Simple Google Analytics - Support

[upnorthal]

Please ignore my previous.

I refreshed Google after 10 minutes the icon has changed to a 'tick' (receiving data).

So, this MOD is fine and so are the instructions!

Google wasn't in a hurry to re-validate my tracking code!!

Thanks

Hi

I'm running Zencart 1.3.9 d

This is a fresh install of Simple google Anayltics

Files installed.

I've appended the code to just before the closing <\body> in
/includes/templates/[your_template]/common/tpl_main_page.php

I've run the install.sql - no errors.

I've setup up a google analytics account.
I've configured the "UA-" account number in Zencart to match.

No matter what I do, I can't get Google to connect. The yellow hazard sign never dissaperas in Google.

I can see code has been appended to my source when viewing in FireBug.


My site is :-

http://www.reefbay.co.uk/ (which redirects with a 903 to http://www.reefbay.co.uk/shop)

Can anyone see anything obvious I have missed? I'm sure it must be something really basic, but I just can't see it.

cheers

Make sure you provide Google with the proper URL for verifying the tracking code at. The redirect is likely hurting that process.

Try giving Google the exact url of the store:

http://www.reefbay.co.uk/shop/

That should do it.

Hi,

Thats exactly what I did, just prior to the thing working!

I did wonder if the re-direct could cause problems.

Nice mod.

Cheers

I went into the directed path for the first time install:

/includes/templates/[your_template]/common/tpl_main_page.php
(/includes/templates/darkness/common/tpl_main_page.php)

In order to copy and paste the line of code, as directed but which I go to the above path I do not have the /tpl_main_page.php. The only files I have listed in that path are:
tpl.header.php
tpl.footer.php

Am I in the wrong area?

You'll need to copy the tpl_main_page.php from the template_default directory to your custom directory then add the line of code. That is so Zen activated the override system for that file on your template. Right now your cart is pulling the file from the default template directory.

Thanks... Found it and got it loaded. I have installed the patch and everything but when i go to Google Analytics it doesn't show any numbers? Do I need to put the code from the google analytics site into my Main page or something?

You need to now enter your Google Analytics ID number into the configuration section of the admin (zen cart). If you are using Adwords and want to activate conversion tracking you'll want to add that number as well.

Once you enter those items you'll want to have Google "verify the tracking code". All should work after that.

You can perform a "view source" on the page to verify the proper tracking id has been inserted.

Thanks Eric. I added the ID Number and still nothing. I went into Google Anyalytics and it said that the code could not be found! grrrr. This was meant to be easier than this I thought!

I have 6 sites being tracked by Google. So the account numbers are all like below:
UA-########-1
UA-########-2
UA-########-3
UA-########-4
etc.

What is the url to the site you are looking to track? I'll take a look here.

The website is www.driftbuildstore.com

Some how this site below starting getting tracked recently but I have never done anything to it so I'm not to sure what is going on with it or how it happened.
