Google Analytics Missing Ecommerce Data

Hi,
I have an "Analytics Notification" stating that my site has missing ecommerce data - this is the link attached to the message details... https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1037063?hl=en&utm_id=ad
Is it possible for Google Analytics to pick up Bc Ecommerce data and, if so, how?
Kind regards,
Frank.

  • Can Google Analytics provide reports/data from a Contact Form created in Muse?

    My Muse site will be hosted by a third party hosting service, as I am creating it for a client. My client wants to be able to see a monthly report of inquiries submitted via the contact form, which was created in Muse. Can Google Analytics provide reports/data from a Contact Form created in Muse?

    Muse makes files through interface design approach. It has actually nothing to do with the running of your site. And this forum is for Business Catalyst, Adobe's CMS. If you are not using that and a 3rd party then for tracking etc that is based on you or someone else installing the google analytics code on that website. Muse has nothing to do with that.
    Here is google's starting guide for that.

  • Google-analytics hangs the program - help?

    When browsing, some programs use google-analytics to collect data. when this happens the program just hangs.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • How to send datas properly to Google Analytics (ANE-Google-Analytics)

    Hello,
    I meet a problem when I'm using the native extension created by Alessandro Bianco : ANE-Google-Analytics. I tested this code many times, in the context of AIR mobile application, but I tested it without any success to add new datas to Google Analytic history. I'm really connected to internet properly.
    Moreover I think that I've made my functions as required by the author : Can you look at my code below to detect some errors to communicate with Google Analytics ?

    Youtch,
         I'm not sure exactly what your issue is, but I was unable to connect and looked at your code, modifying it for my purposes and it fixed my code. Hopefully it can help fix yours.
         I did notice one thing as I went through, however:
    You use
       var compteur:int = 0;
                var intervalGtrackerCnxOuvrir:uint = setInterval(function():void{
                    counter++;
    The compteur does not match the counter variable. It appears a problem with Franglais is the issue here.
    In the event it may help, here is the code I used:
    In my creationComplete function:
    GoogleAnalytics.initialize("UA-47303719-1");
    Here is the code in my app.xml

  • Only in firefox: certain websites are blocked by google analytics, "getting data from.." on statusbar, why?

    When entering some websites the startpage is shown fore maybe half a sec. then a blank page and message "getting data from google.analytics.com" on statusbar and a progressbar stuck on 3/4. No problem entering the site in IE.

  • Data tracking with Google Analytics

    Hi
    Can I use Google Analytics with iweb?

    Yes. You can add it to each page using iWeb SEO which requires it to be reapplied each time you edit a page.
    You can also add it an HTML snippet which is a one time application. However, the snippet requires a bit more effort up front. Wyodor posted detailed instructions on how: IWEB : ADDING GOOGLE ANALYTICS WITHOUT EDITING THE WEBPAGE.
    Have you looked at the information that you can get about visitors by using a counter from StatCounter.com. It's quite comprehensive and much easier to add to each page.
    Click to view full size
    Old Toad's Tutorial #13 - Adding a StatCounter as an HTML Snippet describes how to add the counter.
    I've used both and find the info from StatCounter more complete regarding visitors.

  • IWeb with Google Analytics

    I spent all morning setting up Google Analytics. Looked at dozens of posts here with loads of misinformation. iWeb 09 does work with Google Analytics. Here's what worked for me. They key was to make sure my URL ended with a /. That is, it didn't work when I pointed to www.testsite.com but it did with www.testsite.com/
    Go to Google Analytics to set up your site and get your code
    (something like this:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    try {
    var pageTracker = gat.getTracker("UA-xxxxx-1");
    pageTracker._trackPageview();
    } catch(err) {}</script>
    Add an HTML snippet (Show Media, click on Widgets). I dragged the HTML widget to the footer (as you drag, the bottom inch illuminates so you know you're in the footer.) Paste in the code you got from Google. Re-size as desired and then post the same HTML snippet into each page in your web. Just click on each page and paste. It will go to the same place on each page.
    Oh, one other odd thing: in the Google Analytics display, the current day is not shown. Click on the date range to choose today and you should see results fairly quickly.

