Simple Google Analytics - Support

I am having trouble registering the page in 1.5. Has anyone had success? and if so what values did you use?

Thanks in advance

I figured it out
I had to define the value I was using in the language_key field

hello, i was going to install this module , got my files transfered , my theme is andover_modern...

/includes/templates/andover_modern/common/tpl_main_page.php

does not exist , so where am i to put the code that's supposed to go there ?

You should make a copy of the file from /includes/templates/classic/common/tpl_main_page.php and put it in /includes/templates/andover_modern/common/tpl_main_page.php and then edit that file.

My time is up for editing my question above, and (of course) I found a refinement to the question, so here it is:
I did start to get data, so perhaps it all had to percolate through the system. However, I am still not getting the data on conversion from my tpl_main_page.php. I know how many people came in because of paid advertising but did they buy anything? That is the question I can't answer. I must have a problem somewhere but I don't know where it is. I still wonder if the area above is not filled in correctly with my Conversion Tracking Number.

However, there is a small catch that worries me. The explanation on the Simple Google Analytics Module indicates that the Google Adwords Conversion Tracking number is 11 digits long, mine is only 10. Is there some extra number that you can put on the end of it? Have I chosen the wrong tracking number? I got it from this line of code that Google generated:

var google_conversion_id = XXXXXXXXXX;

I don't need the ; at the end do I? Thanks.

Ok, just getting back to this thread here.

Google may have altered the conversion tracking number (more or less) so don't fret over the actual length of it.

Two things to consider:

1. Make sure you are using the conversion tracking ID provided from within Google AdWords (NOT analytics) if you are tracking PPC. You are correct in pulling it from the snippet of code Google generated for you.

2. The only time you would ever see the conversion tracking code is (you'll always see the analytics code) is if a visitor FIRST clicks on an ad of yours and then (during that exact same visit) completes a purchase. If they do not complete the purchase on that visit, then the conversion tracking for PPC will not trigger on Google ends (which is correct.)

Having said that in #2 above, and providing you have the proper tracking ID as mentioned in #1 above, then if you do not see any sales on the AdWords end from PPC, your PPC is not generating them (meaning the traffic coming to your site is not buying from that channel.)

That is not to say that PPC does not work (it VERY much does when optimized) it just means you need to refine how yoru PPC is setup and managed. If you want more information on this, feel free to send me a private message. I manage a number of PPC campaigns for a lot of stores and have an excellent track record at managing them so they convert and provide positive ROI.

Let me know if this helps.

Glad you got it working. Thanks for posting the solution.

Hello

I am running zen cart v1.3.9h and Mysql 5.5

I installed all the files and edited the tpl_main_page file

i then tried to install the SQL commands in Admin but got an error

1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 1
in:
[CREATE TABLE google_analytics_languages ( languages_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', code char(10) NOT NULL default '', sort_order int(3) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (languages_id), KEY idx_languages_name_zen (name) ) TYPE=MyISAM;]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Any help please

thanks

Try using this and let me know if it works:

CREATE TABLE google_analytics_languages ( languages_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', code char(10) NOT NULL default '', sort_order int(3) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (languages_id), KEY idx_languages_name_zen (name) ) ENGINE=MyISAM;

Could someone please @ least give me a guesstimate that would be worth trying ? I'd really like to track my conversions.

This module works with ANY template layout. So long as you set it up correctly it will work.

Hi Eric

Thanks for a great mod. I've been using it for a long time on an old store :)

I'm just setting up a new store with 1.5 and cannot work out what settings to use in the Admin Page Registration screen.

I did spot someone else had the problem but figured it out themselves. However, I'm not having that much luck!! I've not actually tried anything yet, I simply don't know where to draw the information needed for:
Page Key:
Page Name:
Page Filename:
PageParameters:

Could you shed some light on it for me (and others) please? As I'm having another dumb. latenight, trying to code moment!

