Miscellaneous Hacks - Easy Google Analytics

Description:
This small and simple modification will allow you to easily add your Google Analytics tracking code to your site without editing templates. Editing templates may seem daunting to some people however this modification allows you to paste your code in a box and it'll handle the rest.

Your Analytics tracking code will be added to the end of the footer template so it doesn't slow the loading of your site down.

Installation:

1. Download the product XML and import it through the 'Manage Products' page in the AdminCP.
2. Add your tracking code to: Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Google Analytics Settings.
3. Done.

Changelog:
14/10/2012 - Version 1.00:
- Initial release.

Notes:
I'm always looking to improve my work for the people that enjoy using it. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve this hack then please leave a comment and I'll see what I'm able to do. Don't forget to 'Mark As Installed' if you've got it installed!

Just installed this, and it's not working with 5.03 for me.

Google Analytics says the tracking is not installed.

I imported the file downloaded, went into options, pasted the code in, clicked on save and nothing.

I have a look at the page source, and I can see the google analytics code inserted. Not sure why Google Analytics is saying it's not being tracked.

Any ideas?

Is anyone else having difficulties?

How long did you wait? I just did mine 2 days ago and it is working. And I am on 5.0.3.

It's been over 12 hours now. How long did it take Google analytical to acknowledge tracking was installed?

Each time I refresh the Google Analytical page, it says under tracking info:

Status: Tracking Not Installed

The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your website's home page. For Analytics to function, you or your web administrator must add the code to each page of your website.

Each time I refresh or check, the last checked details change.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Just noticed Google Analytics offer 2 types of tracking.

Universal Analytics (beta) which is the default option and Classic Analytics. I've just switched over to Classic Analytics. There's no dynamic updates, so I'll just wait if that does the trick.

EDIT 2: Changing to Classic Analytics worked.

I read that it could take 24 to 48 hours for it to start tracking. You did paste all the code into it?
