• Google Analytics is an amazingly powerful tool for monitoring your website traffic - and best of all it is free!

• create a new directory analytics in catalog/includes/modules/

• copy this file catalog/includes/modules/analytics.php from this zip file into the directory.
  • googleanalytics.zip

• If necessary, change the $transaction_string and/or the $item_string , for example

if you do not use the value customers_state or affiliation tag, replace this with dummy text (company name description), like:

	$transaction_string = '"' . $order_id . '"," ' . $analytics_affiliation . '",
	"' . $analytics_total . '","' . $analytics_tax . '","' . $analytics_shipping . '",
	"' . $orders['customers_city'] . '","DUMMYTEXT","' . $orders['customers_country'] . '"';

• In your main_page.tpl.php file place the following script at the end of the file, prior to the closing </body> and </html>

	<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("UA-xxxxxxx-x");
		pageTracker._initData();
		pageTracker._trackPageview();
	</script>

	<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("UA-xxxxxxx-x");
		pageTracker._initData();
		pageTracker._setDomainName("yourdomain.com");
		pageTracker._trackPageview();
	</script>

• Replace yourdomain.com with your parent domain name (between the quotes). The code does not differ that much from the original except now the (parent) domain name is setted. Google Analytics now can keep track of transactions from and to other domains within your access.

• Replace the xxxxxxx-x in the script above with your personal Analytics UA-code (available in your Google Analytics account)

• open catalog/checkout_success.php

• At the bottom of the file paste the following 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("UA-xxxxxxx-x");
		pageTracker._initData();
		pageTracker._trackPageview();
		
		<?php 
			include(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'analytics/analytics.php'); 
		?>
	
	</script>

• Again (as in step 4), replace the xxxxxxx-x in the script above with your personal Analytics UA-code.

• Save the checkout_success.php
