For now, please implement the old code.  I'm not quite certain what the limitations or challenges are (beyond time/resources) for implementing the new code, but I do know this has been the solution for multiple sites I have been asked to resolve in this regard.]]> Sun, 07 Jun 2009 13:25:16 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/google-analytics_topic2775_post10157.html#10157 <![CDATA[google analytics : Yea, I kind of figured that......]]> https://forum.productcart.com/google-analytics_topic2775_post10156.html#10156 Author: JWL

Yea, I kind of figured that... that's why I was asking if those GA files were up to date, the inc-GA.asp  file references only a urchin.js
<script src="https://checkout.google.com/files/digital/urchin_post.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

So, I was wondering if the conversion tool would work with the newer ga.js.  I guess they need to update the file to support the new code.

My experience has been that ONLY the old GA code works if you want the ecommerce reports in GA to work.]]> Sun, 07 Jun 2009 12:25:15 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/google-analytics_topic2775_post10155.html#10155 <![CDATA[google analytics : well the conversion tracking isn&#039;t...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/google-analytics_topic2775_post10154.html#10154 Author: JWL

well the conversion tracking isn't working - no big surprise, I didn't expect it to... the GA stats work, can someone confirm if the newer GA conversion tool works with version 3.12v.

I have all the code, outlined in the GA .pdf file including the snippet on the ordercomplete.asp page - it was actually on that page already, I didn't have to add it.

Anyway, I'd like someone to confirm this is working for them, because I don't know how to troubleshoot.  I also enabled the ecommerce store in the GA settings - so I don't know what the issue is.  I've also waited over 24 hours for the conversions to show up.

I don't know, I put this in the footer:

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXXX-X");
pageTracker._trackPageview();

} catch(err) {}</script>
<!--#include file="inc-GoogleAnalytics.asp"-->

And, I enabled ecommerce on the GA settings, so I guess I'll see if the conversions show up when a sale comes in.

Google Analytics reports backs to Google - so it's your Google account you view to see the reports etc.]]> Fri, 05 Jun 2009 17:11:03 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/google-analytics_topic2775_post10143.html#10143 <![CDATA[google analytics : Ok, I used the first code...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/google-analytics_topic2775_post10139.html#10139 Author: JWL

Ok, I used the first code and added this below it: 
<!--#include file="inc-GoogleAnalytics.asp"-->

I guess that's all I do... but I uploaded files to me pcadmin dir, does that 
mean I can view some aspect of GA from my control panel?!  Was this so I can 
adjust for returns and such in the admin panel?

Thanks.

Here is the legacy urchin code:

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
_uacct = "UA-XXXXXXX-X";
urchinTracker();
} catch(err) {}</script>

Should I use this code with the .asp files linked above?!  Thanks!

I am using version 3.12, are these files up to date:

http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/_media/widgets/integrations/googleanalytics/productcart_googleanalytics_101008.zip

They contain the GA files for 3.12 - but I think GA is updated from the Urchin stats it was using, when I just signed up it had the old Urchin stats and a newer code, and I selected the newer code.  Here is a sample of the new code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXXX-X");
pageTracker._trackPageview();

} catch(err) {}</script>


I am most interested in tracking conversions... the instructions in the PDF file linked above seem pretty straight forward, I was just wondering if those files are up to date, thanks!
