Without reading all 19 pages.....Sorry but had a few issues when I first installed but haven't had a need to come back since - I like these plug and work kind of mods
I installed this mod in a v1.36 store when it first came out and now need to install it in a v 1.37 store. Is the file in the d/l section compatible with v1.37 and are the instructions the same for v1.37 or do I need to search the threads for tweaks and things to do to make it work?
thank you
betty

Good idea Woody. I have a few video tutorials that will be going up on my site shortly. The code I have I posted earlier on in this thread.
For setting up goals etc.. that doesn't involve "code" as much as it involves putting the right items in the right places of Google Analytics (which is easier to explain and show it looks like)
I'll make it a point to put that video up here in the next day or so. It should hopefully clarify the difference between "all items" that Google offers as well as show how to set it all up (on the google side).
Inserting the code alone (that I posted) will only get you "part of the way there".
Again, I'll make it a point to put that video up in the next day or so. I'll post here when it is live.

I think you'll be a bit of a hero for lots of people when you get this completed!
I know I'm greatly looking forward to any kind of tutorial about how to set up the goals/ecommerce part of Google Analytics; video would just be gravy!
I have this mod installed, and Google Analytics is collecting and displaying visitor info about my site, but I obviously went wrong setting up my goals because they're always sitting at 0, and I have more than 0 sales (and my Ecommerce radiobutton has always been set to "yes"). ^_~
So just wanted to say I'm really looking forward to this!
I have also visited your zen optimization blog, and a lot of it really made sense to me, so now I'm implementing some more of your suggestions. ^_^
Thank you!

You can achieve this effect by using the "overrides" system in Zen Cart. (In case you don't want to go that route, I included the code below for you to use, but I would recommend going with the overrides since it allows the js to be automatically loaded on every page (you may miss a few pages if you try to insert it manually)
Here would be the preferred method (using overrides):
Step 1: Create a javascript file that contains the "PreLoad" event fuctions, and save it with a name that starts like this "jscript_[yourFileNamehere].js". Upload that javascript file into your template's jscript folder. (Any file placed in this folder with "jscript_" in the front will automatically be included in every page on your site).
Step 2: Create a file and save it as on_load_[yourSelectedFileName].js. In that file, only include the following line of code preloadImages();
Upload that file to your templates jscript/on_load folder in order to have the on-load events trigger properly.
Here would be the "manual" method:
PHP Code:<body id="<?php echo $body_id . 'Body'; ?>"<?php if($zv_onload !='') echo ' onload="preloadImages(),'.$zv_onload.'"'; ?>>
That should do it.![]()
