Thanks for your great post Dave,

Just one thing I have picked up... If your taking card details manually then and have a secure server set up then the bit of code in Act_CheckoutPrimary.html that reads:

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

needs to read:

<script src="https://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

Notice the https instead of http.

Hi - I have just used Dave's code which work a treat.

I would like to implement anqi's additional code but would not be too happy having to download order04.html to amend as I'm sure I some point I would overwrite it with an upload.

Anybody clever enough to suggest a solution whereby this can be done on the PC before an upload (definitely not me...)?

3) Edit the Onload control in the <BODY> tag of Act_ReceiptPrimary.html to include javascript:__utmSetTrans().

Could anyone help, as I'm afraid I'm rather lost

How do you use Google Analytics' Ecommerce tracking if the site doesn't use Act_ReceiptPrimary.html? Our site only uses Act_Order04.html to provide a receipt, and this edited template doesn't have any <HEAD> or <BODY> tags... so where would the code go?

Also, if anyone could tell me how to use anqi's code too, that would be really helpful, as it just confused me

Design | Options - Layout tab - click edit beside the Receipt page layout. I think you'll find you do use Act_ReceiptPrimary.html.

**Coral** · 08-Aug-2006, 11:09 AM

I've just double-checked, and nope, we don't use Act_ReceiptPrimary.html. We use our own template, which is the equivalent to Act_Primary.html, and is nothing like the receipt template. Also, naturally, it's being used as the default page layout template.

**wjcampbe** · 08-Aug-2006, 11:18 AM

That would seem to give you two choices.

Switch to Act_ReceiptPrimary for that page

OR

Save your existing template to a new name and assign that new name as the receipt template, then figure out where the code needs to go.

Hmm, of course - there's a third - don't use the code.

**Coral** · 08-Aug-2006, 11:33 AM

Thanks.

I guess "don't use the code" is always available as a last resort, but I'd like to try a few things first if anyone has any other ideas?

I've only recently come into the site's maintenance, and the guy who designed it obviously had a very clear prodedure, as the Act_Order04.html template generates the page that is used as a receipt.

When doing test orders, that's the final page you see. There is no other page. Hence that needs to be the one to put the code on.

**wjcampbe** · 08-Aug-2006, 11:43 AM

Yes

Act_Order04.html template generates the page that is used as a receipt

generates the body of the page, but you need the HEAD section, which comes from the 'other' template. Suggest you look again at options 1 and 2.

**AndrewPK** · 08-Aug-2006, 12:20 PM

i think what wjcampbe is trying to say is that act_primaryreceipt generates the main layout of the page (navigation, toplogo, and such) and then act_order04 generates the actual body of the page, so in reality when compiled on the server, order04 becomes PART OF primaryreceipt to create the complete receipt page

Note:- as you say you dont use primaryreceipt, this was just an example, change the name primaryreceipt to the one you use and the same thing applies

SCOOP

Thanks AndrewPK.

I'm still very new to Actinic, and don't fully understand how it generates its pages. Your explanation makes a lot more sense to me, and I will now investigate that option. Thanks again, and to wjcambe. All help is much appreciated.

Copied the original from dave into two of my sites

They both show the hits etc in Analytics but do not show either adword costs or sales

Set up exactly as shown on daves entry including same names etc "receipt.html" etc

**domino1** · 11-Aug-2006, 09:59 AM

Hi Chris,
How long ago did you make the changes? It can take a day or so for the data to be visible on Analytics.

I've looked at your source code for your brochure pages and it looks fine but I can't see your receipt page code without placing an order.

Also, did you define your site as an E-COMMERCE SITE? This needs to be done in your Analytics profile settings.

If the above doesn't help can you post your Act_ReceiptPrimary.html file?

Dave
