Shouldn't the javascript be in the footer to reduce page load time?

[nitra1000]

Nope this uses the asynchronous code which is the fastest available

[Kraxell]

Thx, will give it a try :)

[Paul M]

Remove this threat from your plugin.

Consider yourself warned - this is unacceptable.

Does this track just the home page or every page ?

I used the code before and placed in in my header template

[nitra1000]

@Paul Removed :) Just an idel threat made after losing over 500,000 links when a board owner removed my copyright. I had no intention of even leaving the comment in the mod (and certainly would never carry out)

Every page.

Does it work with vB 4.1.2?

[nitra1000]

Does it work with vB 4.1.2?

Should work on all 4.x

[BadgerDog]

I'm confused ... :confused:

I've had Google Analytics installed for a couple of years and recently updated their script directly with their add-on code to be asynchronous.

Are you saying that this mod adds this new "speed" capability to their code and I need to install your mod as well to get this capability, or is it something I should see under my regular Google Analytics web page analysis?

Thanks .. :)

Doug

This mod

* add the asynchronous code in the header
* adds the code to enable speed tracking
* adds the code to let you know if they are guests or members

Basic it does everything.... you just put in your ha code

Understood ... thanks .. :)

Since I'm already running the Google Code, I just added their additional variables to it.... :up:

How do i get these reports to show up in Google Analytics?

[nitra1000]

How do i get these reports to show up in Google Analytics?

Will be writing a detailed how to tomorrow....

Basicly site speed is click new version in top right - go to content - Site Speed

User Information is available in content custom variables but for it to be of use you need to create custom segments (to product segmented graphs)

[Acido]

cant see nothing in analytics panel. I´ll be waiting for your how to to try again the product.

[glen290]

Installed, will be interesting to see how it shows in google analytics,,

[CRDeveloper]

Installed in two forums, now testing!

[nitra1000]

You can now find instructions in the links provided :)

[Alfa1]

This should be in stock vb. Thanks.

[MonkYZ]

Unfortunatelly for me... it doesn't enable Site Speed in Analytics... It's still showing 0.00... What else can i check/do ?

[TheLastSuperman]

If you just enabled that option it could take up to 48 hours for the new info to be tracked and shown, please refer to this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2204935&postcount=27

If you find out otherwise please report back so we can see if this is another issue your having ;).

[nitra1000]

Thanks @last, @monk if theres nothing in 48 hours please reply back here with url, and also a aprox traffic figure would help (site speed is taken from a rough sample of visitors)

[MonkYZ]

Thanks guys! I thought 24h or so will be more than enough. I'll leave it for at least 48h and report back!

[RC-Central]

Dl'ed and Installed! Now I would like to add the results in a block on main page if possible?? Please help!

[K!nG]

I just added tracking code like an hour ago in my header template as well because before i couldn't find this mod. lol now my question is if i install this one do i have to remove those codes from header template or i can leave them there as well ??

[LVC]

where can I find info on the various options/settings

Use Script to Show
Tracking
Guest vs User
Speed

what is the default settings

Also if I select guest vs user -- does google still record total numbers for the site?

[LVC]

How do you set up a custom report for Users vs Guests in google using this mod?

I want to track visits & Pageviews or Members vs guest?

I tried to do it -- but the numbers do not even come close to adding up

[KProjects]

Great mod.. thanks!

[nitra1000]

LVC, I've sent you a pm hope it helps.

[matt94gt]

Hey, I applied this mod. Went to Options > Google Analytics Script then pretty well turned everything ON and eneterd my UA Number. Is that all?

Is there somewhere on vBull where I can see the stats without going onto analytics, or does this simply just enter the UA code automatically so that my analytics can track everything?

[gabrielt]

This mod has a flaw, as your forgot something. You didn't add the tracking code on the ARCHIVE section of vbulletin, which is available by default at http://www.url.com/forum/archive/index.php.

Here is how to add this, I hope this helps on adding this feature on a future release.

Create a new plugin at hook archive_complete.

Add the following code:

$code="<script type=\"text/javascript\">

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-11076357-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

(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';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

</script></head>";
$output=str_replace("</head>",$code,$output);

I hope this helps.

I hope this helps.

Why would we update our code with your UA # in it? ('UA-11076357-1')

I have had a skin installed and now I'm showing no data in analytics. Could the skin have deleted the header info?

Check your source for mention of your UA number

15.00 Donation - your #$%#$$# CAZY!

How long did you spend making this a half an hour? I'm sure you should be compensated untold hundreds for your work. <-- sarcasm

[ssoc]

As per this thread: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/392571-is-this-a-vB-copyright-text?

...uninstalled.

I'm all for supporting developers by way of donation, but this is a dirty tactic.

So how many hours have you put in to developing modifications?

P.S @SSOC I agree a dirty tactic by a past self, I will remove the code and make it clearer

[dadoc]

Is this similar to the vbseo function
that adds the code to all pages?

Or does it add extra functions to Anylitics results?

[troyuncucom]

works 3.8.x?
