Peter1234 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Firstly is it a good idea to use a 3rd party tracking code on cube cart sites as there is clearly a built in facility for google tracking? And secondly if I was to attach a 3rd party tracking script, to which documents should I apply it? If anyone could offer advice on this I would greatly appreciate it.

bsmither Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 "is it a good idea to use a 3rd party tracking code" It is neither good nor bad. If Google Analytics isn't giving you the reports you need, then feel free to modify the skin code to use whatever you need. "to which documents should I apply this 3rd party tracking script?" Currently, CubeCart uses the GA script in two skin template files: main.php and content.receipt.php. If your intended script has further tracking options, then other template files may become involved. I see that the data CubeCart gives to the template variables $ANALYTICS, $GA_SUM, and $GA_ITEMS isn't restricted to Google Analytics. If you replace the GA code with something else, you can still use these variables in that other code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
