Simple Google Analytics - Support

**netmeg** · 14 Dec 2007, 09:14 PM

Any chance this is going to be modified for the new Google Analytics code that was released this week? Google claims that using the new (non-urchin) code will allow some kind of better viewing of ecommerce transactions; I have it installed for all my clients except for two that use Zen Cart, and wasn't sure if it would be possible/easy to update the code there. We are using this module currently.

Yes, this code WILL in fact be updated to use the newer Google Analytics code just released this week. I am working on that now. :)

I'll post to the board once ready to go and upload to the forums for download as well.

Ok, I have read through this entire thread here and my issue seems to be a new topic. I have installed this mod on a fresh install of zen 1.3.8. I see that the tracking code is being generated in the catalog, however I do not find the admin config settings in the control panel to set my tracking ID. I have uploaded all the files to the correct directory. Not sure why I cannot see this option in the Admin panel.

It should be under Admin>Config>Google yes?

Am I missing something?

Can I add my tracking id manually?

Thanks
Rooster

Nevermind - I had have the admin profile module setup and I simply needed to turn that feature on.

Thanks Eric {BTW} I love your website and the eBooks, so much useful info.

I just set up a new site today and went to google and noticed the new script. for those who are wondering if it works in 1.3.8 YES it does,

If you are developing a mailing list for notification of this new mod, would you please include me?

Just jumped in here. Can I assume the new G code and the Simple Google Analytics mod like each other? BTW, Eric, your site won't resolve at this writing. I'll check back. Thanks.

I am having problems setting this up on my site. I am running the newest version of Zen Cart. I have done the following.

Created a Google Analytics account.

I download the google analytic mod. I checked the code in the file, /public_html/includes/templates/silverfish/common/tpl_main_page.php

Made sure that the body ID showed
<body id="<?php echo $body_id . 'Body'; ?>"<?php if($zv_onload !='') echo ' onload="'.$zv_onload.'"'; ?>>

Then added :

<?php

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

?>

Just before the </body>

Updated the .sql file for non-upgrate.

Changed the account # in the admin config

Uploaded the files included with the mod into my file structure.

Now, when I access Google Analytics, I get tracking code not detected.
I have my Analytics set for http://www.pinwest.net and the default page, index.php.

Any ideas ???

Thanks,

David...

Did you forget the trailing slash when telling Google where to verify code at?

You have to be careful at times with letting Google know the exact location.

Try reading through this post. It has some things to consider if the code shows as not detected. (One being the trailing slash).

Thank you very much. Figured out. My problem was that I copied the reg. code from the goggle site. Forget where I got it but the one I copied did not have the "-1" at the end therefore the activation code was incorrect. I found that when I check the code that goggle wanted me to enter into my site, the code had the -1 while the code I was using did not.

Thanks for the link, it did help me greatly.

The new G code and Simple Google Analytics WILL like each other (once I get this new version out).

The upgrade from this version to the next should be pretty simple.

Until then, you can use this version of Simple Google Analytics (which uses the previous "Urchin" tracking method and will be supported by Google for at least another year -- don't worry, my module will be out long before that with the updated code :).
