Xavisys - Forum: Google Analytics

rog@popcornphotography.com.au on Feature Request - Exclude Pages/Posts and/or Exclude Outgoing Onclick

Hi... I use and love this plugin and automatically include it for all of my clients, however I have come across an issue that I need help with.

In some of my sites, the Function handle_link on line 297 completely screws other code. This is because you use a combination of " & ' in your string replace. If I am using code that requires only using ' in the link string, Google Analytics breaks this.

Here is an example of part of a Script JS.

content: "<?php the_title(); ?> <?php if ( in_category( '3' )) { ?><?php } else { ?><?php $values = get_post_custom_values('Phone_No');
if (isset($values[0])) { ?><?php $key='Phone_No'; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?> <?php } ?><?php } ?> <a href='<?php the_permalink() ?>' title='More details on <?php the_title(); ?>'>View Details</a>"

As you can see, If the Analytics code puts a (") into the permalink, the whole thing falls over.

I am wondering if this could be resolved by adding an Exclude Pages/Posts by ID in the Admin area of this plugin or even better yet... an Exclude Outgoing String Replace on Pages/Posts. This second option would still ensure that the page is being tracked by Google, AND solve the issues.

Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide on this issue

Hi, Trying to figure out where i can see the outbound link click metrics in GA. I set them up in the Plugin, and have checked Event Tracking - but nothing showing up. Do I need to set up GA to do this, rather than the plug in?

Any help is appreciated.

Nothing I do seems to Google Analytics work with Wordpress. There's no error messages at all, I'm just simply showing zero traffic. I know there's been traffic though.

I've tried installing a couple different Google Analytics plugins. Currently I have the one from Xavisys installed, and I like how easy it is to stop tracking hits from administrator. Just wish other hits were tracked!

Is there a trick to installing Google Analytics plugins or something?? Other plugins work fine. Could there possibly be some cryptic setting in my cpanel causing the problem? Google Analytics worked great when my website was written in basic html and css.

All I've found on WP forum is, "wait 24 hrs and it'll start working." Its been a week since I installed this plugin and it isn't working.

Totally stumped. Hoping someone at this forum can help.
