Adding google conversion tracking on a conditional basis to a template

Question

Hi there
I have a series of snippets of google conversion tracking code that I need to add just before the body tag to a handful of pages.
It's not sufficient to just add it to the template that all these pages are based on as it varies from page to page.
Also if I add it to the actual pages (rather than the template) then I can't insert it just prior to the </body> tag as stipulated.
So I need to conditionally add it to the template, testing for page name. But I can't find any documentation on how to achieve this.
Any clues would be appreciated.

You could potentially do this with some JS trickery, but you can also use BC's alpha "liquid" mark up to do this in your template.
In your template, use this code just before your </body> tag: https://gist.github.com/3095613
This is using the "page" global., which you can find documentation for at: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/919/cpsid_91970.html?bc-partner#main_Page - check out the examples for more uses of Liquid. The above syntax is pretty simple though and should suit your needs.
Just replace "firstpagename" and "secondpagename" with the actual page names you want to check against, then you can add additional {% elseif page.name == 'whateveryouwant' %} clauses before the final {% endif %}. There's no limit on the number of if statements you loop through. This will let you conditionally render different JavaScript blocks based on page name.
Also refer to: https://github.com/shopify/liquid/wiki/Liquid-for-Designers for info on the Liquid syntax.
