Using Google Analytics with a custom header/footer.

Normally LinkPointCart will configure your Google Analytics ID automatically if you enter your ID into step 8 of the shopping cart. However if you are using a 'Header' And 'Footer' Template then additional steps are required.

A very basic header/footer will look like this

<html>
  <head>
    <title>##HTML.PageTitle##</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    put cart here
  </body>
</html>

In order to add Google Analytic to your pages you need to add this line

<html>
  <head>
    <title>##HTML.PageTitle##</title>
    #include 'main/GoogleAnalytics.html'
  </head>
  <body>
    put cart here
  </body>
</html>

Adding Google Analytic to your header in this way will ensure that the shopping cart creates all the correct JavaScript when needed.

Note: Manually adding the JavaScript code that is provided by Google will make some cart features not function properly.
