Using Google Analytics with the script

webfusion

Hi

I am having problems tracking my web pages that have the comments script on them, I want to track them with google analytics.

I have found that pages without the comments script are tracked but the ones with it aren't.

It has something to with this: <?php include_once("analyticstracking.php") ?>

Does this command conflict with the comments script?

Thanks for any help.

That is standard PHP include function (include once) and it is not in conflict with our script, but contents of your "analyticstracking.php" file might be. As I don't know what's inside your file I can not tell you anything about it, but standard (official) JavaScript tracking code for Google Analytics should not be in conflict with our script.

Thanks for your reply, this is the contents of the tracking script:

var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));

try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("my account id here");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}

Just thinking about it I also use a ratings script on the same page as the comments script, the ratings script uses a sql lite database:

google.load("jquery", "1.3.2");

<?php include('../rating/rating.php'); ?>

Well not sure if any of this helps, maybe I should try removing that first and see if I can get the tracking script to work.

Thanks
