An alternative approach

This is what I did for a Drupal 7 site with it's own theme MYTHEME:

In your theme folder (sites/all/themes/MYTHEME), create a folder named js if there isn't one already. Create a file called something like google-analytics.js. The name doesn't matter, but the suffix must be .js. Copy the Google Analytics tracking code supplied by Google and paste into this file, leaving out the script tags . The file will look like this:

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-Y']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

where UA-XXXXX-Y is your GA account number.

Now create a file template.php in your theme folder if there isn't one already. Add the following code to this file:

function MYTHEME_preprocess_html() {
drupal_add_js (path_to_theme() . '/js/google-analytics.js');
}

This should add the script to the header of each page. You might have to clear your caches first.

The page I got the following code from seems to have disappeared, otherwise I would credit the author of this tip.

Awesome Instructions

Thanks! I added the block, and it was very simple. I see the code added in the footer but it's not exactly at the bottom, as Google suggested. I'll wait a day or so to see if the reporting works. THANK YOU!

Did as you instructed

Did as you instructed lastnight, now it is just the waiting game... hope this works for me. Will post back either way. Also thank you very much for sharing this method of using GA with a Drupal site.

Removing Yourself From Being A 'Hit'?

Awesome info!

One question, how would you modify it so that you did not count as a 'hit' to your own website?

Cheers

Won't work.. :(

Hi there

I was hoping that this would solve it for me, however once I create the block (PHP Filter is on and input format is PHP ) the code just shows as text at the bottom of each page? Did I miss something?

Thank you

I Unfortunately got this page after I have installed the GA module for Drupal. (you know it's the only result for "add Google Analytics to drupal" searching)
Well I typed just the ID in the module settings page, but not sure if that enough.
I am waiting the 24 hours you pointed above, and if doesn't work, then will try your simple way
Thanx Mice
