google analytics + archive questions

[David_R]

hi,

Where should i place the google analytics code as follows in:

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-*****-*";
urchinTracker();
</script>

1. Vbulletin Archive
2. vB Easy Archive - Search Engine Spiderable Hack from Xenon

thanks.

In the default vbulletin archive, add a new plugin using the archive header start and add in this:

?>

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-*****-*";
urchinTracker();
</script>

<?php

Not sure about the other one.

[David_R]

did you meant to add a new plugin to this page:
admincp/plugin.php?do=add ??

what should i select under hook location, sorry for being lame i have not read complete information about vb yet

thanks for helping.

[Reeve of shinra]

yep thats the place. The hook location should be called something like archive header start or something close to it. Im at work and wont be home for a few hours but let me know if you cant find it or have problems

Could someone explain this a little more step-by-step? I'm trying to figure out how to do this. Surprised more people aren't wondering the same thing.

Plugins & Products > Add New Plugin > Hook Location: archive_header_start > Paste code as above.

Does the code put into the footer template not work for the archive?

It probably does, but I don't know why Reeve of shinra instructed to do it using plugins. I was assuming it wouldn't work the other way.

[firstrebel]

I just looked at the page source in the Archive and the Google script was not there, so this suggests putting it in the footer template does not cover the archives.

I have not tried using it as a plugin yet and removing the code from the footer. Can anyone clear this up please?
