Installing Google Analytics on PHPBB

[bateman_ap]

Example uses SubSilver Template but should be able to adapt to any you have installed.

First open

overall_header.tpl

in your templates/subSilver/ folder.

Search for

</head>

Before this copy your analytics code. So for example your code should look like:

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-000000-1";
urchinTracker();
</script>
</head>

Next open

simple_header.tpl

and do the same

Save both files and overwrite them on your server.

Thanks for posting, bateman. I've tested GA on a vBulletin forum, and it's pretty cool for a free tool.

Thanks.

The GA code doesn't actually belong in the head section. Instead, it should be put right before </body> (see GA manual for more details). That means you'll need to put it in the footer tpl's instead.
