When I view the HTML source of your page, this code is clearly there:

HTML Code:

<!--Google Analytics in (Forum) Begin-->

<script type="text/javascript">



  var _gaq = _gaq || [];

  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-26306379-1']);

  _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>

<!--Google Analytics in (Forum) End-->

So it appears to be fine. :confused:

This mod causes your scheduled tasks not to work. As soon as I uninstalled, they worked fine again.

There's probably more to this issue as it's working fine on many various 4.x forums. But it's no big deal, adding the code to your template or using a similar mod is easier than trouble-shooting.

I have a clean install of 4.1.8 and it causes the scheduler to fail. Remove and it works fine.
I will leave uninstalled for now. great mod and idea though!!!

Maybe it is just my situation. Thanks!

Excellent work BOP. I'm sorry to say that I'm going to have to "steal" your idea for automatic archive GA integration :D.

Installed but disappointed to see it is at the bottom of the page instead of the recommended by Google just before the closing head tag. Is there a problem putting it there?

That was a throwback to older times when the footer was the recommended location. Updated to version 1.6 with option to use header instead. :up:

I noticed when trying to install the code manually before the header in the archive page that the page stopped functioning so I ended up putting your code back in the footer. Something doesn't work there.

I didn't move it for the archive, just the forums. Archive is fine as is.

Thanks BOP5! I'll have to ensure that all is working. I set to the header as instructed above. By the way I want to purchase your HTML user color change that I heard you had. Could you drop me a link for that? Thanks again for this mod! :)

Even if they did it is "Re-Usable Code" and people may re-use it however they want.

Thanks though.

Hi there,
please can you explain me what is the difference between the options "Archive" and "Forum"?
What do it change?

And please can you explain me also the difference between "Header" and "Footer" position?

Any answer??

Sorry, missed this.

Forum are forum pages- the normal ones you are looking at right now.

The archive refers to the vBulletin archive feature- most new forums keep the archive disabled these days as it serves no purpose. But 10+ years ago when search engines had difficulty indexing forums the archive was much easier for it to index. You can see an example of an archive by clicking the archive link in the footer of any page on vbulletin.org, just to the left of the "Top" link.

(Link URL copied here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/archive/index.php )

Archive pages are much simpler than normal forum pages and add-ons do not usually affect the archive. Any changes you make to footer, header, or any other templates won't affect the archive either. For these reasons most people forget to put Google Analytics into the Archive code.

These days however I would recommend just disabling your archive in vBulletin settings.

As for header v. footer... In the header you *sightly* slow down the load of the page but register more visitors because no one can really stop the page loading before the header loads. In the footer there is no page slowdown but some visitors who click links really fast or click stop on their browser might not get counted because the javascipt loads last.

It really makes no difference 99% of the time.

Great! Many thanks BOP! :)
Is everything clear.
So in your plugin I have to disable the "Enable in Archive" box?
Right?

If you have the archive disabled in vBulletin Options then i does not matter what you have "Enable in Archive" set to.
