Simple Google Analytics - Support

[econcepts]

Is there a reason you have a different tracking number (UA) for the secure vs. non-secure site?

Ideally they should be identical if you want the most accurate tracking.

My suggestion would be to choose one tracking number and use that for the website. If you have multiple websites (with different domains) you can use different tracking numbers (UA) to segment then (and even then, you could technically track multiple domains with the same id if desired.)

thanks I got that one figured out. what threw me off was google shows http and https as different choices - then I took at the code they generate and saw the bit about being able to support http and https from the same code.

My other question is this: do I have to define my own sales funnel - I'm guessing yes?

I've done a few transactions earlier today and while basic access stats show up in the analytics code none of my sales have yet.

maybe I need to go back and read all the posts in this thread.

one thing I have noticed -

a lot of the older thred refer to this code in the bottom of the mail page:

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

I have the following code:

<?php
if (GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_TRACKING_TYPE == "Asynchronous") {
// Do nothing
} else {
require(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'google_analytics/google_analytics.php');
}
?>

I am getting google stats but no sales number and do have my UA code entered in the config screen.

In addition my tpl_main_page.php is in:
/usr/local/websites/mysite/includes/templates/ZCT/common

and my google-analytics directory is located at:
/usr/loca/websites/includes/templates/ZCT/google_analytics

does this look right?

thanks in advance.

Wow! I was really surprised when I went to install this addon on a newly installed ZC 1.5.0 that there was no Google analytics showing under Configuration in Admin. That is a first, as I have installed this addon on previously ZCs with no problems.

I did go back a page in this support thread and noticed the fix. But since me and databases don't get along (I just have to look at myphpAdmin and my database explodes) ... I'll wait for Eric to provide an updated version with the fix.

A great addon, well written, congratulation to Eric.

I would have however a few suggestions on future releases:

1. google_conversion_format, google_conversion_color and google_conversion_label are hardcoded - should be editable from admin

2. Beside checkout_success, to track eventually user signup and/or newsletter subscribers (helpful if you have adwords on)

3. I think that is no need anymore for the old urchin and ga code. I would clean up the file eliminating the code leaving only the async type. This way this addon would be a truly plug & play, no hacking would be necessary to any template file.

I've made some of these modification to my site and the addon is working great.

Where did you find the fix, please? I've been fighting with this all morning.

My GA numbers seemed to be fine after the upgrade, but they've slowly dropped 'till they are showing ZERO visitors...despite the fact I have plenty of people online, and am getting business-as-usual.

So I downloaded this and installed it, but now there's nothing in the configuration menu; so I'm at a dead end.

I was able get the configuration ID in the configuration database using phpMyAdmin.

I added the Simple Google Analytics to the Admin Page Registration using this info:

Page Key: Simple Google Analytics
Page Name: UN_BOX_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS
Page Filename: FILENAME_CONFIGURATION
Page Parameters: gID=49
Menu: Tools
Display on Menu? Y
Sort Order: 0

The menu was added in under Tools. However, when clicked it just shows the My Store configuration.

Thank in advance for any help.

I didn''t have any luck with it under 'Tools' either.

Registering it under 'Configuration' and it shows properly.

Nearly ALL add-ons will need to be upgraded in order to work with Zen Cart v1.5.. This is an easier task for some add-ons than others, and Eric is being cautious to make sure that any "quick fixes" posted do not cause and PCI compliance and security issues.. So be prepared to wait through this process prepare to continue to be "surprised".
