What file to modify for Google Analytics code?: PHPFusion 8 Support

Oh no! Where's the JavaScript?
Your Web browser does not have JavaScript enabled or does not support JavaScript. Please enable JavaScript on your Web browser to properly view this Web site, or upgrade to a Web browser that does support JavaScript.

I am not completely sure if this is the right forum for this question, because it is not about a modification of any system features (so the MOD site seems to be the wrong place), but still about modification of code, well - a file, anyway.

I need to know in what file I should add Google Analytics code before the </HEAD> tag so that it becomes included in all generated pages.

I used /templates/footer.php file...

You can add code to HEAD without modifying any files, just create a panel and add in your code....

Code Download source

add_to_head("

-- Your Google Code --

");

make sure it's set for public visibility.

Excellent! Thanks a lot. Had never thought about a panel.

includes/header_includes.php will be better.
For all pages and without any panel.
And with this code of course :)

If a solution works without modifying any code, especially not of the core package, then that solution is to prefer. We want as little impact on updateability and upgradeability as possible. In the best of worlds, all mods should be realized as data in the database (possibly with an exception for infusions).

yes, but I would use the footer_includes.php
I think that the site will load faster if the javascript is in the footer.
correct me if i am wrong.

That's true, by putting javascript in the footer you can shave of a few milliseconds, but the difference will not be noticeable to most.

I am still trying to get the panel to work. But I would probably have had the same problem if I had put it in the footer instead:

I have input

Code Download source

[b]add_to_head("[/b]<!-- Google Analytics START -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-16649074-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.onclick = function(event) {
    event = event || window.event;
    var target = event.target || event.srcElement,
        targetElement = target.tagName.toLowerCase();
    if (targetElement == "a") {
        var href = target.getAttribute("href"),
            urlHost = document.domain.replace(/^www\./i,"");
        var urlPattern = "^(?:https?:)?\/\/(?:(?:www)\.)?" + urlHost + "\/?";
        eventCheck(href,urlPattern);
    }
    function eventCheck(href,urlPattern){
        if ((href.match(/^https?\:/i)) && (!href.match(urlPattern))){
            if (href.match(/^.*\.(pdf|jpg|png|gif|zip|mp3|txt|doc|rar|js|py)$/i)) {
                _gaq.push(["_trackPageview","/download/" + href]);
            } else {
                _gaq.push(["_trackPageview","/exitlink/" + href]);
            }
        } else if (href.match(/^mailto\:/i)) {
            _gaq.push(["_trackPageview","/mailto/" + href.substr(7)]);
        } else if (href.match(/^.*\.(pdf|jpg|png|gif|zip|mp3|txt|doc|rar|js|py)$/i)) {
            _gaq.push(["_trackPageview","/download/" + href]);
        }
    }
};
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(ga);
})();
</script>
<!-- Google Analytics END -->[b]");[/b]

and get the following fault code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /hsphere/local/home/mydomain/mydomain.com/themes/templates/panels.php(48) : eval()'d code on line 2

The Google code itself should be ok.
Maybe I do not understand how to use the PHPFusion-function add_to_head("");??? Or adding PHP to a panel???

Extract google_code.js from attached file and load to your root directory.

Then create a public access panel with the following code and enable, that should do it.

Code Download source

add_to_head("
   <script type='text/javascript' src='".BASEDIR."google_code.js'></script>
");

I got rid of the fault code but no js-code was added to the head on the pages :(

(and yes, the panel is active and public).

Well, thanks very much for your support, but it does not work for me (I do exactly the same), but now I also tried to put the same code in the includes/footer_includes.php and then I get the same result as you do. I would rather use the panel, but this is also possible of course (just more modding-work at every update/upgrade and risk for unaccidental removal).

It worked well with

Code Download source

add_to_head("

script with some " replaced by ' 

");

in the includes/footer_includes.php file. Thanks for great support!

However, in order to get Google Analytics to work correctly, I now also need to include some Javascript tracker code on the <input> button on the contact.php form, this:

Code Download source

onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/mal/formular/kontaktaoss']);"

How should I do that?
