Google Analytics Tag Question

[delta5]

Hi guys,
I started a Google ad campaign for my forum. Google Analytics needs me to install a code snippet. What file would I add that to to work correctly?

That would be in the index.template.php of whatever theme you're using.

Find:

Code Select Expand


</head>


Add your code just before

install it on index.template for the theme you're using.. put it right above the </html> (closing html) tag and below the </body> (closing body) tag.  make sure and comment out the ' by using backward leaning slash.. i.e.:

Code Select Expand


<script> 'blahblah' 'blah' </script>


should be commented so it doesn't wreck your php like:

Code Select Expand


<script> \'blahblah\' \'blah\' </script>



as Mick said it CAN go in the head, but... it will have to be processed before rendering the site, where as when it's at the foot and 'under the fold' it doesn't.  either will work.

OK thanks very much!

Inside the forum admin section, it breaks up that template into several sections by line number. Where would the best place to put it be? In the last section at the bottom?

we dont recommend using the editor in the admin panel. you should download the file and modify it and upload it back to your server.

ok, thanks. Now to find that file lol
