Anonymized Google Analytics

**GK User** Thu Dec 01, 2011 9:09 pm

In Germany we are forced to anonymize the IP addresses in Analytics for privacy reasons. So it is necessary to use "gat._anonymizeIp()".

It is possible to include this feature into the framework as an optional switch?

Thanks in advance

Hi

You probably should leave the template configuration in this point and add GA code manualy in /layouts/default.php this way You will be able to add this option also.

Hi, I have another question on this.
I have to change:

___________________________________
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-y']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

into:
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-y']);
_gaq.push(['_gat._anonymizeIp']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
___________________________________

but in the head layouts/default.php I can only find something like this:

___________________________________
<head>

<?php if($this->getParam("chrome_frame_support", '0') == '1') : ?>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1"/>
<?php endif; ?>

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />

<jdoc:include type="head" />
<?php $this->loadBlock('head'); ?>
</head>
___________________________________

which is the best way to add:

___________________________________
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-y']);
_gaq.push(['_gat._anonymizeIp']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
___________________________________

thanks for help;)

Hi

That's because this code is being loaded from within an extension. You need to find files of this extension and modificate it there, but it can be hard. I think easier will be to disable extension ading this code and simply add it manualy into head.php file.

Yes, but I haven't install any extention it must be inside the template and so what is the best way to add the anonymize IP code? Thanks for help;)

Hi

Please simply remove any GA Api from template settings and it will not be used. Than add whole the code with modifications directly into /layouts/blocks/head.php

**GK User** Sat Oct 27, 2012 12:18 pm

ok, that`s easy - a last question:

this is the head.php: (layouts/blocks/head.php) - how to put the Tracking code inside (at the end) - simply at the bottom??
thanks;)

Hi

Yes. All the code from this file appears between <head></head> so any place is fine, but for sure the end of this file is the easiest to handle.

**GK User** Sat Oct 27, 2012 2:12 pm

Hm, the syntax isn`t right?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /www/htdocs/.../templates/gk_postnote/layouts/blocks/head.php on line 126

??? sorry, I`m not a programmer - which is the right syntax?? bevore the last } - behind doesn't work.
Thanks again

Hi

As I see in the example of the code above. You just need to care and not to put javascript code inside php code which is placed between <?php ?> tags.

Please send me an access to ftp and a part of the code You want to copy and I'll do this for You if You have problems.

**teitbite** Wed Oct 31, 2012 1:48 pm

Hi

I have an FTP access from You, but I have no rights to change anything. So I'm gonna describe what I was going to do here:

1. Remove the line which is responsible for adding google analitics code in template, file: /layout/blocks/social.php line 109

Code: Select all: echo $this->googleAnalyticsParser();

2. In /layout/blocks/head.php add the code for GA at the very end of this file (I've also noticed that You have an error in this file, probably made during trying - mean that a value "?>" is missing at the end of it). When You will fix this file, simply go to the end, hit enter and copy the code You've send me by mail:

Code: Select all: <script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'xxxxxxxxxxx']); _gaq.push (['_gat._anonymizeIp']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); </script>

Hi

Ok. My access to FTP worked now. I've copied the code to it. Please check head.php file and tell me if it's working fine now.

**GK User** Sun Nov 04, 2012 6:16 pm

Hi, yes now it works - I hope google find it in the next 24 hours.
Thanks for your help;)

**teitbite** Mon Nov 05, 2012 12:48 pm

Hi

I'm glad it's working

To be honest I've seen Google catch up after 2 weeks in some cases

Hope it's not such case

**GK User** Mon Nov 05, 2012 4:22 pm

no, no it`s working now - Google had recognize the site - it`s fine - thanks I`m happy - and thanks for your help

**teitbite** Mon Nov 05, 2012 7:26 pm

Hi

Ok. Than there is nothing left to add

I'm glad I could help.

**GK User** Thu Nov 22, 2012 2:47 pm

This worked perfectly for me with the GK Startup!
