Opening a new issue per this comment...
Using Domain Access and Google Analytics. In order to maintain separate Google Analytics accounts on subdomains I followed this advice and placed the following code into a domain_conf.inc file:
<?php
/**
* Implements hook_domainconf() to add the google analytics account number per domain.
*/
function googleanalytics_domainconf() {
$form['googleanalytics'] = array(
'#type' => 'fieldset',
'#title' => t('Google Analytics settings'),
'#collapsible' => TRUE,
'#collapsed' => FALSE,
);
$form['googleanalytics']['googleanalytics_account'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Google Analytics account number'),
'#default_value' => variable_get('google_analytics', 'UA-'),
'#size' => 15,
'#maxlength' => 20,
'#required' => TRUE,
'#description' => t('The account number is unique to the websites domain. Click the <strong>Edit</strong> link in your Google Analytics account next to the appropriate profile on the <strong>Analytics Settings</strong> page, then select <strong>Check Status</strong> at the top-right of the table to find the account number (UA-xxxx-x) of your site. You can obtain a user account from the <a href="@url">Google Analytics</a> website.', array('@url' => 'http://www.google.com/analytics/')),
);
return $form;
}
?>The end result is the separation is working as expected within the Google accounts using individual UA-#'s for each the primary domain and subdomains. There is however a problem within the Drupal site itself:
At admin => build => domain => conf => "domain #", the Google Analytics account number field does allow input of the UA-# and it is recorded in the db and Google is receiving data to that specific account; however, the text field itself does not remain populated with the previously entered value upon revisiting or refreshing the conf page again. This creates a bit of a problem when the user attempts to update information in other fields on the domain conf page, as the user will also be required to re-enter the correct UA-# value again, or else the value will be unset.
What is very interesting, is at admin => settings => googleanalytics. If the individual UA-# values have been entered and saved from the domain conf page (above), the correct values are then pre-populated, as they should be, in the Google Analytics account number field in the respective domain's Google Analytics module configuration pages... e.g. example.com/admin/settings/googleanalytics, domain1.example.com/admin/settings/googleanalytics, domain2.example.com/admin/settings/googleanalytics, etc.
Is there a solution to getting the previously entered UA-#'s to also pre-populate the Google Analytics account number field on the domain conf pages as well?

It is possible that the switch to using DomainBatch to define these elements affected the form handling.
See #545946: Domain Mollom for another way to expose your data to Domain Conf.
If this is the case, we have to update the documentation.

Nope, this is a bug in domain conf. This patch should fix it. Apply from the root domain directory.
#3
Worked like a champ! Thank you very much!
Side Note: This patch applied to domain_conf.module (28 Jun 2009 V 1.49) starting on line 457. I applied the patch manually instead to 6.x-2.0-rc8 domain_conf.module (14 Jun 2009 V 1.46) beginning on line 448.

Yes, the patch is against HEAD, so this is fine.
Committed to HEAD. D5 version attached and needs a test.
#5
It will be on 6.x-2.0-RC10 ?
#6
It is already in rc9. There will be no rc10, just a 6.x.2.0 final.
#7
Nice to read it, so to add multiple google analytics codes, I?ll need to follow these up instructions, because I don't find into user interface the possibility to do it, for example there:
admin/build/domain/batch
admin/settings/googleanalytics
There will be always need to modify domain_conf.inc or in future we'll be free to use UI.?
#8
It is available in the UI (at least using the patch on rc8) at:
/admin/build/domain/conf/THEDOMAINID
or just go to Administer>Site building>Domains and click on the 'settings' link for the domain you want to edit. There should be a Google Analytics settings box at the bottom for you to enter your UA account number.
#9
I'm using rc9 without patch and I can't find it in UI, I have attached what I see on this page.
#10
I may have misread your original comment, sorry. You do need the domain_conf.inc file above for this to work.
#11
You have to implement the hook yourself, or convince the Google Analytics maintainer to put it in the module.

I have done it now, with my bad english:

D5 does not pass in the null option, so this is done.