    Hello ruralart,
    After saving the automator workflow as a Finder Plugin,
    mount you iDisk in the finder (ex. click on the iDisk icon in the left pane of a Finder window),
    goto the folder iDisk / Web / Sites , select this folder "sites",
    control-click on the folder to run the “Add Google Analytics” workflow.
    Note : when you have iDisk Sync = ON, you'll see that the folder "web" is an alias so Automator will not work in this situation. You'll have to turn iDisk Sync OFF.
    Kind regards,
    Leo

  • Why does DW CC 2014.1 Fluid Grid load HTML file that contains Google Analytics Tracking Code script so slowly?

    I exclusively work in Fluid Grid since my site is a Responsive Web Design.  I'm having trouble with slow load time in DW CC 2014.1, when my file, as they all do of course, has the Google Analytics Tracking Code script.
    I'm on a Windows 8.1 using a Dell Precision M3800 Laptop with Memory 16GB (2x8GB) 1600MHz DDR3 . Each of our site's 180 or so web pages, of course, has its Google Analytics Tracking Code script. It is placed, following Google instructions, as the last entry in the <head>.  Google Analytics does not instruct to place the script in the JS Folder with an scr to it, but rather in the <head>.  It takes up to one and a half or two minutes for DW CC 2014.1 to load the Google Analytics Tracking Code script .  That is, the grid does not show in Live View until finally analytics.js shows up in the Document Toolbar. A minute or two can add up when every page you load takes this long.  And, making new Fluid Grid pages, as is done, through the Save As command; every new page made you have to deal with the minute or two wait time since all those pages have the Google Analytics Tracking Code script.  Therefore, this time component alone, assuming I'm accessing and/or making 20 pages per week (and in our business this is easily the case) the math is that I'm wasting between 17 and 35 hours per year just with DW CC 2014.1 loading the much needed Google Analytics Tracking Code script.
    I have loaded HTML files that do not have the Google Analytics Tracking Code script as a test and those files load at the normal quick speed.
    Therefore, the new Chromium Embedded Framework browser engine has a serious load problem when it confronts an HTML5 file with a Google Analytics Tracking Code script.  Oddly, the prior DW CC 2014 version, with the old browser engine did not have this slow-load problem since I was loading these same files in that DW CC version up until October 8th or so.
    I think this new browser engine is a Google platform that apparently has a problem rendering or loading a Google Analytics Tracking Code script.  That makes no sense.
    Anyone else had this particular slow-load problem with DW CC 2014.1?
    Thanks.

    Wow.  That sure solved the slow-load problem, at least using your suggested snippet in a simple test HTML file.
    Per Google's instructions, I pasted the snippet before the closing </head> tag.  And, even in that positioning in the file; the file loaded at the speed (about one second) that it did prior to DW 2014.1.
    Two questions.
    Will this snippet provide the same tracking data as my current GA snippet?
    Because my current GA snippet is in about 200 web pages, can I retain the old snippet in most of them and place the new snippet in my approximately 5 main web pages as well as my templates so my new pages, as well as my main pages, have the new snippet.  That is, can I have both snippets (i.e. old snippet in earlier pages and new snippet in main pages and new pages to be made going forward) in my website at the same time?
    Of course I would not have both the old and new snippet in a web page at the same time.
    I greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can provide me on this issue and thank all of you in advance.

