Google Analytics Integration

Brent2:

Folks:
I have been using the google analytics module for months now and it has been working great. Then I was trying a bit of affiliate tracking code and deleted the google analytics code form tpl_main_page.php.
Then I put it back.
Now when I run a test transaction I get an error at the bottom of the browser of the checkout_success page that says:

Line: 25
Char: 1
Error: 'Total_Cost' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: https://I-Have-My_URL-Here.com/cart/index.php?

Is this a cache problem?
Do I need to re-install the module?

I know I didn't have the error before because I was on the look-out for that sort of error.
Any words of wisdom?
Thank you,
Brent

I would try to reinstall the module and make sure you haven't missed any files or anything. There are only a few to upload, so if that doesn't solve it, then I would check other modules you have installed as well to see if that is the culprit.

Run the following SQL query from within the Admin and then delete all files you installed with the contribution. Don't forget to remove the require statement from the tpl_main_page.php page.

#Uninstall Simple Google Analytics
SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Google Analytics Configuration';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS google_analytics_languages;

Hi

Thank you for the sql, I done it.

I need bit more help on that

1. where is the file located tpl_main_page.php page. and what statement I need to remove

where can I find what version do I have, and how can I find out which folder to delete?, ( i assume i need to download it again and match up the files so I know which folder to delete)

I install this mod long time ago, and never really use it that’s why I don’t remember what and where

thank you

I'm not sure what version you are running. The most current version is 1.1.

I was not involved in version 1.0. The best thing I can tell you is to simply look at the original files that came with your install (if you don't know where they are, download a new copy of the version you have from the downloads section) and "reverse" delete them. (Look at where the files in the original install were located and find them in your install. Delete or edit as needed.

tpl_main_page.php is found in your "common" folder (start in includes to find it).

If you are running a version older than 1.0 (I think someone had even a different version running prior to that) then you'll have to find those files as reverse them as well.

The best thing I can suggest is to find your original install and "follow the dots" and "reverse follow the original instructions for install". If you trace it all backwards, you'll be able to uninstall.

Good luck!

Thank you for your help,
I folow your instruction and it work good.

You can use Google Analytics without the mod, BUT you would have to install and configure code by hand. It can be done though, but is a lot more trouble than simply using the mod which does it for you.

In any event, yes, you can use E-commerce tracking by installing code by hand if you want. It requires the insertion of the code using PHP into the proper files manually. There are a number of them you have to alter to do it manually, but again, it can be done, but it is time consuming when done manually.

Can someone please clarify if it makes a difference how Google AdWords Conversion Tracking Number is entered on the configuration screen. The format on the configuration side is XXXXXXXXXX and the format on google adwords side is XXX-XXX-XXXX

Thanks!

Yes, it makes a difference. I have not seen a google adwords conversion tracking number with the "dashes". Unless they changed something, I am not aware of any.

In any event, the typical conversion tracking # usually does not have the dashes and thus should not be entered. If you could post a screen shot (or PM it to me), I'd be interested in seeing what you are looking at for research. It always helps to understand any latest potential changes.

Thanks!

Hmmm i thought it had dashes as well....

I couldn't find the number in google analytics but when I got the email for google, it said:

Your AdWords account number: ###-###-####

(# represents numbers given in email)

I assumed that was what I was suppose to put in google analytics mod.

The way to be sure is to login to your Google Adwords account and then get the number that way (act like you are setting up conversion tracking, and take note of the number within the script they give you to insert).

It could be that any of these variations work. I will research it to find out if there have been any alterations to the numbers recently.

That worked perfectly.. I guess I didn't notice the Conversion Tracking tool.

Two questions:

If I move my site to a different host, do I need a new analytics code and reinstall?

This mod says it applies to Zen Cart v 1.3.6. Will it work for 1.3.8a?

Somebody for some reason rename my module to "Google Analytics by Andrew".

Hello Andrew,

This may be just my store setup, but I installed the mod and sql patch. If I have something in my basket and go to checkout, it pops up with the following.

Do you want to display the unsecure items on this page?

YES NO

I found that if I delete the javascript file for this mod, the problem goes away. Obviously the mod won't work without them.

I added the code to the bottom of tpl_footer as stated.

I have simple google analytics by Eric also. Is that the reason?

Yours is for ecommerce tracking, and Erics covers the rest so I would like the two really.

Just thought I would let you know about it anyway.

Thanks in advance,

Heathenmagic

You wrong. Both module tracking ecommerce and the rest. The Erics module is based on older version of my module.
Use only one module. Erics support is best!
