Description
eV::googleTrack() returns tracking code for google analytics. If used, echo the returned value before the </body> tag.
Syntax
$string = eV::googleTrack($trackerCode,$pageCode=NULL);
Paramaters
- $trackerCode STRING
- The unique tracking id assigned by Google to track your site. Will be in the format "UA-1234567-1".
- $pageCode STRING OPTIONAL
- Argument to specify a name for the event. By default Google will track the event using the URL - this argument allows you to override that default and enter your own event specification, such as "/checkout/shipaddress.html".
Return Values
Returns a String containing the complete javascript, including the <script> and </script> bounding tags. Example of returned value is below:
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-1234567-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview("/pageCode/Override/if/specified");
} catch(err) {}
</script>
Examples
- Basic example
echo "<html>"; echo "<head>"; echo "<title>$metaTitle</title>"; echo "</head>"; echo "<body>"; echo $copy; // display googleTrack code echo eV::googleTrack('UA-1234567-1'); echo "</body>"; echo "</html>";
- Example using pageCode override
echo "<html>"; echo "<head>"; echo "<title>$metaTitle</title>"; echo "</head>"; echo "<body>"; echo $copy; // set pageCode // tell system to send the fuseaction as the override pageCode // if the fuseaction is anything other than PAGE.view $pageCode = ($attributes['fa'] == 'PAGE.view') ? NULL : $attributes['fa']; // display googleTrack code echo eV::googleTrack('UA-1234567-1',$pageCode); echo "</body>"; echo "</html>";
