I am trying to add my website to Google Tracking for their bots come visiting. They have provided me with a script and suggest that I copy the following code block into every webpage I want to track immediately before the </body> tag.

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<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-1235305-4");

pageTracker._trackPageview();

</script>

So, where do I do this at? I put it at the bottom of the index.php but it is not being seen. Is there another way that I just haven't found yet?

overall_footer would be better... find the </body>tag near the bootom of the file and just at it before...

Just to be sure that I add the script to the correct file.

overall_footer.tpl (?)

if you are using mg_theme then overall_footer.tpl would be the better file to add it too... as it ask you to add it above the </body> tag..

if you are using another theme then the overall_footer.tpl of that theme

Yes I am using mg_themes.

Thank you, I will add the script to overall_footer.tpl

Also, is the a google compatible sitemap? If not, how do I create one?

I am not sure about this but I expect you will need to start a new topic so others can see it easily... remember to state clearly your problem in the description of the topic..

I assume that you are talking about placing the code in templates / mg_themes / overall_header.tpl and templates / mg_themes / overall_footer.tpl through the ACP?

i don't know if the ACP change the files .tpl but what i am trying to say is that you can add the code by the configuration from the ACP. Check the lapel "configuration" that said "headers and footers"
