Google Analytics Error Message

[jonsurf]

Hi

I wonder if anyone can help. I've been using Google Analytics successfully with Actinic Business 9.00 for a few months now. Today I updated to Actinic Business 9.05 and it's starting bringing up an error message on the homepage, relating to Analytics.

This is the error message:

Message: '_gat' is undefined
Line: 16
Char: 1
Code: 0
URI: http://www.buybrandtools.com/

It relates to this piece of Google Analytics tracking 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.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("<actinic:variablename="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>

The error message only occurs on the home page even though the tracking code appears on every page on the site.

Can anyone help??

Many Thanks

Jon

Have you searched the forum, I am sure it has come up before

'_gat' is undefined

would be a good search term

Many thanks for that - it works a treat! Cheers. Jon

Homepage error persists

Hi

I followed the recommendations and used the code from the knowledge base (http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=44926).

It works fine on all pages apart from the homepage. It fails to load the script from the homepage because acatalog/ is added before google-analytics.com/ga.js (highlighted below) when the site is generated. This means that the script cannot be found.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can stop Actinic adding the /acatalog to the script location on the homepage when the site generates? The script is called from the Design Wizard Outer Layout so appears on all pages.

Thanks

Jon
