Google Analytics Incorreclty Located

Hi Guys
The latest version of Google Analytics needs to be installed above the closing HEAD tag and not down below by the closing BODY tag.

The new code allows for the _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); to be add rather than the enforced

pageTracker._trackPageview(); by the Kartris system.

Because of all the different options Google now offers such as

A single domain (default)
One domain with multiple subdomains
Multiple top-level domains

I belive you need to be more flexible. See other variables avaialbe to allow you to enhance your GA
http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingCustomVariables.html

Surely it would be far easier to simple add free text area in both locations so users can add what ever versions on the GA code they want and also add tracking code from other systems also?

Just my two pennies...

Carl

However, it is still possible to change the source of the GA code Kartris uses, which is created in this user control: UserControls/Front/EcommerceTracking.ascx You can edit this file to update the GA tracking code or even to replace it with an alternative system to GA. -- If my post solves your issue, can you 'Mark as Answer' so it's easier for other users to find in future.