  • Getting href from button to third party cart to show correctly in Google Analytics

    Is there a trick to getting the button linked to third party shopping cart to appear correctly in Google Analytics? I need a special  href with an onclick attribute.  My third party gave the onclick code to me but it is more complicated than just sticking it into the hyperlink field provided.  Will the link still work? Is there a trick to this?
    For example:
    attribute: onclick="_gaq.push(['_link', 'https://secure.thinkreservations.com/mycompany/reservations']); return false;"
    I am currently using the Upload to FTP feature and do NOT touch the actual code. That would sound like a nightmare to edit the HTML every time I want to upload again. Is there a trick I am missing?
    I am also wanting to track the click-to-call or click-to-email buttons I have on mobile.
    Thanks!

    I am also wondering if this can be done now that we have layers.....maybe object>insert HTML grouping with a button..... I tried layering over a button with the href and onclick magic but nothing happened. 
    Any help would be great!

  • Trying to add Google Analytics to Dreamweaver site, not working

    I had Google Analytics set up on my dreamweaver site and all of a sudden it stopped reporting data.  A co-worker who no longer works here was working on the page to fix some non-relevant errors and as a result Google Analytics stopped working.  The strange thing is I had it pasted on every page of our site and nothing is reporting data.  It is reporting a syntax error on line x...but I am unaware what and how to fix that.  Help?

    You're not giving us much to go on.  Go to your Google WebMaster account & grab the GA tracking code.  Re-insert it into some test pages.    Analytics reporting may not show anything for several days.

  • Flash Player 10 causing a Google Analytics Admin Problem

    Since I upgraded to Flash Play 10, inside the admin of Google Analytics is not working.  When I log in to Google Analytics, Flash Play 10 is a part of adjusting the dates and it is causing some type of error that I can't figure out.  All I want to do is be able to adjust dates within Google Analytics and I can't.
    It happens in the three different browsers FireFox, IE and Chrome.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling an older version but it still isn't working.
    The reason I believe it is the flash play is because when I open the date section in Analytics I can right click and it give me the option of 'About Adobe Flash Player" and shortly after updating I opened analytics and my browser crashed.
    I am going to uninstall my browsers to see if that will work but if anyone else has had this problem and solved it please help me out.
    Thanks

    Hi, Thanks for the feedback. Yes that does help in many cases. Sometimes updating the device drivers also.
    The hardware acceleration sometimes can't be used by every system. You can read about the system requirements and what and how it works here:

  • Query parameters in BC and setting up Site Search tracking in Google Analytics

    I would like to enable site search tracking in Google Analytics for a non-eCommerce BC site but I do not know what query parameters I need to use to enable site search tracking - can anyone help?!
    I can turn Site search tracking 'on' in Analytics but it requires the query parameters to be entered e.g. 's' or 'q'. I have the option of selecting 'strip query parameters out of URL' but I'm not sure what this does and what needs to be done in the backend of BC?
    Usually, when an internal search is done within a website (and in this case it is www.newcastleairport.com.au), the URL will indicate the parameters by adding a 'en&q' in the URL. To test what metric would be used for the Airport, I did a search on 'annual report' and the following URL came up (not containing an en&q)
    http://www.newcastleairport.com.au/Default.aspx?SiteSearchID=1012&ID=/travellers-search-re sult#.U3A3HmQ-JU0
    Any help would be appreciated. There was a previous discussion re this subject but it remained unanswered but there was a suggestion around using javascript within a web app?
    Cheers

    I am trying to set up a hybrid environment and followed the blog posts. Everything was set up as per the guidelines mentioned but still I am not able to fetch any results from SharePoint Online inside my on-premise environment. 
    There are no errors coming as such. Its just that my on-premise is showing no results from SPO. However if the same user logs on into the Office 365 SPO site he is able to see SPO search results. That means there is no permission related issue specific to
    test user. 
    I am totally out of ideas now. In case you have faced similar issues while setting up the same then any pointers to troubleshoot would be very helpful.
    The link to my query that I have asked on the forums is

    Thanks,

  • Difference between google analytics and bc report?

    When I compare GA and BC, BC shows me more than double number of visitors and pageviews than google.
    For example June:
    Visitors/Pageviews
    BC: 1386/4087
    GA: 492/1647
    Thats so much difference, that I don't know which system I should trust. How can I interpret this data and how many visitors are visiting my site in reality?

