I have everything working now and you are correct in that I do not received any warning messages if everything is set up correctly. The only thing I am no longer getting is the goal funnel visualization.  Did all of the URL's change for V1.1?

Is there any updates with this module? Is the goal funnel visualization working or a user specific glitch? I am using Joomla 1.5 and VM 1.1 with the paypal module.

More importantly, I am wondering if this module will track non-store pages as well. Currently I have the GA code in my templates html code, so I need to know if I should remove that one. I guess I could just make a new html module with the GA code and only display it on non-store pages. What do you guys think?

Also, will this module work if I install sh404_SEF later like I am planning on?

Thanks

Thank You for all your Hard Work, I am using an earlier version on Joomla 1.0.? with VM and it works GREAT.  Cannot wait to see the 1.5 code when you get it done.

Let me know if you need a beta tester, I have a medium traffic eCommerce site and could sure use all the features I am sure you have planed for newer versions.

God Bless

Just an FYI on this module, the latest version is available at www.joomlaxtc.com, it works with J1.0 or J1.5 and VM1.0 or VM1.1 

[Bruce Morgan]

I recently upgrade Joomla to 1.5 and and I installed your latest version for that system.  However, the goal funnel visualization does not work at all with VM 1.1.x.  I can only assume the URL's are changed.  Can you commnet on this?  Has anyone else been able to fix this?

Hi,

If you use VirtueMart 1.1.x on Joomla 1.0.x like me, you must change one line on the module in order to work properly.

-Edit the file "mod_jxtc_vmga.php".

-Locate:

Code:

$urchinString = $page.mosgetparam( $_REQUEST, 'checkout_this_step', 1);

-Change to:

Code:

$urchinString = $page.ps_checkout::get_current_stage();

This correct the number of checkout step.

Thanks

Well.. as usual, google was right.

What urchin (or any page source information) was showing wasn't enough.  I had to go through all of visited pages on analytics to find the names of the pages that are being reported.  I would assume that those are the "dummy pages" that you are building?

The bottom line is... the partial urls like checkpout.index1 aren't enough to create the Google funnel.  Anyone who isn't seeing their funnel should wade through the reported pages in analytics and find the full url that has those variables as part of it... then place the FULL url that analytics is collecting on its visited pages list into the funnel  A day later, you should see a funnel and be able to track your cart.

Mike,
I have exactly the problem you solved, can you please post the url you used in your funnel as I am getting confused with that full url issue ?
Thanks a lot.

I figured out the same thing a few months ago and thought I had posted the answer.  Maybe it was posted on a similar thread.  Anyway I believe the funnel URL are listed in the installation guide.  I believe that I informed the author of the need for the complete (not relative) URL and I think he made the change in thr user maual.  Take a look there and if you cannot find it I can copy if gotm my GA setup file

Thanks Bruce for your answer. I checked the installation guide but it only mentions relative urls.

I use 1.4 version found on this thread for Vm 1.0.

I would be interested in your GA set file if you don't mind.

Thanks

[Bruce Morgan]

Sure.  I was mistaken.  Relative URL's are okay.  I think what I discovered what was missing before was the word "checkout" from the URL's below:

/checkout.index1
/checkout.index2
/checkout.index3
/checkout.index4
/checkout.thankyou

I'm having an issue with the Google Analytics module where the $page variable is not set to "shop.cart" like it should be for the first step of the checkout process.  I have my VirtueMart setup for No Account creation and we do not have a shipping method or location steps because we only sell downloadable software so I wonder if that could be what causes this.  So my pages look like the following which I don't think is correct.

After Add to Cart:  pageTracker._trackPageview("");
Billing/Registration: pageTracker._trackPageview("checkout.index1");
Payment Method: pageTracker._trackPageview("checkout.index1");
Confirm Order: pageTracker._trackPageview("checkout.index2");
Thank for your Order: pageTracker._trackPageview(" checkout.thankyou");

I also noticed that if the user makes an error during the process like entering the credit card incorrectly and the Payment Method form is displayed again, the pageTracker._trackPageview(""); is empty again which would look like they've exited to "index.php".

Any help or suggestions would be great.  I've looked at possible fixes for this but other than customizing the code myself haven't see any.

I'm having an issue with the Google Analytics module where the $page variable is not set to "shop.cart"

Ok, my bad, I realized now that the shop\.cart is always in the query string of the url for the "Add to Cart" buttons so it doesn't need to be set.  I had set up some of my own custom Add to Cart forms from other parts of the site using Post which is where I went wrong.  Making these GETs will always keep shop\.cart in the URL.

I also made some minor changes to get the Billing Info step by itself as shop.billinginfo instead of showing the same as checkout.index1.

Thanks for this excellent module!

One more question: which is the URL that I need to set in GA.

If I want to use the "checkout.index1" page. Do I only need to set "checkout.index1" or do I need to set www.domain.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=checkout.index1.php ?
