Have you tried http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=40396 with Normans solution

**graphicz** · 21-Jul-2010, 08:44 AM

None of these work.

The only thing that removes the errors is to use Google's original code with the Analytics Number hard coded. This of course leaves out the reference to the receipt page. Even putting the Variable Analytics Number instead of the hard coded number cause the error.
Is it asking too much for Actinic to provide an Analytics code that works?????

**NormanRouxel** · 21-Jul-2010, 09:15 AM

Are you sure.

I'm pretty sure that editing layout "Google Analytics Tracking Code" and
changing ga.js to ga%2Ejs does the trick.

However that is more related to the "_gat is not defined error". Without a link to a problem page on your site it will be hard to comment further.

The error goes.

This doesn't actually make any sense as you do not appear to be putting the try{ in front of that part of the code to complete function. I tried just adding the } catch(err) {} into a working version of the analytics code and it threw an error which is what I expected.

So it looks like you may have a problem earlier in the page layout with a { bracket that does not have a matching } bracket and this is what is causing the problem.

The software will mismatch the various {} bracket pairs until it comes to the last part of the code (the google analytics) and will now run out of brackets to match.

It is heavily customised to get it how the customer wanted it.

Here is the screen shot of IE's debug:

Shall I post the page html?

To Malbro

I was just giving the relevant lines.

This works OK:
<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-109xxxx-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}
</script>

This does not:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsGoogleAnalyticsEnabled%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20true" >
<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">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("<actinic:variable name="GoogleAnalyticsNumber" />");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview(<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Receipt%22">"/receipt.html"</actinic:block>);
</script>
</actinic:block>

Is it the ga.js in google-analytics.com/ga.js that should be replaced with ga%2Ejs? If so I am afraid no go.

Thanks

If I remove the Analytics tracking code altogether I get this:

**NormanRouxel** · 21-Jul-2010, 05:02 PM

An URL of a faulty page would be the most useful. Can't see it - can't fix it!

**graphicz** · 21-Jul-2010, 06:54 PM

Thanks Norman - I did give it above but it was probably lost in code, also the error just above is because of a duplicated reference to slimbox now resolved.

Analytics code = errors.
 = No Errors

**graphicz** · 21-Jul-2010, 06:57 PM

The live site still has some duplicate slimbox issues - please ignore

**NormanRouxel** · 22-Jul-2010, 07:59 AM

Looking on the source code of your home page I see:

Code:

var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "acatalog/google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));

</script><script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(" UA-10953590-1
");
pageTracker._initData();

The first and last lines are fine.

The line

Code:

document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "acatalog/google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));

is wrong. Actinic is inserting a spurious acatalog/ into that line. Fix this by doing as per my post #4 above.

Next there is an unterminated string literal error on the pair of lines:

Code:

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(" UA-10953590-1
");

This should really be generated as:

Code:

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-10953590-1");

You seem to have a spurious newline there that is forcing JavaScript to treat this as two lines of code when it's meant to be a single line. Also, the leading space is wrong. Strangely, I don't see a space or newline in the Actinic layout code you posted:

Code:

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("<actinic:variable name="GoogleAnalyticsNumber" />");

Could the space and newline somehow be in the value you've set for variable GoogleAnalyticsNumber?

Betcha you've copied / pasted that data from somewhere else and have inadvertently copied in some spurious whitespace characters.

**graphicz** · 23-Jul-2010, 10:21 AM

Thanks (as always) Norman. The analytics number in Actinic looked all right but I copied it into notepad and there was a carriage return! I have corrected this. Still got the error.
I can't upload the site at present as it is functioning, I will have to send a design snapshot when this is sorted. The code on page preview now looks like this:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
	var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
	document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga%2Ejs' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-109xxxxx-1");
	pageTracker._initData();
	pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>

**NormanRouxel** · 23-Jul-2010, 10:43 AM

Jonatan,

The code in your post #13 looks perfect now. Should work fine on the live site.

I've posted that ga.js needing to be ga%2Ejs as a bug as I see this is still a problem in the 10.0.2 Beta 2.

**graphicz** · 26-Jul-2010, 01:24 PM

I'll let you know when I am able to get the client to install a snapshot. In the meantime, the red box in Actinic is still displaying.
