Google Analytics tutorial not quite right?

rharodigital

Hi

I have a power user account, which I believe allows me to install Google Analytics?

I've reviewed the DGrin tutorial, but the customization page isn't quite like the tutorial, so I'm trying to find my error.

Analytics gives me a "tracking unknown" error. I've tried pasting the "legacy code" and conversely the "new tracking code" options. I've tried pasting it in the "Custom Footer" box and conversely the "Bottom Javascript" box.

Am I trying something unworkable at power account level? Or, did I miss a step in the code copy process?

Thanks!

Andy

The code goes in your footer box. Give us your site name so we can see/ help more

It is:

http://www.rharodigital.smugmug.com/

I remove the http:// in the Analytics account entry since Google adds that back automatically.

Looks okay to me but I'm not a GA expert.

Thanks for checking. I'll let it go for a day or two and whack the side of the computer to see if that helps.

These two screen shots in the tutorial are out of date with the Smugmug UI:



But, if you can find your way around those differences in navigation, the core of the tutorial looks right.

Hi John, I'm aware of that. The OP had the code in the footer box just fine

We'll try and update the tutorial, thanks.

I was responding to the OP that the tutorial looks right to me.

Yup, thanks!
I've sent a request to Ivar & Schmoo to get the tutes updated though, thanks for the reminder!

You really should use the NEW tracking code. It gets a lot more info than the old code.

But, just copy and paste it into the footer box. That's it. It'll work. There's no reason why it wouldn't be working now, on the old code.

It seems I needed to make sure I set the "Display Full Smugmug Footer" to one of the "yes" options and not "no".

Nope.. There's really no trick to it. I do it all the time. Turn smugmug footer off, insert google code. You probably have an open < script > tag somewhere or something...
