Miscellaneous Hacks - Dynamic Google Analytics

Dynamic Google Analytics

This is a very simple mod, it adds the ability to dynamically generate the code for Google Analytics.

Version History:
1.0 - Initial Release, using ga.js instead of urchin.js
1.0.1 - Removed vB 3.7 requirement

I'm using this on 3.7.2 PL1 - It's working flawlessly as far as I can see.

Very nice, very handy plugin! A*!

Thank you!

I had to dig into code to understand what this is doing and want to share since thread's first post lacks details and many people are asking for it.

For those who are asking, this should work on all versions of vB 3.7 (sorry for not responding sooner, I thought I was email subscribed to this thread)
