Google Analytics

Google has free web tracking analysis software that can be used for commercial sites, the problem is that in order for you to be able to track each page you need to :

" paste the code segment after the <head>, <meta> tags and before the </head> tag on each page you are planning to track. "

my question is if PHPnuke has a meta.php page where do i add this page code for lets say, your acount page or, the forum page, or gallery page, Etc..

Thanks in advance

I've got it on NukedGallery. I editted the header.php file as follows:

PHP: ›

<?php include("includes/my_header.php");

// Google Analytics code start

    echo "<s c r i p t src=\"http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js\" type=\"text/jav ascr ipt\">\n"

        ."</s c r i p t>\n"

        ."<s c r i p t type=\"text/java s c r i p t\">\n"

        ."_uacct = \"UA-XXXXXXXX\";\n"

        ."urchinTracker();\n"

        ."</s c r i p t >\n";

// Google Analytics code end 

    echo "\n\n\n</head>\n\n"; ?>

the extra spaces in the word "script" were needed to post the code.

Hello once again, sorry but can you be a little more specific. I tried your expample and it distoredted my page. I'm not getting the entire process. Although i understand what you mean.

just copy and paste the code for your analytics account after the "include("includes/my_header.php");" line in your header.php file.

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that within my phpnuke i have a folder within the include dir thats custom _files. Within that dir i placed a custom_header.php file once i did that it shows up when looking at source view. However, i'm not sure if its tracking all the pages or is it just recording clicks at the or to the main page?

if it's a custom_header file, it should be on all pages.

If you edited the header.php file at the root of your nuke install (where the mainfile.php is) like Dari said then anything you add to it will appear on all the pages.

You can refer to method of adding tracking code in a separate PHP file here:
