Google Analytics - Revisited

Bill Gilligan Module

We have the module in our MM4 store. Contact Bill Gilligan.

Wait, his mod is only available for MM5?

Can anyone supply the OUI code to list all the products in the cart/order for the ecommerce tracking in Urchin?

This has been posted several times.

A search of 'google tracking code' pulls the thread right up.

Thanks Vic. Sometimes the hardest part is knowing the search terminology.

Using the code you linked, how would I loop through all of the products in the order? And is this going to add significant time to the checkout process? Think my Hostasaurus server can handle it?

GOL Analytics Module

The Goole Analytics module is only available for V5.

If enough people are interested, I would consider updating my old V4 Urchin module to work with analytics.

Please contact me off list.

Bill, is any documentation available for the GOL Analytics module for miva 4.0 to see what is involved in module installation and functionality?

I have purchased the module, and I am using it in my store. Installation was very easy, it was just a matter of enabling ecommerce in Analytics then installing the module. And it seems to work great. I started getting ecommerce feedback immediately.

Same here, I have Bills Module for Merchant 4.20 and it is working and giving sales info. I have one problem with the invoice footer display but I don't think that is a problem with the module as much as a problem with so many comment tags conflicting once I installed the module. Has anyone trued the Goal code given by Susan? I would like to try it, but it would be nice if I am not the first one :)

[Brandon MUS]

Yes, I use code that netblazon (Susan) posted. Its been working great for us as far as I can tell.

I'm using the goal code by Susan and it's working for me with one exception. I have an email campaign/newsletter that I send out every other week. I have google analytics tracking code in the email campaign which seems to be working. I can see how many users clicked on an email campaign in GA. However, it doesn't report goal tracking for that campaign (i.e. what percentage of users who saw the email campaign actually purchased a product) For some reason, they get added to the (referrer). Can't figure out why, but I don't think it's related to the goal tracking code.

[Jim Cockerham]

Great! I just set mine up....hope it works.
How did you set up the newsletter tracking ?

Just use the url tool builder located here http://www.google.com/support/analyt...255&topic=7275

It walks you through setting up campaign tracking and takes about 5 minutes. Basically the url's you want to track in your newsletter campaign have special tags that can be created by the url builder.

Passing Category to Google Analytics

Marv from Winebuys mentioned to me that the code he was using, in conjunction with our Category Breadcrumbs Plus module, was always passing in the same category no matter what. I made a correction to the INVC footer code I had on one store, which relied on the Copernicus Token Library (from OpenUI Supermod) to be installed. Here's the revised code with no dependency on the Copernicus mods:

%OUI%
<form name="utmform">
<textarea id="utmtrans" rows="15" cols="150">
UTM:T|%ORDERNUM%|StoreName|%order_total%|%order_tax%|%order_shipping%|%VAR(Orders.d.ship_city)%|%VAR(Orders.d.ship_state)% |%VAR(Orders.d.ship_cntry)%
%FUNC(OrderItem_FindFirst_Order(Orders.d.id))%
%WHILE(g.OUIX_FuncReturn)%
%FUNC(Product_Find_Code(OrderItems.d.code))%
Products.d.code: %VAR(Products.d.code)%
UTM:I|%ORDERNUM%|%VAR(OrderItems.d.code)%|%VAR(OrderItems.d.name)%|%module|breadcrumbs|primary-code2%|%VAR(OrderItems.d.price)%|%VAR(OrderItems.d.quantity)%
%FUNC(OrderItem_FindNext_Order(Orders.d.id))%
%WHILEEND%
</textarea>
</form>

The changed line is:

%FUNC(Product_Find_Code(OrderItems.d.code))%

which will position the products database to point to the current product in Order Items (as it loops through OrderItems). That allows Category Breadcrumbs Plus's token to work (it depends on the Products database pointer already being positioned).

Hope this helps someone! :)

Correction...

..sorry, I left in a line of debug. Here's the proper code:

%OUI%
<form name="utmform">
<textarea id="utmtrans" rows="15" cols="150">
UTM:T|%ORDERNUM%|StoreName|%order_total%|%order_tax%|%order_shipping%|%VAR(Orders.d.ship_city)%|%VAR(Orders.d.ship_state)% |%VAR(Orders.d.ship_cntry)%
%FUNC(OrderItem_FindFirst_Order(Orders.d.id))%
%WHILE(g.OUIX_FuncReturn)%
%FUNC(Product_Find_Code(OrderItems.d.code))%
UTM:I|%ORDERNUM%|%VAR(OrderItems.d.code)%|%VAR(OrderItems.d.name)%|%module|breadcrumbs|primary-code2%|%VAR(OrderItems.d.price)%|%VAR(OrderItems.d.quantity)%
%FUNC(OrderItem_FindNext_Order(Orders.d.id))%
%WHILEEND%
</textarea>
</form>
