Hi All

Am New to GA bought the book (Google Analytics 2.0 - Jerri L Ledford ISBN:978-0-470-17501-9) Have been using Actinic for a few years now (On & Off) but am having a few difficulties - hopefully there is some one out there who can help me set this up properly?

Have set a goal for http://www.ukhosiery.co.uk/cgi-bin/os000006.pl which appears to be working fine! I got: 1 conversions, Goal 1: receipt for my 'Goals Overview' thats fine problem is the 'E-commerce Overview' is throwing back ' Sales of 0 products generated £0.00' ie: it's not doing any analysis on the items bought! - any suggestions as to where im going wrong here pls?

Also with ref to another posting on this forum (the one i originally followed) Daves guide to Google Analytics with Actinic (http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=22335&highlight=analytics) he asks us to paste the code into the following pages Act_BrochurePrimary.html, Act_Primary.html and Act_PrimaryCheckout.html - problem is I can only find the first two & can't find Act_PrimaryCheckout.html anywhere? is this normal or is it cos I am using version 5 still (don't want to update to v8 just yet!)

Thanx in advance
Andi

V5 bloody hell, get a grip Andi, you are trying to put a Rolls Royce engine in a clapped out Ford Cortina. Analytics wasn't even in use then i don't think and i expect if you cannot find the template, it didn't exist in that version. Upgrade and do both yourself and your site a big favour, you will love V8.

I think the ability to define a different primary template to the checkout stage was added in V6. Have a look in Design > options > Layouts (or whereever it is in V5) and see if there's the option to specify a layout for the checkout pages.
