as indicated here. Again, the mod provided makes it a bit easier. (Why not take the "easy route")?
