Simple Google Analytics - Support

[studeo]

I just read 23 pages of posts. I had installed this mod a couple of months ago.

My question:

I want to have ecommerce tracking. Do I add to the bottom of the checkout_success page any of the code provided by google? If so, what?

And the fields in the google code such as [state] etc........are they dynamic? Do I have to customize them?

Do I need to add anything on the checkout page at all?

Thanks much

If you have installed the "Simple Google Analytics" module from the downloads section here, then you do not have to do anything in order to get E-Commerce tracking installed FROM A CODE PERSPECTIVE. It is already included in the code for the mod.

HOWEVER, you DO need to login to your Google Analytics account and let it know that your site is an "E-Commerce site" or tracking will not work. You do this by checking the radio button that says "E-Commerce Website" from the "Edit" section of your main website profile.

Thanks.

I had my first 3 sales last week but they didnt register...thats why I asked. might there be a conflict with authorize.net processing that you know of?

I have ecommerce site checked off from the beginning.

Thanks again

There shouldn't be any conflict with Authorize.net at all. Providing you have the tracking code in place properly, it should all register just fine.

I use Authnet on the vast majority of sites I work with (Zen related) and they all record Google Analytics (including E-Commerce Tracking) just fine.

Maybe run a test transaction yourself to see if it records a sale. If you go through the process yourself you may be able to find out if there is a glitch in the process.

You would also be able to do a view source after you complete your transaction (on the thank you page) and be able to find out if the E-Commerce tracking is present and filled with data).

Thanks Eric...that was a good idea.

I did run a test sale and the info is written in the google analytics source code when I viewed it.

What has been your experience in the amount of time it takes google to register the info on the analytics account?

Thanks

I am still not able to get Google to say anything but "tracking status unknown: The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your website's home page. For Analytics to function, you or your web administrator must add the code to each page of your website."

I set the setting to YES it is an ecommerce site on my Googly Analytics profile.
I'm pretty sure I have the codes in the correct spots.

The only thing I was unclear about is whether I am supposed to put the codes from the mod AND Google's code into the common/tpl
_main_page.

When viewing the source the code DOES show up on my main page.

OK finally working!
After reading through pages of this thread.....

1. DO NOT put in the code Google Analytics provides...
2.Replaced the code the mod provided with this one provided by DrByte...

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

and voila!
we're up and running!
