That makes sense. With your quick register mod, you need to track the path the mod takes. This is setup to track the standard vBulletin path.

I'm confused, if the URL doesn't change the way register works, how in the world does the analytics goals know what is happening?

The path is defined inside the urchin code that is being put in by the plugin. It doesn't change the actual URL; it is more of a pseudo URL.
Here's the link at Google that explains what is happening in detail.

Thanks for the information. I'll re-install the plugin this weekend.
And try to get the goal funnels filled in.

Hi, cgchris99. Just checking back to make sure the install went well for you over the weekend.

I have the code at the very top of my headerinclude as per instructions at vb.com. Will this effect how this plugin works?

What code do you mean by 'the code?'

If you mean your basic google analytics code, then it doesn't matter where you put it as long as google picks it up. My instructions including putting it where Google originally recommended, just before the /header. Now Google recommends putting the code just before the /body.

Here's the link and pertinent text from Google's website:
http://adwords.google.com/support/bi...er=27323&hl=en


The code contained in the text box on the Tracking Status page must be copied and pasted into all of the web pages you will be tracking. It should be added immediately before the </body> tag, and can be added by hand or through the use of templates or includes, if available.

Sorry I haven't been back recently. I re-uploaded the plugin

I also edited the goals to be
www.(mydomain).com/forums/funnel_register......

Now we will wait and see if we get any conversions.

The part I don't understand is how it will look for a directory called /funnel_register when it doesn't exist.

After changing the plugin to include /forums/funnel.....

I got it working perfectly. Probably could have left it alone and just modified the settings in google but 6 of one half a dozen the other.

Thanks for a great plugin.

For some reason the goals aren't working for me in Urchin, they're clearly setup but reporting 0 in analytics.

This is what the goal looks like:

Goal Name URL Active Goal Settings
G1 Registration http://www.cardschat.com/funnel_regi...ber_added.html On Edit

Any ideas?

Could it be because I put my analytics tracking code in the footer of the page rather than in headinclude?

I can't get this working either - my tracking code is also in the footer.

I have tried a few different combinations of paths in the settings and the plugin but still no luck.

How quickly are conversion goals updated in analytics? I give it a few days before making another change so it's a slow process to troubleshoot.

Nick0r and aus_dave,
Try putting it in the headinclude. In theory it should work from anywhere. The head include is where Google originally said to put it, just before the </head> tag. Now they say put it just before the </body> tag.
Nick0r, on your site, you have a ton of javascripts that show up when I look at the source on your first register. It is also possible that something is conflicting. Perhaps putting it in the head include will get it to run before something else that may conflict. The text itself looked correct, so I didn't see any typos. Also, can you list the exact URLs you gave to Google Analytics? For instance, the first one should be something to do with signup.html instead of member added.
aus_dave, yes, it can take a few days for google to start showing statistics, which does make it very slow to troubleshoot. If you want to post what's in your google setup, I'd be happy to take a look at it for you.

Did you do the "screenshots" with your camera and then scan them or something?

No, I did them using a print screen while I had a bad video card, which put the lines in.

I updated the screen shots. Those should look a bit better.

Yes, good job :)

Thanks for the advice Elleth. I moved the tracking code inside the headinclude and it worked fine. Not sure why this would be so - in theory it should work anywhere on the page.

Now I need to work out what all these goal conversion reports mean!

The problem with putting it in headinclude is that there are tons of custom pages of my sites that use custom mega tags etc and i avoid using $headinclude in those ones. It'll be too time consuming to go through and add them all manually.

In terms of the javascript, I haven't added anything there at all, I haven't even customised registration.

Nick0r,
When I looked at the source that displays on your registration page, there was a lot of extra code, and I suspect some of that code is conflicting with Google. Try going to your registration page and viewing the source, then going to another bulletin site and viewing the source, and you will see what I mean.
If the headinclude doesn't work for you, then perhaps putting it in the header will work?

Is Google still offering this feature for free or do they have a waiting list?

I believe their intent is for this to remain free. I know a lot of people recently got their invitations. Their page now says it takes a few weeks. Go here to sign up:

Thanks for the link.

Tried in header but had no luck, still getting no reporting.

Hi, Nick0r

I just looked over your site using the 'view source' from the browser, and the code looks correct. I also do not see any SEO rewrites that would cause problems. I do see that you have the script for rss feeds, which is different.

Just to verify what is not working: Are you getting statistics on everything from Google Analytics except the goal is not working, or are you getting no statistics at all from Google Analytics?

I'm getting stats, just not for that goal.

That helps to track it down. As long as you are getting stats, then including the google code in your header is fine.

Next is to look at your registration goal. Can you send screenshots of your google goal setup, or else list the options and copy/paste what you have in them here?

For those using VBSEO, they have created a way to use the google analytics goal. Here's a link to their how-to:

I tried this produkt on my 3.6.2 forum but it did not work.

Registration is still called via register.php?do=register

I have no SEO installed.

The registration URL in your address bar does not change. This is working fine for me still up through 3.6.4.

What does your Google Analytics show in your Goal and Funnel process?

I have updated the XML file on this for 3.6x vBulletin. Here's the thread for the updated version.
