Are you using a custom template or not? In one error, it references the "template_default" directory, and in the other, it references a "CUSTOM" directory.

If you are using a custom directory, then make sure you put ALL overrides in folders associated with that custom template. So, for example, if you are using a custom template and that directory is called "CUSTOM" (as stated in your error message) then the Google Code needs to be installed in the /includes/templates/CUSTOM/common/tpl_main_page.php file. (Not in the one located within the "template_default" directory.)

Likewise, the directory "google_analytics" should be uploaded to /includes/templates/CUSTOM/google_analytics (NOT /includes/templates/template_default/google_analytics).

I thought the directory was it - Moved 'Simple_Google_Analytics' into CUSTOM directory, but no. I've reset the file from backup so it's not an error. Tomorrow I'll try looking at it again.

Providing you are using the Simple Google Analytics module, do the following (see urls below):

Just a quick FYI. There is no directory called "Simple_Google_Analytics" in the install. Not sure where that came from, but it shouldn't exist on your end.

My recommendation would be to go back and start over from the beginning. I am pretty sure it is an issue with the files not being copied to the correct directory. Again, it looks like you have copied them to 2 different directories (1 being the custom and the other being the "default').

That would definitely cause problems as the overrides system in Zen would not be able to find the files needed to make it all work.

Hi Eric, I appreciate your time.
When I unzipped the download, everything was in a directory called "Simple_Google_Analytics". I moved that entire folder to the server. What you're saying is that folder should not exist, and the interal files should be in: templates/CUSTOM but 'without' the outside directory? (I'll also scan for duplicates in template_default)
If true, I will have: templates/CUSTOM/admin (folder) along with the other contents GPL.txt and includes (folder), the 2 .sql patches, and readme_instructions.txt? I'd be dumping the outermost directory.
I added the code to temp_default/common/tpl_mail_page.php to test that file's effect. It has been removed.
20 Ways to Increase Sales is awesome! The Analytics workbook is certainly next.

Paul,

You are correct, the "Simple_Google_Analytics" directory that comes with the unzipped package should NOT be uploaded as is to your store. That is just the "holding directory" for all the files.

You want to unzip that, then open up the "includes" folder included in the contribution. Rename any directory that says "your_template" to "CUSTOM" (as this is what you said is the name of your personal custom template directory) then upload the entire contents of both the admin and the includes AS IS (just upload and go) to your store.

Run the SQL patch and presto. All set. It should state that in the readme as well in case you need a refresher.

Make sure you upload both the admin and the includes directory to your ROOT folder and AS IS (don't try to move admin under a "custom" directory ... that won't work as the Admin section of Zen Cart does not yet provide the ability to over ride files as does the catalog side.

Hope that helps.

Eric,
Still one more set of questions for you. (Got the your_template changed to CUSTOM) The ROOT is 'public_html'? or is ROOT outside of that? Inside 'public_html' is a directory called 'includes' - the Zen Cart stuff. The zen admin folders are in 'public_html' because my store is the sites main page, but admin was renamed for security, so no problem with admin. ?How do I avoid 2 'includes' directories in 'public_html'? Can admin and includes reside outside 'public_html'?

That depends on your server setup, but chances are, if you have a "public_html" directory, that would be considered the root of your site.

You should not have 2 "includes" in the same folder anyhow. If you tried to do that, the files from the "includes" folder you were uploading would by default fall into the already present "includes" folder. That is the nature of servers setups.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Eric,
I think that kills the use of analytics for now. I didn't think it through when setting up the zen cart. It should be in a directory and not on the root. I'm grateful for all your time on this.
