Google Analytics Settings

I have followed Dave's instructions to get Analytics working but am unsure about a couple of points when it comes to setting goals in the Analytics settings on Google.
Sorry to appear a bit thick on this but as each orders' receipt page is generated with different order numbers etc how do you specify a generic URL?
Dave says to specify a goal URL , I presume the receipt page, but would I enter http://www.alexreade.net/Act_ReceiptPrimary.html as the correct URL for the receipt page?

I think I understand the rest of the process but this has me a bit stumped.
Many thanks

Hi Simon.

As long as you've used 'receipt.html' in the call to urchinTracker() in step 2 of my original post then the goal URL for your receipt should be:

receipt.html.

The file receipt.html doesn't actually exist. It's used (by urchinTracker) as a trigger to tell Analytics that the receipt page has been reached. You can't use the actual URL of the receipt page because it isn't unique. The receipt page is dynamically generated and has the same URL as the other checkout pages.

Act_ReceiptPrimary.html is a template file that Actinic uses to generate the receipt page. It's not the URL of the receipt page.

OK have just found Eileens post about inserting code int0 Act_Order01-04 so I presume that my goal URl should be
http://www.alexreade.net/Act_Order04.html ???

**Simon Bridges** · 10-May-2007, 02:55 PM

Dave you are a star, thanks. I will change the goal url to receipt.html , please ignore my last post, I was just guessing really!
Many thanks for all your help with analytics and the logical 'non technical' way you have explained things.
Best regards

Correct google analytic code for V8

Hi I am concerned that Daves code containing the NETQUOTEVARS is not correct to use with V8. Can someone from actinic amend Daves code and re-post it here so that the NETQUOTEVARS are replaced by the correct actinic variables please.

I would have expected something this useful to have been put in the advanced user guide, but I couldn't find it.

Thanks Dave and everyone for the great work in this thread.

I have followed Dave's instructions but Google still says "The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your web site's home page"

Looking at the source code I can see the code fine.

The one thing that I noticed is that Dave's instructions state to put the code in the Head section, but Google states to put it just before the </body> tag.

Anybody know why it is not working for me and if the different position plays a part?

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

For example:

OnLoad="NETQUOTEVAR:ONLOAD"

should look like this afterwards...

OnLoad="NETQUOTEVAR:ONLOAD ; javascript:__utmSetTrans() ;"

I can't see this on your brochure index

**DJ Dicky** · 15-Jun-2007, 02:01 PM

As you show in the quote from Dave's instructions

Edit the Onload control in the <BODY> tag of Act_ReceiptPrimary.html

I can change the brochure index html as well if needed.

Richard

**wjcampbe** · 15-Jun-2007, 02:40 PM

Well

Edit the Onload control in the <BODY> tag of Act_ReceiptPrimary.html

won't solve

tracking code has not been detected on your web site's home page

so you may want to...

There's a small problem in your code. It's a very subtle one but enough to stop it from working...

On the following line, the 'var' must all be lower case. Yours has a capital v.

Var line2 = 'UTM:I|DK72YN10000727|NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREFERENCE|NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME|category|price|quantity';
document.getElementById('utmtrans').value = line1 + '\n' + line2;

Also, it looks like your </BODY> and </HTML> tags are the wrong way round.
The </BODY> close tag should be before the </HTML> close tag. This won't be anything to do with the problem but you should probably correct it.

Good luck!

Dave

Thanks to Pinbrook and wjcampbe I have now got this mostly working but I now think that I have exactly the same problem as Donna had (but not the same cause). Google is showing the number of transactions, the transaction value but zero purchased products.

With the style="display:none" removed as suggested before, the form displayed is just empty so I don�t believe that any information is being passed to Google.

If anyone can spot the reason I would be grateful as I cannot see anything wrong.

Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard.
Are you expecting to see a breakdown of the products with each order in your analytics report? If so this will not work without the addition of further code. The reason is that NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME is not actually a valid field on the receipt page.

There is some discussion further back in this thread about how this may be acheived but I've not yet implemented this. Take a look at An Qi's post.

By the way, the javascript:__utmSetTrans() bit is only required in the receipt page (assuming this is your goal) and not on all your pages.

Hope this helps.

Dave

Thanks for replying Dave.

I have implemented the code in paulhesford's post (post 57) because I could not relate the code in anqi's post to the code in my order04 page. I am reasonable familiar with HTML but I just could not work out where the bits needed to go and paulhesford's post was clearer and I like the idea of not needing to modify a page after upload.

The only bit I was not sure about was the reference to see the data that is being sent to google as I still get an empty form when I implement that code.

The one change I did to pauls code was to replace STOCK BAGS with NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONNAME but Google is still showing 0 products sold although the transaction values are correct.

I am sure that I am close to getting this working but probably missing something simple.

I am grateful for all the help I have already got from this forum and there are certainly some cleaver people out there.

Nearly there

Amazing thread, thanks to all those you have saved me hours and hours already.

I have a last couple of questions before attempting to get this up and running.

I run Actinic 7 and Worldpay so I have set up my GATC as all secure as I understand this runs for all pages and have included _udn="none";
_ulink=1; but I can't see how to also use the __utmLinkPost() function to carry across the cookie data. I think I need to modify the Actinic page element that calls the jump across to the Worldpay server from my own site but I can't see which one it is.

The only example I could find was the FORM example in which the file act_OCCNochexTemplate.html was modified but I don't have this file as I use WP not Nochex. I really don't want to generate a bunch of warning messages while I get this right!

Can anyone help?

Also I have had tracking for Google Adwords conversion, Overture, Microsoft, split testing and Web-Stats and my affiliate scheme running in Order04 for several years. As far as I know uploading this via Act_ordero4 hasn't caused a problem in the past so is it necessary to add GATC after upload each time? Should I really be adding all this <script>s after upload each time?

If you are adopting Anqi's suggested additional code to order 04 to get more data transferred into GA do you still place the code into Act_ReceiptPrimary.html as per Dave's Step 4) or would this be duplication?

Thanks to everyone.
