Adding web statistic tool to website code
rpk - June 11, 2009 - 16:23
Hi,
I'm working on a site and need to add the code for a commercial web statistics tool (like Google Analytics). The code is supposed to go right before the closing body tag. I tried adding the code to page.tpl.php in my theme but somehow that didn't work.
I'd be glad for any advice with this!
Thanks

Well that should work
But why not just use the excellent Google Analytics module instead?

You might use Block
You might consider adding your statistics codes to a block as an alternative instead of adding directly to the template file . Then place the block into the footing area.
I use this approach, so the code will not be overwritten when I upgrade/update a theme.
Don't forget to use FULL HTML instead of FILTERED HTML too.
That's an interesting
That's an interesting approach I hadn't considered! Thanks for the advice!

This makes sense.. I did this once with some analytics code. I upgraded the template and still haven't put it back...
