Installing Google Analytics

[Ricochet]

We are installing Google Analytics into our OSCommerce store. Does anyone have experience doing this? We're looking for a straight forward way of adding this javascript code in so that we can track orders thru the system more easily. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

Just add the javascript that google gives you to the includes/footer.php file. That's all there is to it.

Hello Jeff,

 

I'm relatively new to PHP so please forgive my ignorance.

 

The instructions that Google provides for installing their Analytics code are pretty straight forward, you place it right before the '</body>' tag on each page (HTML) that you want data collected on.

 

I realize that osCommerce is dynamically driven and the code placement will be different. What I don't have a clue about is where exactly in the footer.php code should I insert the Analytics snippet?

 

Below is my footer code, would you be so kind as to indicate where to place the Google code?

 

Thanks in advance!

Alfredo
