Gilligan's Google Analytics Module for 5/5.5 is now FREE at Miva Central

[Rick Wilson]

Everyone,

We've bought the code to Gilligan's Google Analytics Module and will at some point stream it into the software but for now, you can get it FREE at Miva Central. Go to http://www.mivacentral.com/Merchant2...ode=GILL-GOLAN

This is true for the Version 4 module as well.

Great News!
Now does anybody have step-by-step instuctions they can share on what to do in GA (i.e. how to set up funnels/goals) to extract all the great data that this module collects for us?

Rick,

Has the module been updated to use the new ga.js code? I have recently replaced a good number of Google Analytics installs using this module due to it's use of the old urchin tracking code. A number of these installs have made note of conversion tracking issues with anything using the old code.

Dan, I just downloaded and installed it this afternoon. I can report that it is using the old urchin tracking code.

Outstanding. Meanwhile, I already have GA code elsewhere on my client's Web site, can that code be easily swapped in or will I need to link a second GA code instance to that existing account?

Hi,
You'll want to remove all the old code and only use this module as per the install doc. Using both (EXCEPT on non-merchant pages) will cause problems.

Which version of the module will use the GA.js code? MivaCentral's current version number is 5.100

[Rick Wilson]

Re: Gilligan's Google Analytics Module for 5/5.5 is now FREE at Miva Central

Bill updated the files last night and unless Bill chimes in to correct me, 5.100 has the latest GA.js

I'm actually 100% sure that 5.100 is the new version.

Hi all,

just tried to install the golananalytics file with the new .js code, but when loading the new module I get the following error.

Runtime error in 5.00/admin.mvc @ [00000009:0000009c]: admin.mv: Line 1544: MvDO: Unable to open '/mm5/5.00/MIVA_FUP00000001': File is either corrupt or not a valid compiled Miva Script file

I noticed that the script file ends with .mv (golananalytics.mv) Should it not be .mvc? I selected the version 5 of the script and the help file says for version 5. Any help appreciated.

This has been fixed.
Please re-download (or email me at bill AT gilliganandferneman.com) and I'll send you over the update.

My mistake - late night, wrong file.

Thanks, it uploaded fine. I have one question. In step 5 of your instructions you say:
5. Enter your UA Tracking Code (Provided by Google)
Do you want us to enter the web property ID UA-xxxxx-x or the entire tracking code such as:

<script type="text/javascript">
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"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxx-X");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>

You need to set up GA Goals to make this work correctly...right?
What should we put for our Goal URL?
How about the following:

/INVC.html

Does that make sense if you are using SEO (short) links?

I got it working using the web property ID.

Great addition to the core MM product...Thanks Miva!
