Does this support tracking Google Checkout, and if so, how does that work?

Re: Free - Updated Google Analytics Module For Miva Merchant 5.5

The option to enable Google Analytics tracking is within the Google Checkout module itself. (there is a checkbox within the Google Checkout module admin)

That said, the code implemented by the Google Checkout module has not been updated for use with the new Google Analytics Asynchronous tracking code. There are two changes required to bring the code up to date:

1. Google Checkout button form onsubmit needs to be changed from:

onsubmit="setUrchinInputCode();

to:

onsubmit="setUrchinInputCode(pageTracker);"

2. External script call needs to be changed from:

<script src="https://checkout.google.com/files/digital/urchin_post.js" type="text/javascript">

to:

<script src="https://checkout.google.com/files/digital/ga_post.js" type="text/javascript">

Alternatively, I have seen the following used in place of the form onsubmit, which is technically proper asynchronous usage:

<script src="https://checkout.google.com/files/digital/ga_post.js" type="text/javascript">
<script>
_gaq.push(function () { 
var pageTracker = _gat._getTrackerByName();
setUrchinInputCode(pageTracker);
});

I had reported this to Miva Merchant some time back, however I don't think it has been resolved. Hopefully we will see a fix in a future Google Checkout module update.
