Simple Google Analytics - Support

[mcarbone]

Hi econcepts,

Thank you for your help, but it is still not working.

I did #1 as requested below, but instead of checkout_success/tpl_footer.php, I deleted the includes/templates/[your template directory here]/templates/tpl_footer.php which is what I thought you meant.

1) DELETE the directory and file found here /includes/templates/[your template directory here]/checkout_success/tpl_footer.php

I then inserted the following code in /includes/templates/[my template]/common/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") {

if (isset($zv_orders_id) && (int)$zv_orders_id > 0 && isset($order_summary) && is_array($order_summary)) {

  if (!isset($_SESSION['affiliate_order_id']) || $_SESSION['affiliate_order_id'] != $zv_orders_id ) {

      $_SESSION['affiliate_order_id'] = $zv_orders_id;

     $commissionable_order_formatted = number_format($order_summary['commissionable_order'], 2, '.', '');

     echo '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="https://www.medsafeglobal.com/jamaffiliates/sale.php?amount=' . $commissionable_order_formatted . '&trans_id=' . $order_summary['order_number'] . '"></script>';

    }

}

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

..then...nada, zip, zilch after a test order was placed!



Could it be that because the cart is on a second level heirarchy (like domain.com/cart) that it is the reason why I'm having issues? Hmmmm

Thanks again for your help!

Does anyone know how to set an "add to cart" goal in Google analytics? I've tried a regular expression

/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=.*&products_id=.*

but this doesn't work.

My intention is to see how many people add to their cart VS actual sales.

Hi paul3648,

You can use the same funnel as I am using:

1. /index.php?main_page=product_info <<<--- Customer views product details
2. /index.php?main_page=shopping_cart <<<--- Customer adds product to cart
3. /index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping
4. /index.php?main_page=checkout_payment
5. /index.php?main_page=checkout_confirmation
6. /index.php?main_page=checkout_success <<<--- Goal URL

Although as you can see a couple posts up, I had to use the full URL for these to work for me, such as:

https://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?main_page=checkout _success

(of course you would change to your domain, etc.)

Thanks iscatech,

I have a functional checkout_success goal, but I'm interested to see how that compares to a separate goal where people click "Add to Cart" and then leave the site.

I will try your first two steps, making product_info an essential step and shopping_cart the goal, but this won't record the "add to cart" clicks that are immediately abandoned. But perhaps that's nitpicking...

[iscatech]

I have my site set to display the shopping cart whenever a product is added. So as far as goal tracking is concerned, it would show hits on #1 and #2 of my goal path. (This option is under Admin > Config > My Store > Display cart after adding product.

I can see how many customers abandon at each stage of the process using the Funnel Visualization link in Google Analytics, starting from the product info page.

To see "add to cart" vs. "sales" I think you would use a similar path to mine but start with the cart instead of product info.

Ok new question:

In my Google Analytics, in the top right corner I see me tracking number, UA-#######. When I got to check the tracking status I see UA-#######-3. I have also seen in other threads people using a "-1" at the end. What is the difference? Which number do I enter in the GA Config?

I have been using just the number, but GA is not recording ecommerce sales. Could this be why?

If you have Google analytics on more than one site, the number at the end of your UA code differentiates the sites. If you just have one site, the number should end with -1.

Is it possible for the mod to place the template coding twice in each page if I installed it, deleted all files, uninstalled sql, and re-installed it?

My site and admin are running extremely slow, i've moved the google code to the bottom now, I don't know what is going on, it's quite frustrating.

Hi
Thanks for the great mod

I installed it and entered my account id under configuration.

I go down to Activate Conversion Tracking... yes i use adwords... what is the Google Conversion Tracking ID? Where do i get that from, I cant find that in my analytics account OR in my adwords account.

Also i disregarded this:

Google told me to post this into the page: (i didnt is that right?

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-10268705-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>