Many thanks and kind regards
Natty

I'm going to have a guess at:

Page Key: Simple Google Analytics
Page Name: ??? - not sure of this one
Page Filename: ??? - or this one
Page Parameters: gID=34 (Looked up in phpMyAdmin configuration_group)
Menu: Configuration
display: checked
sort order: 0

FYI you can also access the page via URL rather than the config menu, eg:

http://www.yourstore.co.uk/youradmin/configuration.php?gID=34

I too need to know what to enter in to the admin page registration page in admin on 1.5.

I'm using Zen Cart 1.5, which I am in the process of upgrading my 1.3.9h site to. Simple Google Analytics 1.2.2 was installed on the old site.

I downloaded version 1.2.5 of Simple Google Analytics, renamed the admin folder to the name of my admin folder, renamed "your_template" to the name of my template and uploaded my files. I followed the instructions in the README_UPGRADE-TO-1-2-5.txt file and successfully ran the UPGRADE-toversion-1-2-4.sql patch. The Google Analytics code is appearing correctly on my site, but I don't have the Google Analytics Configuration entry on the Configuration menu on the Admin pages.

Is that what ksookma is talking about with the Admin Page Registration?

What am I missing?

TIA

Change TYPE=ISAM to ENGINE=ISAM

I am using 1.5 version as well. Please someone explain what values to use in Admin Page Registration.

:dontgetit
what is language_key? where to find it?

jameszxc:

I am using zen-cart 1.39H
I did everything according to the readme.tex, and I can see "Google Analytics Configuration"in the admin page! but on the bottom of my site it shows:pageTracker._trackPageview(); pageTracker._trackPageLoadTime();

Have the same issue. Everyting seems to be working ok except it is showing this at the bottom of each page:

pageTracker._trackPageview(); pageTracker._trackPageLoadTime();

Any ideas?

Just did fresh install on a new site of mine. Version 1.5.0. I installed this mod and cannot get anything to happen once i install the sql patch. Looks like im in the same boat as the previous posts. Need the information for the Admin Page Registration.

The SQL patch did not import correctly during my installation, citing a syntax error instead.

In response to several postings of this nature:
[QUOTE]
1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 1
in:
[CREATE TABLE [?QUOTE]
In trying to research the 1064 error where the MySQL tables have not accepted the sql patch, I ran across an answer in this thread.

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=689865

This question seems to pop up in a great many threads where people are installing modules. It probably should have a thread of its own.

Notageek

what is language_key? where to find it? Good question as I don't know either.

Step by Step the Admin
How & what do you put in each section?

Mine never appeared on config after installing this mod

so if all new plugin's require this I would like to know the
meaning of each section in the Admin.

   Page Key              (e.g. myModPageName)     
        Page Name              (e.g. BOX_MY_MOD_PAGE_NAME)     
        Page Filename              (e.g. FILENAME_PAGE_NAME)     
        Page Parameters              (e.g. option=1 or, more usually, leave blank)     
        Menu                         
        Display on Menu?            
        Sort Order

Page Key= The Name of the New Setting?
Page Name? for the title pages or is it the same as above?
Page Filename? is this like a .EXE or .PHP the executes the setting? where are they usually held? admin/includes/functions?
Page Parameters ? No Idea
sort order ? I didn't know the rest of the zen cart settings were sorted so I would need to know the order of whats there now so I don't understand this setting at all.
HELP! lol

Still no luck I read all 172 posts to no avail & re downloaded the mod. I am not recieving errors anywhere! google looks to be finding the code & the sql patch went in I even checked my PHPadmin. It's all there except for tables for config settings looks like Language & groups went it. The config setting are still not showing in my admin panel do I have to name my folder back to ADMIN before I run patch? I have it renamed to something differnt for security. :censored: Frustration is setting in. One more shot at this if anyone have another suggestion to try. if not this mod is coming out & I will put the basic code back in my INDEX.PHP file.

Ok now I am seeing all the tables in MYPHPadmin but still not in admin panel
