Simple Google Analytics - Support

I need help with this installation. I am using smart backgrounds and am wondering if there is a conflict with this mod or if I just installed it incorrectly.

My site is www.residentpress.com

Thanks.
Kelly

There should be no conflict with Smart Backgrounds. They should work together providing you put the code in the right spots.

I went to your site and the tracking is not showing. I have not used the Smart Backgrounds mod, but if it alters the Footer in any way, that might be your problem. I have seen with affiliate programs where the footer override causes the code not to show and correction of this is an easy fix.

In your case it may be that as well (again, never used the Smart Pages mod but this would likely be true if the footer file was altered.)

The other thing you might want to check is if you completed step 3 of the install read me. There is some code that needs to be pasted into the tpl_main_page.php file in order for the Google tracking to be added to the site.

Let me know if any of this helps or not and we'll work through it to make sure it is working for you.

Yes, that is correct.

Since the code is placed properly yet is still not showing up on your site make sure you:

1) Check to ensure the tpl_main_page.php is in the proper location for the template you are using.

2) The Smart Backgrounds does not override the footer file in any way with it's own code (which might override this.)

I would suspect it is probably more than likely #1 on this list.

If we can't get it figure out I can get in and take a look for you.

Just let me know.

**kblckmr** · 17 Mar 2010, 08:10 PM

Okay. I double check the smartbackground mod and no, there weren't any changes to the footer. My tpl_main_page.php file is located in /includes/templates./residentpress/common/
That's correct, right? My only other change is that I renamed my admin file however I can see the google ananlytics configuration tab in my admin panel. So my "admin" sees the files. Hmmm....

Thanks in advance for you help. Let me know what you think I should do next. Thanks.
Kelly

Ok on the smart backgrounds.

Renaming the admin won't so anything so you're ok there.

The location of the file would be correct providing that is yoru template directory (which it looks to be.)

Do this. Send me your login info (Admin Zen and FTP) through a private message and I'll take a look.

Should be a very quick fix.

**econcepts** · 18 Mar 2010, 02:40 PM

Hold on a second. I just went to your site and the code is now showing. Whatever you did in the recent changes (or something) seemed to have got it working.

The tracking code now looks to be in place.

To confirm this you can pull up any page on your site and then do a "view source". The code is a the very bottom now.
