The new G code and Simple Google Analytics WILL like each other (once I get this new version out).

The upgrade from this version to the next should be pretty simple.

Until then, you can use this version of Simple Google Analytics (which uses the previous "Urchin" tracking method and will be supported by Google for at least another year -- don't worry, my module will be out long before that with the updated code :).

Made sure that the body ID showed
<body id="<?php echo $body_id . 'Body'; ?>"<?php if($zv_onload !='') echo ' onload="'.$zv_onload.'"'; ?>>

Then added :

<?php

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

?>

Just before the </body>

Updated the .sql file for non-upgrate.

Changed the account # in the admin config

Uploaded the files included with the mod into my file structure.

Now, when I access Google Analytics, I get tracking code not detected.
I have my Analytics set for http://www.pinwest.net and the default page, index.php.

Any ideas ???

Thanks,

Did you forget the trailing slash when telling Google where to verify code at?

You have to be careful at times with letting Google know the exact location.

Try reading through this post. It has some things to consider if the code shows as not detected. (One being the trailing slash).

Thank you very much. Figured out. My problem was that I copied the reg. code from the goggle site. Forget where I got it but the one I copied did not have the "-1" at the end therefore the activation code was incorrect. I found that when I check the code that goggle wanted me to enter into my site, the code had the -1 while the code I was using did not.

Thanks for the link, it did help me greatly.

Hi,

Who knows what I did wrong, when I do get the normal analytics data, but the ecomerce keeps saying 0.00% conversion. Somehow the ecommerce things are not tracked, as I have had sales since I installed this.

(I had analytics running before I installed the module. And I have selected 'ecommerce site' in my analytics account. Also I can see the urchin code when I view source.)

I'm trying to install GA. I am at step 4 (updating database with sql file) This is what I received below. I have zen 1.3.7.1 and MySQL 4.1.22-standard-log. Anyone know what I did wrong. Keep in mind that I am clueless about all this stuff

Please Note: Conversion tracking is used to track the effectiveness of Google AdWords paid search campaigns. If you are not running any paid search campaigns, then you should leave this set to "No".

If you are running Google AdWords (paid search) campaigns, then turning this on will place the proper conversion tracking code on your checkout success page and enable you to start tracking conversions.

Turning this on requires you to enter your unique Google Conversion Tracking ID in place of the "XXXXXXXXXXX" number shown in the next section.

This error usually results from not uploading the "google_analytics" directory to the proper location.

It should be uploaded to your template main directory as such:

/includes/templates/{your template directory here}/google_analytics

I'm still having problems. First I get this warning below on the bottom of my site and when I check my GA account it states that GA tracking hasn't been installed on my website. But I have done everything up to step step 5

This is fustrating

It's telling you that it's looking for a specific file ... but can't find it.
Note the path and filename it's mentioning.
Use your FTP program and check to see if the file exists exactly as mentioned in the error message, as I've highlighted above for convenience.
... perhaps you missed uploading it somehow.

Thank you so much Dr. Byte!

It is now finally working and Google says it's receiving data. I hope in the future that the installation instructions in mod contributions are a more "newb friendly" because when we follow instructions to a T and still run into problems, it get's a little discouraging.
