Simple Google Analytics - Support

[philip56]

Hi

I've just installed this mod in my zencart 1.3.8 - not activity yet but I note that I will have to wait until tomorrow.

I want to link my adwords account into analytics. The setup instructions in admin/configuration say to insert "your unique Google Conversion Tracking ID". I've gone though the process to get the code and got some code to insert into my site. This contains a 10 digit number, the google_conversion_id - I can't see a number anywhere else.

I've two questions

1. Is this the number I insert?
2. Do I still need to insert the code provided into my site?

Many thanks in advance.

Apparently didn't work Anybody else has a solution to Jrox and Google Analytics? the goals are working fine but my ecommerce data went flat line as soon as the Jrox template over ride on check_out success was installed.

After hours of trying to find a solution to jrox and google analytics, I found that this was the best solution although I'll have to wait till tomororw to check if google logged my test purchases!

Sunflowertami, please see posts 817 and 818 in this thread. I had the same problem as you.

Hi Edwin,

Actually it was your solution that I tried and thought it didn't work because I didn't see any results the next day. However when I checked today the results kicked in and yeah!! it is working again! Great SOLUTION! Thanks!!

That is one way to get it accomplished. I've got to update a few minor things in the Google tracking code (nothing major) and when I do will provide JROX compatibility instructions.

Basically JROX uses the override on the checkout success page to place it's tracking only there. As a result, when a successful purchase completes, zen uses the overridden tpl_footer.php page in place of the default one. This results in the Google tracking code being dropped (which must be located on all pages for it to work).

The route I've taken in the past with others was to actually move the JROX tracking code into the tpl_main_page.php code and add an if then statement checking to see if the page was the checkout success or not. If it is, the code is included. If it is not, the code is left out.

I'll address this in a future release of the mod here.

Hello, I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8a and just installed Google Analytics on Saturday. I just went to my Google account and the status is still not showing as receiving data. I've double-checked the settings and everything seems to be correct. Any ideas? Thanks.

Do you mind providing the "if" statement you're using when you move the code to the tpl_mainpage.php file? Thanks!

If you are entering your "Google Analytics" number then it usually is not the 10 digit number. This is the Conversion Tracking number (which you get from within your Adwords account).

There are spots for each number from within the admin that allow you to add each of these. If you are using conversion tracking, make sure you turn it on from within the admin.

Tying your Adwords account into your Analytics account (to get integrated data between the two) is done from within your Analytics account.
