You guys do such an amazing job and I figured since you have the best templates I have seen in design and they have some of the best cutting edge additions, why not toss this out there.

Everyone, and I mean everyone needs analytics and everyone that has it needs the code on the thank you/confirmation page (most common for sales confirmation) This means that everyone has to open the page and add it manually as there is not a module that does them all. Well I love how your templates add other nice features why not put a section for that code? You would eliminate and fulfill the module/components that do that in a single template and remove any unlikely third party issues with those said modules.

That's another reason to buy your templates, haha, as if you need more.

The latest version of VP ProMart and VP MegaMart already have the feature to add the Google Analytics codes to your site from template settings area (Custom Script in Head).

You do not need to add any separate Analytics codes to track order confirmation page. Google Analytics codes need to added to every page of your site which you can add from Template Settings area. When this is added then you can track the cart page and order confirmation page in your Google Analytics account through page url. This feature is already available in Google Anaytics and you can find them under Goals option.

You are correct and incorrect. Do a Google search for adding the tracking code to the "thankyou" page. That is a very common place to put the icon/image/pixel that fires for tracking. I have in fact, installed 3 on our site for marketing purposes. And every update I have to reinstall them. The new VP_Promart and Megamart do not offer that in the backend. I have both running on different sites
(by the way I do love the megamart but I wish it was responsive.)
Anyways, I just thought it would be a good idea and so I shared with you. No harm on foul.

I think you did not get me correctly. I was just trying help you with modern method of tracking goals using Google Analytics.

You do not need to put any separate Analytic codes in the "Thank You" page to track your success rate. You just need to add the general Analytics codes in every pages of your site which can be done from the template settings area of VP ProMart and VP MegaMart. Then set the Page URL of your Thank You page as a Goal in Google Analytics. It will now automatically track the success rate of your site. Read this Google document which explain this feature in detail: support.google.com/analytics/bin/answer....&answer=1032415&rd=1

This way you can create unlimited Goals. You can also set a separate Goal for Cart page. Then compare the success rate of Thank You page with Cart page. It will help you to understand how many customer did not process their order after reaching the cart page and help you to generate your customers foot prints.

Just for your information, we also use the same methodology to track/generate our sales report on Google Analytics.

lol I think this is a matter of confusion then. I'll try to clear up. We are using the current Google analytics along with others and those are particular to our uses and tracking purposes. The goals are set up to track our own setting and marketing materials.

When you use a marketing company such as jumpfly or finditquick, they will give you a tracking code that is particular to them. This code must be put on the confirmation page in order to work with their systems.

When you do a ppc add you need to add the code as instructed. That is why there are so many Google searches on the subject/issue and there are always hacks to do as I have done. It is even a feature in the rupostel OPC, which I am not using, and like your current code addition field it would just be a great addition. That's all. hope that made what I am talking about clearer.

You're awesome

Yes, it is clear. Basically it is a requirement of Jumpfly or Finditquick to generate your site's report in their system. I told you the methodology suggested by Google and Joomla, used by most of the people in Joomla world.

Thanks for sharing your requirement.

Solution for those on your forum wanting to know where to put in the custom tracking for final page.
templates/vp_promart/html/cart/order_done.php Just addedbefore the last echoat the bottom of the page. This is the final page for saying they have paid (unless paypal or google wallet) but still fires your tracking pixel.

Okay.

I am sorry to bother you. Why does the order_done.php in the template have no ?> closing tag and in the first echo is has an <h1 tag with a </h3> closer?I checked the vm stock one and it has the closing tag and the h1 tag is closed with an h1 tag.

Pure PHP does not need to closing tag.

You can change the h3 closing tag to h1. It looks like a typo error.
