Google Analytics In Joomla..

I need to insert analytics on my joomla site but not sure how.the couple extensions i looked at looked pretty terrible based on their comments so i tried another that seems good. its the Google Analytics Tracking Module for joomla.

I installed it. but doesnt seem to be working. Google says its retrieving data but I dont see the code when i view source and according to that, i have no visits for today! which is false.

 

Did you add the debug module onto the template? I think that's where the code is placed by default

 

Noo I didn't. I just did and I'll see what happens
thanks homie

 

it's easy to add it to your theme. i dont use any mambot or module for that

 

oh yeah. what file do you add it in so it tracks all my pages? index.php file of my theme?

 

i have just added the code under one of my banners, using a simple module!

 

Just add like my site has it. Works perfectly.
Open the index.php file and scroll down to the bottom and add your analytics code so it will look like this:

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-2034680-9";
urchinTracker();
</script>

</body>
</html>

HTML:

 

you can insert in file index.php in fordel template what you use.
You can login administrator choise template and insert code

 

Oh yeah, sorry. Forgot to add that it's important to add this code to index.php what is located at maincategory/templates/yourtemplate/index.php . Not in the main category index.php.

Thank you.

 

Add it in a html module. Thats how I do it.

 

Paste it into the bottom of index.php on the main site, or the index.php in the templates bit

 

Thanks guys. I don't know why I didn't do that before. Why the hell do they have stupid modules for something so simple?
anyway, i pasted it in there and its retrieving data.

 

Many Joomla users don't know that how easy is to add any code or script in Joomla website, and basically there is really no need to install any Module or Plugin for this kind of tasks.
A very nice Tuorial about Google Analytics for Joomla can be found here

and it shows step by step with screenshots.

 

In your admin panel, go to Site, Template manager, Site Template. Check the radio box right next to the template you are using, click Edit HTML, add analytics code right above /body tag. Cake.
