Tracking Code

[tropiland]

Hello to all,

I've been trying to add my StatCounter code

<!-- Start of StatCounter Code -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var sc_project=xxxxxxx; 
var sc_invisible=1; 
var sc_partition=50; 
var sc_click_stat=1; 
var sc_security="74a18a15"; 
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter.js"></script><noscript><div class="statcounter"><a title="hit counter" href="http://www.statcounter.com/" target="_blank"><img class="statcounter" src="http://c.statcounter.com/xxxxxx/x/xxxxxxx/x/" alt="hit counter" ></a></div></noscript>
<!-- End of StatCounter Code -->

and my Analytics 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">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxxx-x");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>

 

by simply incerting it into the end of the footer.php file but keep on getting errors. Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong and/or what other code do I need to incert with the above tracking code to make it work?

 

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

modify the footer.php file in the /catalog/includes/ folder

What does "modify" the footer.php file mean? I've been modifying by entering the code at the end but I get error messages all the time. Can you tel me how to enter the tracking code into the footer.php without getting those error messages?

Thanx

The only reason you can be getting errors is if you're inserting it into a PHP section of the code.

 

If all else fails, try putting the code AFTER the closing PHP tag at the end of the file:

 

?>

And a word to the wise, if you have SSL enabled, your stat counter script will cause the "non-secure" items popup in IE.

:(

 

But there are ways around that.

 

Post if you need help doing that.

Jim,

 

I was also having trouble adding my stat counter code to my footer.php file. I then added the code after the closing PHP tag at the end of the file per your suggestion. It seems to be working that way. How I go about getting rid of the "non-secure" popup?

 

Thanx,

Donna

<?php
 if ( $request_type == 'NONSSL' ) {
?>

******** DELETE THIS LINE AND PUT YOUR STAT COUNTER CODE HERE ********

<?php
 }
?>

Thanx,
