Google Analytics

How do you install Universal analytic in PS 1.5?

My understanding is there is a new tracking code so the std GA module PS uses doesn't work correctly.

I assumed it would be as easy as adding the script into the header.tpl pr footer but the page doesn't render at all. 

 

Any one managed to install Universal analytics and it works correctly?

you pasted code to the header.tpl?

you probably forgot about {literal}{/literal} tags

 

 

use them, something like:

 

{literal}

google analytics code

{/literal}

Thanks for that, I didn't 'forget' the literal tags I just had know idea I was meant to use them!

Page renders fine now, but not showing up any real time stats currently. I'll report back later if it worked fully.

 

Cheers for your help.

I just switched to the new Universal Analytics.  I added my ID to the google analytics module 1.4.3 in PS 1.5.6.1 & that is seen OK.

 

Am I right to assume I also need to add the correct version of the below into a header.tpl 

{literal}
<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-000000-0', 'blah-blah.com');
  ga('send', 'pageview');

</script>
{/literal}

Which header.tpl exactly?  

 

Thanks in advance.

somewhere between <header></header> tags

Thanks for the reply, I meant which header.tpl, there are a fair few of them dotted about...

Only the tpl in ganalytics? Sorry if that sounds dumb!

Not sure which tpl covers everything that Google wants to look at.

[vekia]

ohh sorry for misunderstanding

 

i mean this file:

/themes/YOUR_THEME/header.tpl

where YOUR_THEME is a name of template that you use

[jcmil]

OK that makes sense.  Thanks for taking the time to reply
