I am not an expert of php at all, so maybe my problem is not a big challenge for some other guys...

If I simply insert the given Analytics code into footer.html, I get an error message:

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in footer.html line 24]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'var'
(Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590) in /mnt/var/www/virtual/adatbazisinfo.hu/linkek/htdocs/admin/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1093

The problem is with the line containing "try {" in that part of the added code:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-2017478-11");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>


Another method suggested by Google Analytics is to create analyticstracking.php. But that brings some further questions to me:

• Where should I put that file? Path /admin ?
• Where should I call this php code? footer.html, or one of the .php files? The suggested line to insert is:

Code: Select all

<?php include_once("analyticstracking.php") ?>

Thanks in advance for any hint or solution!

Quite simple:

Code: Select all

{literal}
<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("GOOGLEACTNO");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>
{/literal}

EDIT: Just put this in footer.html, it is called on all client-side pages.

Thanks a lot!

I love when that happens.
