Please provide me with the instructions on how to add the Google analytics tracing code to the files of the Responsive 2 template.

This is what I did:

Edit the template the manual way…

I followed the instructions:

1. Copy the Google analytics tracing code from your Google
Analytics account.

Admin > select account > select property > tracking info > tracking code

2. Open your template index.php > find the closing </head> tag and insert the tracking code here > save > close > refresh your webpage

PROBLEM is the Responsive 2 index.php does not show the typical </head> tag ???

Hi There,

You need to add the analytics via the template admin panel

You need to open up the template settings panel > Bottom tab on the left is settings - click that and scroll down to you see

Before closing head tag (Add Google Analytics here)
Enter any script here that you want to appear before the closing head tags. (Add Google Analytics here). Please ensure you include the appropriate script or style tags here.

Cheers
Paul

Or if you want to add it manually you need to add it to the tpls/blocks/default.php file.

Thanks

1/ When I insert the Google Analytics code into the template admin panel, "Before closing head tag (Add Google Analytics here)", and click Save or Save & Close it can not save it (it does not complete the save process). The code I inserted is directly from Google (see below).

2/ If I try to follow what Anthony says ("Or if you want to add it manually you need to add it to the tpls/blocks/default.php file.") that file is not present there. However, it is present at the level above (that is, tpls). Is that the one to use?

3/ As a third option, I have the extension Sh404SEF installed (that I use for non-Google-Analytic stuff). That extension can set up my Google Analytic tracking from within Joomla. However, I was thinking not to complicate things with extensions doing this (and showing Google Analytics reports INSIDE Joomla) when I can perfectly see it at Google Analytics itself.

I am, by the way, using the Medica template.

What can you suggest?

Happy Easter!
Henrik

Hi Henrik,

With 1.

If you have the browser console tab open when trying to save do you see an error message?

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul,
No. It simply gives the usual blue ribbon with the message 'Message - Saving you changes.' Only that it is stuck there
Henrik

Hi Henrik,

Normally if it gets stuck it will display a message in the console tab of the brower

In a pc and using chrome its f12 to activate the chrome developer tools and click the console tab - is there anything listed in red?

In this example I have errors from the security plugin my bank insists I use
