Google Analytics error with NOF 12

[ph1]

Hi,

I've entered my google analytics 'UA' code using Tools > Options > Current Site > Site traffic

NOF 12 adds the (now older fashioned) Google snippet code to the bottom of my html code,
but, where it's supposed to add the code it enters "$VARIABLE(GoogleAnalyticsID)" instead !

I've tried entering the UA code in many different ways but it won't insert my unique number.

I get the following published source code.....


......
<!-- NetObjects Fusion Generated BODY -->

<!-- Analytics Code Start -->
<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">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("$VARIABLE(GoogleAnalyticsID)");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>
<!-- Analytics Code End -->
</BODY>
</HTML>

Personally, I'd rather use the NEW google recommended snippet but NOF won't allow me to
insert it right at the very end of the </HEAD> section. Instead it places it's own code there and
so Analytics isn't working for me.

How can I make it work guys?

Easiest way is not to use the Site Analytics Option but rather to use the html button to insert the Google code in the head section.

thanks but when i insert the required code to place it as google suggests, just before the </HEAD> section, NOF later inserts it's own bits and pieces there and the google analytics code doesn't seem to work then. Google recommends the analytics code is the last thing before </HEAD>

Thanks anyway for your help.

Have you unchecked Google analytics in the site options?

Don't believe everything that Google tells you, it works just fine on all of my sites and I have many.

So, am I to understand that the GA code has to be added individually into every pages' html? Please advise.

No, you can add to each master border you use
