Google Analytics

What would be a good file to place Google Analytics code in so that it loads on everypage?

[Oldiesmann]

Put it right before the </body> tag in index.template.php. You'll have to do this for every theme, but it will load on ever page.

Personally, I put the code inside a javascript / html block in Tiny portal. It's been working fine there. I also put it inside my 'shop' .

Analytics is cool.

How long does it take for analytics to update?  I've had the code there for hours and I see no stats yet.

[Niteblade]

Give it at least one day to begin gathering information.

And you'll see all kinds of little dots over your map.

Hello,

I have problem with Google Analytics tracker, the forum returns me an error when I reload it.

I use SMF 1.1.4 and Blue Blaze theme.

Code Select Expand


// The following will be used to let the user know that some AJAX process is running
echo '
<div id="ajax_in_progress" style="display: none;', $context['browser']['is_ie'] && !$context['browser']['is_ie7'] ? 'position: absolute;' : '', '">', $txt['ajax_in_progress'], '</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
[ * * * Google script * * * ]
</script>


</body></html>';

Make sure that all singles quote (') in the google script part have a \ before them.
Should work fine then

Tracking code installed. Thank you, Harro!

What a coincidence - I desperately needed this information just when SMF server got this meltdown. I found numbers of solutions which weren't working. I even searched pages where I couldn't read anything else than these scripts, Arabic, Asian languages, what ever. Internal search is still not working here, but I found this with google search and after trying to do this three days and then see how simple solution there is, makes me wanna scream Thx Harro!

I tried this solution too but it didn't help. I am using "SlickPro" theme from metalcore.
Should I put that slash before EVERY (')   ?

Edit. I got it working... Needs to be JUST before </body>

Good idea with the TP block.

Thank you Harro!

[Lautermilch]

[Arantor]

Can we have some lines before that too?

[iamekim]

Make sure that all singles quote (') in the google script part have a \ before them.

Yes, (\') was missing component. And yes - All.  Thanks a lot. What is, or maybe where is, "Tiny Portal"?
