Re: Tracking code insertion

[TheBom]

When i add my code before the </head> in this file i get a 500 error on every page of the forum.
It is almost the same as the code on the opening post, difference is ofcourse my own instance link in it.

Any advice?

Which is it, 2.0 or 2.1? You posted this on both support boards.

Change the ' for " and you should be good to go.

for? Where is that?

When i'm looking in the default theme index.template.php, on rule 188 there is a </head>
When i paste this code before this line the whole forum gives a 500 error.

<!-- Matomo -->
<script>
  var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || [];
  /* tracker methods like "setCustomDimension" should be called before "trackPageView" */
  _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
  _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
  (function() {
    var u="https://stats.mywebsite.com/";
    _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'matomo.php']);
    _paq.push(['setSiteId', '1']);
    var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    g.async=true; g.src=u+'matomo.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
  })();
</script>
<!-- End Matomo Code -->

In the code you have, there are several single quotes. You need to replace them all with double quotes.

Since you are inserting it into PHP code that *also* has single quotes, that's why it breaks, because you end up intermeshing PHP and JavaScript.

Oh! That simple... Thank you it works!

Please don't piggyback on someone else's support thread.  Especially since the other thread was literally years old.

And yeah....  you can't just paste code randomly.
