Simple Google Analytics - Support

[internetoutfitter]

Whoops, let me check that. Thanks Shrimp-Gumbo!

[internetoutfitter]

Yep, that was it! Thanks!

So now where does one find the Analytics tracking info? In the Google account? Don't mean to sound dumb but my client suddenly decided to use Adwords and frankly I've always avoided it in favor of other methods. So I installed this update but have no idea how to confirm it is passing info.

Thanks again,

Mark

Thanks for the Contrib, i just posted a question on another thread, and just found this now.

First, run this query

SELECT configuration_group_id
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Google Analytics Configuration';

If no row is returned, just delete the two "DELETE" lines from the beginning of googleanalytics.sql:

DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;

Otherwise, if it does return a number, you'll then need to run the following queries to see what may be deleted. Replace <number> with what was returned above

SELECT * FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = <number>;
SELECT * FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = <number>;

If any rows are returned by those two queries, you'll need to back up those lines before running the googleanalytics.sql script.

I ran the first query and got this:
SQL query:

SELECT configuration_group_id
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Google Analytics Configuration'
LIMIT 0 , 30
MySQL said:
#1146 - Table 'midwest_mydb.configuration_group' doesn't exist



any suggestions?

I noticed the same thing. If I prefix the table name with zen_ I get the expected results. I'm working with an install that was set up by my designer so I don't know for sure. I did see (back in message 373 of this thread) that the zen_ is supposed to be automatically added but it isn't for me...

Be that as it may, this is a great mod, Eric. I'm amazed at the work you've done - THANKS!

Does this work with Cross-channel Campaigns (conversion tracking)? I've set it up manually by editing the define_main_page.php, but that "Google Site Stats" link looks stupid in the middle of the page. It would be nice if it was in the footer, but only showed up on the main page.

Hello,

Just installed Simple Google Analytics v 1.2.1 and had a problem configuring the account number. Google would say code is not found on page although I could see it in the page source.

I think I found out the solution and I guess the installation readme could be more specific on this point. I hope Eric Leuenberger reads this message and will fix the doc.

The readme says the Analytics account has to be configured in zencart admin section for Google Analytics. Analytics account number is something like UA-1234567 and using this in zencart config leads to the error reported above.

The point is that Google tells me to insert JS code that uses UA-1234567-1 (notice the final -1) and zencart generates the code without the last part.

Now the solution: use the account number you can see in the JS code Google ask you to insert in your page. If you have only one profile it will probably end in "-1", but if you have more, this number may be different.

Hope this helps.

Duh- I didn't know you could apply patches via Admin/Tools/Sql Query Executor. I've been trying it all through PHP MyAdmin

I just upgraded version 1.1 of the Simple Google Analytics mod to version 2. I did it by the book with no errors and it appears the code is in the pages on www.rv-accessory-store.com but Google Analytics doesn't acknowledge it.

Can anyone give me some ideas? I'm perplexed.

Thanks,
Mark

Make sure you provide Google with the proper URL to check for the tracking code at -- and don't forget the trailing slash.

I think it would be good to have the tracking in the popup_shipping_estimator.html page.... any ideas of how to do this?

Shrimp

Two things.

1) To add it to that page (since it does not use the standard tpl_main_page.php file) you would need to add it to that page along (manually).

2) I would NOT put the shipping estimate into a pop-up anyhow. It hurts conversion as mentioned in my 20 Ways book and at this link:
