[CMS] Google Analytics code... where does it go?

[sunkapoor22]

<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">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-12059730-4");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>

I added the above code to the VERY END in the footer template, and I get the following error by vbulletin when I save the file:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home6/intraspa/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(4597) : eval()'d code on line 131

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

If I ignore the error and continue, the web site doesn't look pretty at all. Please advice.

Thanks!

You need to add <vb:literal> at the beginning and </vb:literal> at the end.

stupid question: just to make sure, the footer template will capture traffic from all the CMS and forum pages, right? I figured it was fine for the Forum just wasn't totally sure if the CMS used the same footer template.

thanks

The footer is on all pages. You may select to use different styles in the CMS or Blog or Forums, so make sure you put the code in the footer template of the styles you are using.

There is a nifty mod at vbulletin.org that allows you to easily add the Google Analytics code to your pages without all of the fuss. -- Rik
