Google Analytics not HTTPS friendly

Postby beley » Mon Mar 05, 2007 9:21 am

The ShopSite Google Analytics feature is not HTTPS (SSL) friendly. An entire website is SSL encrypted (behind an intranet) and I pasted in the correct SSL version of the analytics script:

Code: Select all
<script src=" https://ssl.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-1234567-8";
urchinTracker();
</script>


It looks perfect in the backoffice, but when it generates pages, it apparently doesn't even use the tracking code we provide, it just strips the UA number and generates its own:

Code: Select all
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
 _uacct="UA-1234567-8";
 _und="beeutahful.com";
 urchinTracker();
</script>


And what the heck is "beeutahful.com"?? That is not our domain but it is spit out in the ShopSite generated analytics code.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to get the patches for 8.2.1. See KBase article.http://support.shopsite.com/kbase/view_ ... onID=S5522

That fixed the problem with the domain name "beeutahful.com" but didn't fix the HTTPS error. it's still pulling from the insecure Analytics location.

I had the same problem...

To get this working you will have to obtain an https friendly version of the script. You can find detailed instructions here!
