Error when adding the Google Tracking Code.

[Mike1018]

I am unaware of where to implant my Google Analytics JavaScript code. I hear it is best to place it in the VB Footer Template. So, this is my footer code:

{vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_start}
{vb:raw ad_location.global_above_footer}
<div class="footercontainer">
<div class="footercontainer2">
<div id="footer" class="floatcontainer footer">

<form action="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php" method="get" id="footer_select" class="footer_select">


<vb:if condition="$show['quickchooser']">
<select name="styleid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'style')">
<optgroup label="{vb:rawphrase quick_style_chooser}">
{vb:raw quickchooserbits}
</optgroup>
</select>
</vb:if>

<vb:if condition="$show['languagechooser']">
<select name="langid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'lang')">
<optgroup label="{vb:rawphrase quick_language_chooser}">
{vb:raw languagechooserbits}
</optgroup>
</select>
</vb:if>
</form>

<ul id="footer_links" class="footer_links">
<vb:if condition="$show['contactus']"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.contactuslink}" rel="nofollow" accesskey="9">{vb:rawphrase contact_us}</a></li></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['hometitle']"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.homeurl}">{vb:raw vboptions.hometitle}</a></li></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$show['admincplink']"><li><a href="{vb:raw admincpdir}/index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase admin}</a></li></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$show['modcplink']"><li><a href="{vb:raw modcpdir}/index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase mod}</a></li></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['archiveenabled']"><li><a href="archive/index.php">{vb:rawphrase archive}</a></li></vb:if>
{vb:raw template_hook.footer_links}
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['privacyurl']"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.privacyurl}">{vb:rawphrase privacy_statement}</a></li></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['tosurl']"><li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.tosurl}">{vb:rawphrase terms_of_service}</a></li></vb:if>
<li><a href="{vb:raw relpath}#top" onclick="document.location.hash='top'; return false;">{vb:rawphrase top}</a></li>
</ul>


<vb:if condition="$show['dst_correction']">
<!-- auto DST correction code -->
<form action="profile.php?do=dst" method="post" name="dstform">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionhash}" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="dst" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var tzOffset = {vb:raw bbuserinfo.timezoneoffset} + {vb:raw bbuserinfo.dstonoff};
var utcOffset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset() / 60;
if (Math.abs(tzOffset + utcOffset) == 1)
{ // Dst offset is 1 so its changed
document.forms.dstform.submit();
}
//-->
</script>
<!-- / auto DST correction code -->
</vb:if>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// Main vBulletin Javascript Initialization
vBulletin_init();
//-->
</script>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="below_body">
<div id="footer_time" class="shade footer_time">{vb:rawphrase all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y}</div>

<div id="footer_copyright" class="shade footer_copyright">
<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
{vb:rawphrase powered_by_vbulletin}
<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
</div>
<div id="footer_morecopyright" class="shade footer_morecopyright">
<!-- Do not remove cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->
{vb:raw cronimage}
<!-- Do not remove cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->
{vb:raw vboptions.copyrighttext}
</div>

{vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_end}
</div>

But, when I add my code it says: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/content/h/e/r/herrs/html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(4595) : eval()'d code on line 131

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Many Thanks,
Mike

I put it into the template ad_footer_end. But, you can also put it at the end of the footer code. But, until they fix the bug with parsing some javascript, you will need to wrap it in <vb:literal> tags. This was talked about in a few threads over on vb.com.

Please see this sticky regarding questions about default vB4 - Installation Issues / Questions or bug reports regarding default vBulletin 4.0

And please use the code tags for code, not the Quote tags. Thank you.

I found its a problem when they do the final rendering on the templates. It tries to parse the java with in the php. Any time I try to input javascript in the template its self I get a parse error.

There is two solutions.

One would be to use this which I coded to make it easy.

Two would be to put the javascript in its own file and include the javascript file with in the footer.

I put mine at the end of the footer, had zero problems.

Or three, just wrap the <vb:literal> tags around your javascript.

(And java is not short for javascript - they are two very different languages. Why they are named so similarly, who knows! )

My guess is you are using the old code. The old code has no problems, but the new code does.

I think because of netscape^^

Thanks, Lynne, and sorry for the quotes. I actually imputed the old Javascript code, and it is collecting data as we speak. Thanks for you help. It's all appreciated!
