Any way to use Google Analytics with SMF

[ekfaysal]

As question says is there Any way to use Google Analytics  with SMF?

[NickC]

Put the Google Analytics code immediately before the </body> tag in index.template.php. If you allow members to choose themes, put it in all of them. Have a look at the source on my forum.

Looking at your forums page source it appears you've been able to do this?

If this is solved feel free to mark it as solved otherwise reply with some details of what isn't working.  To mark an issue solved please change the first post message icon to the 'tick' icon.

I have Analytics on my board and all i did was install the Ad Management Mod and create a "Footer" ad to put my footer on the board and put the Analytics code in there.  Works fine for me.

Hi

With so many posts on this forum asking this question I created a blog post for it - in fact it inspired the entire blog.

Here's the solution - please try it out and give me feedback by way of comments:

I know this post is kind of old, but it may still be helpful.

Here is how I solved it on SMF 1.1.8

Code Select Expand

echo '
<div id="ajax_in_progress" style="display: none;', $context['browser']['is_ie'] && !$context['browser']['is_ie7'] ? 'position: absolute;' : '', '">', $txt['ajax_in_progress'], '</div>'
//Begin Google Analytics
        ?><script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-#######-#");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script><?php echo '
</body></html>';

I just added a single quote at the end of the first line, closed out PHP, inserted Google Analytics code, reopened php and continued the echo.  Make sure to replace the # signs towards the end with your UA string.

I've highlighted somethings to try, things that might be your issue.  I had to escape the single quotes when I added mine in as well, works perfect for me.  Oh, and the first bolded line, I'm not sure what's going on there, but it looks like your missing a semicolon at the end of the statement (note the one that is there is commented out in the next line).

I tried using this code but I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in index.template.php on line 352
which looks like its in this line: $txt['ajax_in_progress'], '</div>'

Any suggestions?
