Prestashop uses obsolete Google Analytics code

[Michel Poulain]

Prestashop uses obsolete Google Analytics code.

Here is a patch that works with my production site.

1. _gat._getTracker is deprecated as mentionned here : http://code.google.com/intl/fr-FR/apis/analytics/docs/gaJS/gaJSApi.html

2. _trackTrans() has to be inserted AFTER _trackPageview() not before.
http://code.google.com/intl/fr-FR/apis/analytics/docs/gaJS/gaJSApiEcommerce.html#_gat.GA_Tracker_._trackTrans

3. hookFooter() send 2 instances of _trackPageview() during orders (ganalytics.php line 137).

This is a duplicate of my bug tracker submission http://www.prestashop.com/bug_tracker/view/4872/ as the Bug Tracker interface doesn't display my patch and breaks code.

Here are the patch and the final module patched.

In fact this module uses the traditional snippet wich is deprecated.
I made a module that uses the new (well... not so new now) asynchronous tag
you can find it here :

any feedback appreciated
