Hi all! My first message! Recently I updated from Google Analytics to what is now called Universal Analytics. Just changed the tracking code with a new one they gave me, but it stopped tracking.
I´m using Global Headers and Footers mod to include the code: it just doesn´t work. When I type the code directly on the index.template.php I get some syntax error about the slashes and the quotes...
¿Anybody else with similar problems? Thanks U in advance.
Welcome to the SMF community! Mind pasting the code here that you are trying to get work?
Thank you! Here it is the code:
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-[i]mynumbers[/i]-1', '[i]mywebsite.es[/i]');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
Thanks in advance.

Where exactly are you putting the code ?
I believe the new code should be placed immediately before the
</head> tag.
(Think the old code went before the </body> tag.)
He's using GHF, so there's no control over that.
Anyway, there shouldn't be a template parse error due to that, IIRC GHF should take care of escaping the script text... But I may be mistaken, here...
GHF doesn't escape the text. Incidentally the security changes in 1.1.19 and 2.0.6 will throw a wobbler if you try to embed raw JavaScript via GHF because it smells an XSS hole - precisely because of the anti-XSS header I added.

ga('create', 'UA-mynumbers-1', 'mywebsite.es');
Check that part of your script, as according to GAdev the 3rd parameter (if specified) of a 'create' needs to be a configuration/tracker object:

(PS, I'm no expert - I just did a bit of research in my lunch break. Try just removing the ", '
mywebsite.es'" bit to see )

Hi! Yes, I tried to put the code on both, before head and body, and no luck.
Thanks for taking time to answer, but since I´m not very good at coding I can´t understand so much :-[
Luckily some one creates a mod to make it work O:)
Might be best if you post the syntax error that you are getting and a copy of your index.template.php after you've added the code. ;)
