Simple Google Analytics - Support

Yes, thank you, Eric,

That ran just fine. I got the message "39 statements processed", and now all the expected settings for Google Analytics including the conversion settings appear on the configuration menu.

Now I'll dive in and try setting it up. But since my GA account is already receiving data from my hand-inserted version, I probably won't know anything until I put it into production and wait to see if I continue to get the usual level of data. I'll also try a "Check Status" in GA, but I don't know if that will tell me anything at this point.

Again, many thanks!

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

Great. Glad to hear that Alan. Yes, 39 Statements is correct for that patch.

I uploaded a patched version the other night to the Contributions section (with the only change being the updated SQL query).

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

Hi I wonder if anyone can offer me some suggestions.

I've installed the files and uploaded the sql patch as per the instructions (the only thing i did different was to rename the your_template folder and although it doesn't seem to say to do this in the read-me i've read elsewhere that i was right to do this)

The 39 statements thing appears when i ran the patch.

only thing is that no configuration->google analytics configuration appears in the config menu in my admin.

any ideas what is wrong. I've done everything else as far as i can see in the instructions.

Thanks by the way for the mod (hopefully i get it working :-) )

What did you name "your_template" to?

Those files should be uploaded to YOUR own CUSTOM template directory name (assuming you are running a custom template).

So, for example, if the name of your custom (overrides) folder is "my_template" then you should upload all files in the "your_template" folder to the "my_template" folder on your server.

If you are not running a custom template (or using overrides as is recommended) then you would upload the files in that folder to the "default_template" or "classic" folders (depending on which of those two templates you are using).

Make sense?

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

yeah, I understand the template system and have the files in the correct places. I've gone to each individual folder to check the correct files are in the correct places.

Weird

when i ran the sql patch it said the statements were processed. Should i try to run it again or will that bugger things up? (not too sure when it comes to DBs)

thanks

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

just a thought but the only other thing that was out of the ordinary when i ran the sql patch was that my admin log needed to be reset. Would that have in someway affected the patch?

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

No. Th admin log doesn't have anything to do with the contribution. That log gathers contents the more you work in the admin (no matter what you are doing). Depending on how you have it set, and when you reach the limits, you'll need to reset it.

That is a feature of Zen Cart in general and has nothing directly related to the contribution other than the fact that you are working in the Admin during that time (just like anything else in the admin).

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

There is no need to run the patch again. If it said 39 statements processed then that worked as expected.

You can run the script again, and it won't mess anything up, but it won't fix anything in this case either (the problem is not in the SQL queries, but with missing files). Upon reinstall, it uninstalls itself though (unless you are upgrading) so you will need to re-enter your Google ID etc....

The problem of items not showing in the drop downs are not due to the database updates. It is do in whole to some missing files (meaning you either uploaded them to the wrong directories, or did not upload all of them).

Make sure you carefully read the step-by-step instructions that came with it and re-check that you uploaded all files to the proper directories. Once you get the location of those worked out, the configuration information will show in your navigation.

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

There are only 4 files? is that right? I've re-downloaded the mod, re-installed it a few times, done everything in the read-me. checked each folder to make sure the files are in the appropriate places but still configuration->google analytics configuration does not appear in the admin

Has no-one else every had this problem. I'm running the most up to date version of zencart

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

No other reported problems of this at all.

If you want me to take a look at it PM me the login details to your server (FTP) and the Admin login as well.

Should be a real quick fix.

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

For the record and in case anyone else experiences this problem (spoke about a few posts ago with Barricades)

Hi I wonder if anyone can offer me some suggestions.

I've installed the files and uploaded the sql patch as per the instructions (the only thing i did different was to rename the your_template folder and although it doesn't seem to say to do this in the read-me i've read elsewhere that i was right to do this)

The 39 statements thing appears when i ran the patch.

Thanks by the way for the mod (hopefully i get it working :-) )

Here is the solution. I spoke via PM with barricades and it turned out that the addition of a contribution that allowed various Admin access controls was the culprit.

