Thanks for the share
Small thing to point out.

1. Zip should not contain the plugin folder, just the language folder and the files. Else the plugin uploader just uploads folder without files
2. category_welcome.html can be deleted

Hey Does the google analitycs code looks like this

UA-33165690-1

/ or this is user ID only

or should look like this

<script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-33165690-1']); _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>

and where can we look at analitycs

The second one it what you are after. You will need to create a google account to use analytics if iam not wrong. From there you also get your code which you can insert into admin.

Hi All,

I created a google account, posted the following in the admin section but i do not get any hits reported within the google analytics area for my account. Any ideas?

<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-38011571-1']);
_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>

Thx

Can you check your page source please if it renders as it should? ( no stripped chars etc )

Also, i think google need quite some time to update reports, a day if iam not wrong ( not using it myself )

EDIT: It seems this was never documented, you need to add a template tag to wrapper
{$ga}

However it might just be easier to edit a plugin file, since we have a predefined tmpl tag already for extra javascript codes, but author havent made use of it. That way you dont need to update your layout.
Ill add in this change later today to the plugin
in the plugin folder, open global_start.php
The following line

$TMPL['ga'] = $CONF['site_ga'];

Replace with

$TMPL['extra_javascripts'] .= $CONF['site_ga'];

Also make sure your website is submited to google webmasters,
Check if your domain is non-www or www at google analytics

Pretty sure it was the issue i mentioned. Bernie, please download and then upload the zip again
Let me know if it works now

Hi All,

Seems I was impatient. Check the stats today and it is capturing data. I have not uploaded the updated plugin. I will do that later today and check it still works. Thanks everyone for your help. Seems you need to wait at least 12-24hrs for the logging to start at Google.

Cheers

A small update to go with the latest patch for 1.0. Nothing major, but will correct a few design issues who came up after the patch. A simple overwrite ( upload via admin plugin manager is enough )

I can't see where I can put my code? Is it Vote Code Links?

Hello Ronsoriano,
Once you installed plugin, you can enter your GA code here:
Settings -> Change Settings -> General Settings -> Google Analytics code
