Good to know this worked for you. I'd like to add that this is part of a trend; more mods will be released by SMF Customization Team in due course

Thank you this is the arabic translated

Code Select Expand


$txt['googleAnalyticsCode'] = 'كود تحليلات قوقل<br /><span class="smalltext">E.g. UA-00000000-0</span>';
$helptxt['googleAnalyticsCode'] = 'هنا تضيف كود تحليلات قوقل الخاص بك, e.g. UA-00000000-0 بالتحديد كما قدمته قوقل لك, بعدها ستضاف تحليلا قوقل الى المنتدى من اجلك.';

Never used the Google Analytics Code before.   When signing up, it gives you a code to put on your forum.  Do I still need to do this? 

Or, do I simply take out the UA string and put it in the textbox here once I install this mod?

Or, do I do both?  (If I have to do something else other than this mod, where do I paste the code that google gave me?)

Sorry, like I said.  N00b here regarding this.

[Arantor]

As part of the code Google Analytics gives you, there is a small reference code unique to you, in the form of UA-00000000-1. You simply add that into the box provided in the admin panel.

[Paracelsus]

For those that already have Analytics with the
script hard-coded in index.template.php, do we have to remove it entirely from the code to use this Mod?

[Arantor]

All this mod does is add the code you already have in index.template.php.

[donelson]

Excellent mod! Must try it out!

Thanks - would the "E.g." part not be translated to Arabic?

[checkmater]

Is the Google Analytics code not functional for the admin or is functional to all users?

[Arantor]

The admin is the one who sets the GA code, but it appears in the page for every user.

It doesn't add anything visible to the page, but adds the GA tracker so that when you go to the Google Analytics homepage you can view your forum's stats.

fantastic mod.  I was taking the easy way out, and putting the google analytics script in the global footer, but it has always acted a bit odd.  I took it as karmic backwash for being lazy.    I installed the mod and pulled the script out of the footer last night, and my numbers in google analytics today are tracking like I would expect.

thanks for the great mod.

Hi, I've just created a new Google Analytics account, entered the given code, but on the google analytics page it says: Tracking not installed ... Anyone knows, what the problem could be ?

Thanks

[Arantor]

Can I see a link to your forum please?

[JasonDD]

I found out what the problem was eventually. The GoogleA code had been put just into the default theme, not the core theme, which I was using during installation. So I'll probably just add the code manually.

[Arantor]

If you're using 2.0, you can uninstall it, and reinstall it to the default plus other themes using the bottom section in the package manager when it displaying the test results.

[JasonDD]

Sorry for the confusion, I forgot about that option to select other themes during installation, thanks for your help

good mod.
