Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Google Analytics in the Archive (and Forum) by BOP5

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5
www.Qapla.com

Upgraded to version 1.6 - Updated option to put code in header OR footer on forum pages.

• Header - Recommended location by Google for the Asyncronous Code (the popular code)
• Footer - Recommended location for non-Async (legacy) tracking code.

I strongly urge everyone to confirm with google your code is working by checking the analytics the next day after installing to confirm your hits are bing registered. The google tool for confirming the code is on the page is not good enough!

The main purpose of this mod was originally to add your Google Analytics code to the archive. The archive traditionally gets overlooked because the standard instructions of copying your analytics code into the footer doesn't cover the archive.

You simply copy and paste the full analytics code Google gives you into the mod options and enable it.

Optionally you can also use this mod to put your analytics code in the regular forum (non-archive) as well, however if you have already manually put your analytics code in the footer you should leave this option disabled.

To confirm it is working go to your archive and view the source on any archive page. At the bottom directly above the VB Copyright info should be your google code.

I have tested this on 4.0.8, 4.1.12, and 4.2.0 and it will work in all 4.0.x and 4.1.x /4.2.x at least.

For a VB 3.8 version see here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=246171

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

<!--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.

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!
