AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

In a default install of Gold R11, the old Google Analytics widget is the default tracking code in the store footer. This needs to be changed to the Universal Analytics Widget. Google isn't even offering the old code as an implementation anymore. It's bound to get deprecated sooner rather than later.

Also, I don't see any references to either analytics control in the checkout Receipt.aspx or the /layouts/fixed/Account.Master. So I don't see any way the eCommerce tracking setting could be applied to the appropriate page (receipt.aspx) in the store.

Am I missing something obvious?

Hi Joe,

You are correct. We added support for this in Gold R9 (Sept. 2014) and it seems that we should go ahead and make it the default now. I will open a new bug report.

The ecommerce tracking is probably a separate issue. I need to check with the dev team and see what that's all about.

Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks Katie.

I think I figured out what I am missing with the eCommerce tracking.

Receipt Page uses /layouts/fixed/Account.Master

The /layouts/fixed/Account.Master references /layouts/fixed/Base.Master

The /layouts/fixed/Base.Master has a reference to /ConLib/StoreFooter.ascx

The StoreFooter control is where there is a reference to the Analytics control.

So it's a long path to walk, but I believe it makes sense to me now. So I do not believe there is a problem with the default install for eCommerce tracking.

I currently have Gold R11 and see that the ConLib includes UniversalGoogleAnalyticsWidget My store footer is currently using the old GoogleAnalyticsWidget. How do I implement the Universal one? I tried to edit the reference in my footer but it broke the site.

Check the bottom of this page in the help site.

If you have any trouble, please let us know.

Thanks Katie.

I already tried that before I posted for help on the forum and it broke my site. This time I copied from the help age and pasted it in and it works. I must have typed something wrong the first time.
