Simple Google Analytics - Support
<?php if (GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_TRACKING_TYPE == "Asynchronous") { // Do nothing } else { require($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'google_analytics') . '/google_analytics.php'); } ?></body>notageek:
Hi, Countrycharm, thanks very much for your help.
So far, I have checked the installed code that used to work, and I am wondering why the code you mention is not the same; and also, why you have not mentioned the code that is in the html_header.php file.
In my tpl_main_page.php file I have this code--is it really wrong if it used to work?

}

Secondly, following your suggestion, I tried to see if my site was receiving tracking, and although so far I cannot see where to edit my site data, I saw that it says "Tracking not installed."
I'm still trying to see where to find out how to install the tracking in Google Analytics, because in my site it does have the tracking code entered in Admin, and it used to track. I now recall that I did change the Google Analytics view to the new version, and am wondering if that has any relationship to losing ability to track my site.
I will just keep looking around the Google Analytics site to see if I can get somewhere. At the moment it takes me everywhere but where the answers are, it seems. I will let you know if I get somewhere with this problem, but in the meantime just have the curiosity about why my tracking code is different from the one you suggest, and why you do not mention the html_header.php tracking code.

OK I figured out how to use the reply now....lol This is for you.

Let me say this to you. Since version 1.2.5 the html_header.php is no longer needed. The code for Simple Google Analytics in that file can be deleted. Here is the upgrade instruction to get it to work for your site. Yes the change in code is needed.

Designed for: Zen Cart v1.5.0.
UPGRADING FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF SIMPLE GOOGLE ANALYTICS:
!!!BACKUP!!! ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN UP TO DATE BACKUP OF YOUR FILES and MySQL DATABASE BEFORE INSTALLING
You should test this on TEST SITE before going live!!!!!!!Upgrading Simple Google Analytics from 1.3x compatible version to v1.5.0 ready version.
Unzip the contribution.
Open the zen_1.5.0 and then the upgrade folder.
Change the admin folder name to match the name of your custom directory and ftp to your sever.
Run the included 1-5-0_upgrade.sql using the Zen-Cart Sql Patches tool (admin -> tools -> install sql patches)
For best results, copy-and-paste the code into the query field and press 'Send'.
Delete the files in admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes/ (these files are now obsolete and should be deleted in their entirety!!)NOTE: If you were using a previous version (1.2.x) of Google Analytics (prior to 1.2.3) then you'll need to change the code in the previous locations
At the bottom of /includes/templates/[your_template]/common/tpl_main_page.php
Find the lines of code that look like this (found below) just before the </body> tag:

<?php

// Do nothing
} else {
require(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'google_analytics/google_analytics.php');
}
?>
<?php /* Begin Simple Google Analytics */ if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'popup_image,popup_image_additional,popup_cvv_help,popup_coupon_help,popup_attributes_qty_prices,popup_search_help,popup_shipping_estimator')) ) { //Skip outputting the tracking code as this is a pop-up window } else { // Print tracking code to page if (GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_TRACKING_TYPE == "Asynchronous") { require($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'google_analytics') . '/google_analytics.php'); } } // end if for page determination /* End Simple Google Analytics */ ?>6.) In Version 1.2.5 a new override file is being used so there are a few lines of code you need to remove from a file (altered in previous versions) on your site.
This override file prevents the need for altering the 'html_header.php" file (as in some earlier versions.)After uploading all files to the server do the following:
6a) Open the file found at: /includes/templates/[your_template]/common/html_header.php
6b) Find the lines that look like this just before the </head> tag and REMOVE them (delete). Save the file and re-upload to your server.
