Simple Google Analytics - Support

solo_400:

Is this module compatible with 1.5.1 version of Zencart ?

Thx

Yes it is compatible with 1.5.1. I have a new version complete here that will be released shortly which has a number of other enhancements added.

i tried to install the google analytics by andrew but it doesn't seem to work in my 1.5.1. it doesn't appear in the configuration in my admin

You have not installed it as per installation instruction. Print out instructions and read each step closely. If installed correctly it works.

This is not the support thread for that add-on. This support thread is for the Simple Google Analytics module found here: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=272

The two are different.

Hello. I am currently on version 1.3.9e. Which is the best version for me to install?
Sorry if this was answered elsewhere. Thanks!

Hi All,

I have just installed this and I'm having issues with the sql install - Issue being....what is the code i need to copy...I think I'm missing something or overseeing it.

Can anyone help?

Zen: 1.5.1

The package comes with an SQL file for installation. Copy and paste that into your admin (SQL Patches Section)

Let me know if that helps.

Good day,

I am running 1.5.1 and just installed simple Google Analytics module. The code does appear at the bottom of each page and Google does indicate that it is receiving information but the traffic registration went to zero according to Google Analytics chart. Is there any way instantly verify that the module does function properly and does transmit data to Google as designed.

Thank you.

HI, I followed the install guide, had to paste in the sql code for step 4 to work. However when I got to configuration->google analytics I don't see google analytics under configuration menu?

Any assistance appreciated.

I'm having the same issue. However, GA is showing my activity on my site using Real-Time tracking even though I didn't include any GA number. Might be because my store is a sub-directory of my main site and it's just sectioning that tracking automatically. Store's under construction, so no commerce/conversion data, or other visitors besides myself.

• Fresh install of 1.5.1, just getting setup.

Hi Eric,

I have been using SGA with my v 1.50 store and it has been working fantastic except for one issue.

When I track my sales transactions, almost all shows my own site or PayPal as a referral for the source. Is there any why to fix this and seeing correct traffic source for each transaction (i.e. Google organic, direct, etc...)

Thanks for your advice in advance.

If you are not seeing the configuration menu for Google Analytics and you are using Zen 1.5x then the pages have likely not been registered in the admin yet. What version of the Simple Google Analytics are you using?

That sounds like something in the way of the tracking snippet itself is not right or 'customized'. What version of SGA are you using? Are you utilizing any of the 'custom code' configuration items (like adding custom tracking after any point in the snippet)?

Hey Eric I have a question for you. Why doesn't the new Google tracking code work (Asynchronous) work.
When I activate that one the Google Analytics code doesn't load at the bottom of the tpl_main_page.php page.
(Urchin) works just fine but (Asynchronous) don't. This is kinda strange don't you think. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I've installed this, and am not getting any errors, but cannot tell if it's working or not.
On my Google Analytics page, I see "Upgrade to Universal Analytics", and also, to the right of my Tracking ID, a messages that says:

Status: **Tracking Not Installed
Last checked: Nov 8, 2013 1:25:57 PM PST
The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your website's home page. For Analytics to function, you or your web administrator must add the code to each page of your website.

Do I need to convert to Universal, or maybe I missed something?
Thanks.

I solved my problem. I had used an old template folder by accident, rather than the current, newer one, that I had installed about a year ago. Once I changed that, and copied the appropriate files there, it worked, and I immediately saw a test transaction.

Glad to hear you got it working!

It should work (I've got it running on a number of sites just fine.) The Async code should show at the top of the page (not the bottom). Have you looked there to see if it exists yet? If it doesn't exist, do you have any type of affiliate tracking system in place? Sometimes this plays with the code a little and there is a slight adjustment you need to do to make that work. I've been working for a long time here on a completely new Simple Google Analytics module that includes a lot of new features Google now offers. It has taken some time as I am including in it the ability to 'check the install' to make sure users install it correctly (and the install is now as 'automatic' as possible). I really wanted to have this out a few months back, but need to get these last few items in place before I feel comfortable releasing it (I've got it running on a few of my own sites now that I work with but have yet to release it to the general public.)

Let me know answers to the above questions and I'll see if I can help you figure out why the tracking code is not showing on your site.

Hi Eric I changed it back to the Async code again to check and now it's showing up. Strange but all seems to be working now. No affiliate tracking system but adwords. I have to see if it is going to collect data. Thanks for your time.

If you need another tester for the one your working with now send it to me I'll test it for you.

Hi. I've been using google anaysis for a while. Last week, I was reading google had an updated version (universal tracking) so I started the upgrade. After a few days I got my new google tracking code. Here is where I screwed up.

1. I forgot that under my configuration menu, I had a nice place to update my tracking code. Instead, my brain said "i should put it in the footer".
2. I edited /includes/templates/mytemplate/common/tpl_footer.php. I put it near the end, right before some code for a google campaign. I saved it. I cleared my cache and viewed my home page and now on the bottom is writes some code:

pageTracker._trackpageView(.......

3. I went back to take the code out and start again and the code wasn't there. I still had my CuteScapeFTP set to that file so I was like what the heck. I manually looked in the header fiile but it wasn't there either. Now my brain is stumped, where did that code code. It must be somewhere cause it was causing weird things to happen.

4. I used the tools/developers toolkit to search for the code PageTracker and found it in google_analytics.php. The code is:
   echo "
   pageTracker._trackPageview();
   pageTracker._trackPageLoadTime();
   ";

So I figured that something was missing that it was now echoing to the screen instead of where it should be.

4. This was when I remembered that I installed that module. So I went to menu->configure google analytics and turned off the custom code section. THe message goes away on my page. If I turn it on, it comes back. I replace the code with the code google gave me, turned it on but still got the writing so I turned it off again.

Then I found this discussion where it seems like you guys have it working. My questions are:

1. Where the heck did the code go that I pasted in step 2?
2. What should I do now? Do I need to uninstalled google_analytics and reinstall it?

I am trying to be logical and methodical but I screwed up and forgot to backup my footer file before i started. I have a backup but wasn't sure how old it was. The dates do something weird when I download from my server using FTP (that is on my list to fix). My server has a backup of today but that will cost me $35.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help in advance.
