I'm trying to put the google analytics script on my site. I tried putting it in the footer.pho file, but I received errors. Is there a good shared file that is loaded on every page load that would suit this script well?
Thanks,

It's just a small java script. You can put it at the bottom of the index.php file.
It takes forever to start collecting data though (regardless of where you put it).

Would the script, if loaded on the index.php page, get loaded on all page views so I get a full picture of visitor activity?
I also tried it on the index.php page, just before the last ?> tag, and the page failed to display. Where would it go? I don't know php and the script is supposed to be included somewhere on the page between the <body></body> tags.
Thanks,

eh? you made me look...! Google analytics says just before the </body> tag when I look at their instructions...
Copied from the analytics page in Google adwords....
Copy and paste the code segment into the bottom of your content, immediately before the </body>
Anyway, this place seems to work fine for me.

Yeah, don't place this inside of a php ( ?> ) tag. I put it immediately before the </body> tag. Since everything is displayed via the index.php page, it will capture all the info.

I never got data from google. I put the google script just before the </body> tag on the index.php file.
Why wouldn't I get data from this? And wouldn't this provide incomplete site data? The index.php file only loads on the home page, true?
Anyone have a good anwer on how to make google analytics work with the joomla template?
Thanks,
