Adding a stat counter to zencart

I want to add stat counter to a zencart. Usually on a site i have to add the html code to each page.
Where should I add the counter on zencart so it picks up all the pages viewed etc please?

Hi Misty. How are you?
That was what i was thinking but I wasn't sure if the counter would read the different pages or not?
I will give it a go.:smile:

Depends on code you are adding..if your domain/zencart site has an
SSL, and you are calling code from another/outside site/domain
..ssl may not like that

Re: Adding a stat counter to zencart

Which stats counter? I know there is an addon for google analytics that does the whole things, including sales tracking.

Re: Adding a stat counter to zencart

I dont know how to put the script into php anyway so i best leave it I think.
The owner wanted something on it but it is beyond me. Zencart is great but some things are much more difficult than with regular sites.

Re: Adding a stat counter to zencart

IF your stats code is local that ssl wont be a problem,

however is your client aware that running the entire shop under ssl is counter productive,

slower
