Google Analytics not working and Spoke with Google.

Danielc1234 Total Posts: 175 Joined: 2008-01-09 Miami, FL - United States Ignore user	Not sure if this is a bug or not, but when I enter my Google Analytic number, etc. into Magento, Google cannot verify. I spoke with a tech at Google and he told me the coding is wrong within Magento. Is there a way around this or is there a fix to this problem?

If I knew where that was, I have the script that is the correct script and maybe I can modify it to work. Thanks

That would help you log a bug on Magento ...or for others in the community to investigate a bit more...Strange, I am aware of a number of sites already live and am surprised this never came up till now ...have you searched the forums for more threads like this?

I was only told by Google that the script that shows on the source code is not the proper code. So if I knew where it was programmed, I could hopefully drop in the proper code in place and get it to work.

etho201 Total Posts: 85 Joined: 2008-04-03 Summerville, SC Ignore user	I’ve noticed that Google Analytics tells you that your account number is XX-XXXXXXX but then when they tell you to paste code to your page they tell you to paste it as XX-XXXXXXX-1… and that worked for me, as soon as I put the -1 at the end of my account number in the Magento admin everything works fine.

karynn Total Posts: 70 Joined: 2008-02-07 Ignore user	I updated the \app\code\core\Mage\GoogleAnalytics\Block\Ga.php file and it now seems to be working. Before <!-- BEGIN GOOGLE ANALYTICS CODE --> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www."); [removed]("\<script src=\'" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js\' type=\'text/javascript\'>\<\/script>" ); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("' . $this->getAccount() . '"); pageTracker._initData(); pageTracker._trackPageview("' . $this->getPageName() . '"); </script> <!-- END GOOGLE ANALYTICS CODE --> After <!-- BEGIN GOOGLE ANALYTICS CODE --> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www."); [removed](unescape("<script src=\'" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js\' type=\'text/javascript\'></script>")); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("' . $this->getAccount() . '"); pageTracker._initData(); pageTracker._trackPageview(); </script> <!-- END GOOGLE ANALYTICS CODE -->

karynn Total Posts: 70 Joined: 2008-02-07 Ignore user	Ugh, I just noticed I’m getting a JavaScript error in IE7: Error: ‘_gat’ is undefined Anyone know a workaround for this? Other than reverting back to the older tracking code?