Nothing was wrong with that contribution at all, the "access" to that newly installed module (Simple Google Analytics) had to be "allowed" for the user in order to get it to show in the Admin drop down box.

Here is the exact reply form barricades in case anyone else needs it:

Wait... found out what the problem was.

I have recently installed a mod which allowed you to change admin permissions.

for some reason it must default to not allow the admin to use 3rd party contributions.

I only found out this when i tryed to use easy populate!

Hope this post helps others out that may run across this.

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

The mod in question is Admin Profiles (support thread and download). It is an awesome contribution if you have more than one person accessing the admin area but does seem to cause a lot of problems with people who forget that they've got it installed!

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

No problem. I just took a previous version and upgraded it with a few new additions and added some more detailed instructions.

Again, glad you like it, and thanks for using it. I enjoy doing my part to help the cart advance forward. I try to keep the instructions for all my mods as "non-technical" as possible to aid in installation (although that can be tough at times).

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

I am creating an order form (using Quick Order Module) for Firehouse Subs Restaurants to order all of their hot sauces on our approved list. however, I have already used this module to create an quick order form for all of our customers to use. I modified the filenames, extra datafiles, language files, template files, and header.php from "quick_order" to "fhs_quick_order" and QUICK_ORDER to "FHS_QUICK_ORDER" in their respective places and the module will work and add items to the cart. however I am receiving some errors at the bottom of the page that I cannot figure out.

Warning: main(includes/templates/classic/fhs_quick_order//google_analytics.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/hotshots/public_html/includes/templates/classic/common/tpl_main_page.php on line 180

Warning: main(includes/templates/classic/fhs_quick_order//google_analytics.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/hotshots/public_html/includes/templates/classic/common/tpl_main_page.php on line 180

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/templates/classic/fhs_quick_order//google_analytics.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/hotshots/public_html/includes/templates/classic/common/tpl_main_page.php on line 180

My first instinct was to check my install of google analytics, but everthing seems fine there and I am not getting any other errors on any other pages. Can you please help me? The forms work, but I am slightly embarased by the errors on the bottom of the page. You can see them here:
http://hotshotshotsauce.com/index.php?main_page=fhs_quick_order

I am running version 1.1.1 of the google analytics module

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

The error you are getting means you are missing a file (or have placed it in the wrong location). That is what the "no such file or directory" part means.

As far as your exact error:

Warning: main(includes/templates/classic/fhs_quick_order//google_analytics.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/hotshots/public_html/includes/templates/classic/common/tpl_main_page.php on line 180

Check the two parts I have listed in red.

  1. You have a double slash in the include portion. You should only have one slash

  2. If you are not using the classic template for your web store, then that would explain why it says "no such file or directory". The link in red points to the classic folder.

If you use a custom folder, you'll want to make sure you installed the analytics include there.

Once you get the include portion into the correct "tpl_main_page.php", it should solve the rest of your errors. They all stem from the same thing.

My advice would be to go back and make sure you uploaded the files to the correct locations.

Re: Simple Google Analytics - Support

That actually doesn't have anything to do with Google Analytics (the contribution), or any other contribution for that matter. You are seeing it because your browser is configured to see it (read on to see what I mean).

You probably are using Firefox browser to view it right? Well, the newest version of Firefox came built in with Google's "Safe Browsing" extension. Although you may not have updated your browser recently, it probably updated itself when you restarted it. When it updated, you got the new Google extension with it.

Here are a few links that talk about it.

http://knaddison.com/technology/sb-ssl-google-com-security-domain-name-mismatch

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/internet/firefox/fix-security-error-domain-name-mismatch-warning-in-firefox/

The best thing you can do is to download the following Firefox add-on and install it. Then when you get one of these annoying messages (and providing you actually DO trust the site listed in the box), then you simply checkmark the "don't show me" (or some similar wording) to not show it for that again.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2131

Hope that helps. :)

By the way, you may want to check the layout of your site on various resolutions and computers. It is completely "out of whack" on my computer here -- especially the navigational elements.
