Support/Comments for Google Analytics

FYI, for anyone that’s curious, the new ga.js tracking code offers:

The new Google Analytics tracking code (ga.js) has been launched and is now available for you to use when you set up a profile. Installing the lighter ga.js code snippet instead of the old tracking code (urchin.js, "legacy") lets you take advantage of upcoming advanced features and sophisticated reporting while keeping the reliable tracking capabilities of urchin.js. For these reasons, we recommend installing ga.js instead of urchin.js.

hey ryan, i’ve added the update.
does it matter that it has my name at the top? please feel free to change that should you wish - i’m not precious!
cheers

Thanks for taking care of that highlander.

Thanks for the update. Everything seems to be working fine.

Hi there,

To all users who have characters with accents (like us, in France with é, è, à and so on..)

New tracker messes up those characters by interprating them with "%c3%a9". In spite of some filters (search and replace), some keywords from search engine are still wrong... so it can show up bad stats. I’ve had to downgrade to the last tracker code for these reasons :/

I need to add extra google analytics code to track downloadable files, how do I add this code to the Modx Google Analytics plugin? I don’t know how to insert the ’pageTracker._trackPageview(’/downloads/map’); ’ in the plugin.

thanks!

Based on a cursory glance at that page @ Google, I’d say all you have to do is add that onclick behavior to the link to the files themselves, and to make sure you’re using the latest version of the plugin code.

I’m having an issue that I’ve not experienced with this snippet before.

MODx v 0.9.6.1
Snippet: Google Analytics v1.3

I’ve followed through the instructions for the snippet and I can see it displaying correctly in my source code on my web pages, but from Google Analytics its not picking up the tracking code in the status.

I’ve had the snippet running for at least 64 hours and I know when I originally had this as a chunk is work straight away but since I’ve switched to the v1.3 snippet is not work as it should.

Slightly confused. Anyone else has this issue?

--Edit: hmm! I feel a big doh right about now! I’ve just tried this again and it works.

I get this same problem. test has to have a value of 1 to get any output. if it is set to 0 it does not add any code.