    Hi,
    Our analytics work fundamentally differently like other services (Google, etc) so there can be discrepancies in the data between them.
    For example, Google Analytics counts a page visit as a 30 minute session. If the person is inactive for 31 minutes and then clicks again, it counts as 2 visits.
    As for BC individual visits are given a 1 hour session before they time out and are counted as a new visitor. Unique visitors are kept unique via a cookie for up to 1 year.
    Every time a user interacts with the site this is refreshed (so if you view a page once and then 30 minutes later, the timeout would not occur until 1hr 30 min after you viewed the page the first time).
    Google relies on JavaScript to record usage whilst BC does it each time it serves content. We use a number of methodologies to detect bots including user-agent string, repetitive hits from same IP or location amongst others. There's the reason why the numbers are different and cannot be compared. You can compare the results provided either by Business Catalyst for a long period or by Google Analytics, but not one method with the other.
    Whilst there may be differences in the exact number of reported visits (as Google Analytics and BC have different ‘count’ processes and Bot handling mechanism’s) the main use for visitor statistics should be to view trends over time, which you should find are similar between GA and BC reporting.
    If needing us to look into your report further please log a ticket and we'll advise.
    Hope this helps!

  • Reports showing more visits than Google Analytics

    Question:
    I have been receiving significantly high reports on numerous blogs posted across two different sites. When I compare the BC report to Google Analytics it's a massive different in numbers/page views.
    Page views on web pages seems normal. But the blog reporting is significantly higher than what we suspect.
    Answer:
    A couple of things:
    1, Always expect a 10% difference between BC reporting and a JavaScript based solution such as Google Analytics, as roughly 10% of web users browse with JavaScript disabled.
    With this disabled, Google Analytics has a very limited ability for tracking unique user visits, as it can't place a cookie on their system or send data back to the Google servers.
    As BC's tracking is all done server side (ie. not some code snippet you're pasting in), it should be able to more accurately measure these statistics.
    2. Some web crawlers may not bypass BCs filtering and hence be recorded as hits.
    For instance, with your blog you may have more heavily distributed links throughout the web via social media. A whole range of crawlers, archivers and indexers then visit those links to absorb the information and further spread it.
    Most of these automated browsers have JavaScript disabled, so again, your Google Analytics simply won't pick their traffic up.
    BC will record their traffic however, and they actively try to filter these out - but I'm sure some inevitably fall through the cracks  and get marked as legitimate traffic.

    Hi,
    Its just a general thought and I realize you know your application and user community better I do, but do you think your users are going to be very happy when they are presented with a report with more than a hundred columns? Have you considered maybe presenting the data in some sort of rolled up form from which the user can then drill down to the data they are particularly interested in. Also, I'm sure your LAN administrator would be happy not to see 100+ column by x number row reports being regularly shipped across the network.
    Also, 100+ column reports suggests tables with 100+ columns which are probably not designed in a very relationally compliant way. I find that good DB design usually results in applications that have to make less compromises, such as hacking export files in order to fool the API into making ridiculous, unsupported and unsupportable compromises.
    Just a thought..................

  • Problems getting google analytics after successful implementation

    Ok, so I pasted the analytics code into the page properties meta data.
    I am 99% sure this has been done correctly because I went to my site, and viewed page source.
    The tracking code is in the header.
    So my problem is that when I go onto google analytics, it isn't collecting any data. I've tried accessing the site from multiple computers.
    I just created my google analytics account about an hour ago...that's the only other variable I can think of.
    Help is much appreciated!
    Here's the link to my site if it helps:

    Thanks!

    From - https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1008083?hl=en
    It can take up to 24 hours for the Google Analytics servers to update after you make a change to your tracking code, so if you’ve recently completed or changed your set up, wait before you check to see if it’s working.
    Thanks,
    Vinayak
