Hello,

I'm using Prestashop 1.3.5 and i noticed that if i add google analytics code through built-in module, it doesn't work properly, becuase module adds code into body section (into footer, if i'm being more precise), instead of the head section.

How to fix it? If i add this manually it doesn't work.

Cheers

If i add Google analytics code just before </head> tag, i get server error (500).

Why is that?

Even if i transplant Google Analytics module into Header, it doesn't work, nothing happens, the code is missing when i look for the source code in the browser.

I just hope, this guy in THIS THREAD will fix the problem, cause i'm not that smart =/

Thanks

Google Analytics doesn't go in the header, it must go before the closing </BODY> tag. The reason is that google analytics watches every page that is created and provides stats on every page that is being accessed.

I suggest you take a look at setting up goals within your shop so that you can track each customer that comes to your site.

Well, I didn't use goals, i just pasted the analytics code right before </body> and now i get good results =)

I'll also read more about goals =)

Thanks ;)

[SOLVED] Glad this information helped, google analytics is a powerful tool to help filter down what is being looked at.

Good luck with your shop.

Sorry for the noob question...but how do I add the google analytics code to my website?
In which file is the body tag located?

I think Google changed it's mind, and now it wants to add the code in the header. By other side, the code changed. So, module should be updated.

Now i'm facing the same problem than Housy: i cannot position the module in the Head of Pages. It just wont show up.

Moving GA code to the head section can make your site slow when Google servers are busy. This is the reason why it is recommended (and PS does do) to place GA code to footer.

Where can I find detailed instruction on how to insert the new Google Analytics code? What file does it go to and do I need to uninstall the old Google Analytics Module 1.2? I am using PS 1.3. The old code is causing error messages during checkout.
Thank you.
