Google Analytics for WordPress: my latest plugin

Yeah, this one rocks. Tested it, thought along, i'm loving it.

Could you please take out the one level of directoy on your download? It's a minor thing to worry about, but it tripped me up when I dropped the main folder in my plugins. Thanks, and testing it out now.

Nice plugin but I do not like the fact that the JavaScript is placed on top of the page in the source code. Other trackers place this code at the end so it won't slow down the loading of the page.

Also, I prefer the plugin options to be in under the options tab and not under the plugins tab, but this is just a matter of personal taste :)

Thanks Johan. I had the same question on the placement of the Analytics code in the header of the HTML code as opposed to the bottom. Glad to see there is a good reason you chose that route. Thanks for your efforts!

I gotta say this, I've had to deactivate this recently due to the fact that when you preview an article, GAPP will register it as a page view.

I never noticed this before until I started looking at all my data.

If you ever get this fixed I might reactivate, until then, I've resorted to the hardcoded method, which works nice in the header. I haven't check for any updates, so I'm sorry if this has been corrected.

Works good though, but maybe too good.

With the new tracking code out, will you be updating the plugin to support it?

Hi Joost,

Thanks for the plugin. One problem I noticed is that I was getting the outbound click tracking code generated into my RSS feed. This caused warnings from the RSS feed validator.

This may have been an interaction with another plugin. In any case I was able to work around this problem by modifying the plugin to check if it is being called when processing a feed.

I added checks for "is_feed()" at the statr of the functions "the_content", "comment_text", "comment_author_link" and "bookmarks". In each case if we are processing a feed then the buffer is returned unchanged.

Regards,

Andrew.
