Adding Google Analytics Code to a phpLD installation
November 29th, 2008
Here’s a quick post to help you add Google Analytics tracking code to your phpLD (php link directory) template. Because phpLD uses the Smarty templating system, simply opening the footer.tpl and placing the Analytics code before the closing body tag will result in an error. You need to tell Smarty not to parse the code between the script tags. To do so, open your templates/footer.tpl file, and right before the closing body tag, place your Google code like this:
{literal} Your-Analytics-Code-Here{/literal}
Now save and put. That’s it!
Thanks. A simple answer to a common question.
Nice one! Thanks for the tip, saved me a bunch of headaches.
