[Solved] How to insert Google Analytics code to head.tpl

[need4speed]

I have tried to insert my Google Analytics code to my prestashop.

I have tried to insert the code just before the </head> tag as Google recommends but im getting a smarty error.

How can I insert the code?

 var _gaq = _gaq || [];
 _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxx-25']);
 _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

 (function() {
   var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
   ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
   var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s[removed].insertBefore(ga, s);
 })();

I know Prestashop has a Google Analytics module but its not uptodate for 1.3.6

Hi,

if you search in your modules page you can take a little module called Google Analytics where you can put your site id and he integrate the right code in your site.

I know

But it seems like the code havent been updated.

If I compare the latest Google Analytic code with the one from the pshop module then its not the same.

Ok, but i know you can take a google analytics asynchrone on this forum.

What is asynchrone ?

What is asynchrone ?

it's the new google methode.

You can take this module on http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/63094/modules_tiers/google_analytics__module_avec_tracking_asynchrone

the reason why your page fails after inserting the javascript is because the code contains the { and the } characters. The head.tpl file is pareses by the Smarty template engine and attempts to interpret all instances of { and }. The way to resolve this is to wrap the inserted javascript code in {literal}{/literal} tags. e.g.

{literal}

         var _gaq = _gaq || [];
         _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X']);
         _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

         (function() {
           var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
           ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
           var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s[removed].insertBefore(ga, s);
         })();
       [removed]

{/literal}

Bonjour,
J'ai installé ce module (sur PS 1.4.3) mais je suppose qu'il faut alors désinstaller le module google analytics prestashop d'origine ??
Merci de confirmer

[bluemoon]

@parvati : yeap ! and it works fine for me, using the {literal} (thanks jeckyl)

Hey Jeckyl... the module you linked to works fine, but it throws up an error on my one page checkout custom form....

 

"GA checkout form tracker is turned on, but pageTracker variable is undefined."

 

any ideas what that is or how it can be fixed? I'm running 1.3.x

This problem is link to your module OPC and not this module of google analytics.

 

See with the developper of your module.

thanks! I just disabled the form tracker from my OPC... seems to be working... thanks for the info! Happy New year to you!
