Simple Google Analytics - Support

Sorry, I just seen you replying to people so I presumed you created it. I don't think it tracks them either.

Is this tested to work with 1.51?

I looked back a few pages in the thread and didn't see a mention, so I thought I'd ask to be sure.

Can the plugin's page be edited to say that it works with 1.51?

Can the plugin's page be edited to say that it works with 1.51?

You asked this twice.. So here's how it works.. IF someone tests this add-on (plugin is a WP term) with the latest version of Zen Cart, finds it to work, reports it as such AND IF the admins decide they will change the plugin's page to say so, they will..

However, I believe it is UNLIKELY that an add-on that works with 1.5 and requires NO CHANGES to work with 1.5.1 will be updated in such a manner. You can check with the admins yourself to find out if I am mis-stating this..

Hope that answers this for you..

Reading back a few posts it looks like the plugin author is readying to submit an update. Hopefully they will confirm at that time whether they've tested it on v1.5.1.

That said, one way to find out if it'll work is ... to try it. Preferably on a test copy of your site (which you should have anyway, for testing any added features you're experimenting with). Then post back here what you discovered.

I installed the plugin, but Google Analytics doesn't record anything. Is there a way to see if the plugin is installed properly? It could be the problem with my Google Analytics account...

Ya: is the HTML showing in your pages? Right-click and View Source.

Thank you JOE PIXEL.

Beats me why this solution is still not part of the read me... Thanks again!!!

I managed to get Simple Google Analytics Version: 1.2.5 to work for me on Zen version 1.5 and added to the admin menu. I thought I'd share.

The new GA version does not seem to have a language file to define one of the settings for the admin menu to appear. I created this file: admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/googleanalytics.php and placed the following code in this file:

<?php
define('UN_BOX_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS', 'Simple Google Analytics');

Here are the settings I used in the admin registration page.

Page Key: Simple Google Analytics
Page Name: UN_BOX_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS
Page Filename: FILENAME_CONFIGURATION
Page Parameters: gID=36 (make sure you look up this in your database because the number will be different. see below on how to do this.)
Menu: configuration
Display on Menu? Y
Sort Order: whatever you want

To find the gID number run this select statement in phpMyAdmin:

SELECT * FROM `configuration` WHERE configuration_key like '%google%'

Then look for the configuration_group_id. This is the number to use after gID=

I hope this helps someone!

How do I use admin registration page?

Also, I checked the source code of my main page... Google Analytics code is there but still I'm not getting anything. Does that mean that the problem is with my Google Analytics Setting rather than the module?

What is the link to your site?

A few reasons why it may not be tracking even if the code is present on your pages:

1) The tracking id being used is not the correct one for the account you are looking at data for

2) You need to re-verify the code with Google once in place (possibly). If your account does not say "Waiting for data" then you likely need to re-verify (done from within Google.)

3) Google is set to track the site, but it has yet to start actually 'showing data' in the reporting end. This can occur for some time with various sites and is unrelated to the module itself. It is something that varies with how long it takes Google to begin actually showing what it is tracking.

Those are the most probable reasons.

Because add-ons are a volunteer effort.. Volunteers are humans.. things get inadvertently left out.. However, you could volunteer to make this solution part of the readme if you like..
