How to add Google Analytics?

Hello,

normally, it goes into the index.php of I am not mistaken.
But when I create a child template the index.php cannot be copied.
I am afraid that when I add something to the index.php it will be overridden by future updates.

Anyone knows about that?

As I wrote in reply to another question of yours:

This includes making changes to the template's index.php file.

It's more practical to create a custom HTML module to add the required [Javascript] code and assign the module to one of the existing template's module positions and enable the module on the pages where you want to collect analytic information. Alternatively, if you're using a template that supports such a feature (Cassiopeia does not have a feature like this built in), it may be possible to add Javascript code "globally".

I use both approaches in my webcraft.

I have never thought of doing it into a module.
That is fantastique. I am using Cassiopeia, because I think this is also a very good and fast template with a lot possibilities if you are familiar with it. Will take some time.

Thank you.

How do I assign a module to the <head> position? Google requires one code to be placed between the <head> area.

You don't necessarily have to assign the module to the <head> section (even if that's what Google "recommends"). Try assigning the module to any position and see if Google Analytics—I assume that's what we're discussing—starts collecting data. Works for me.

Google says put the code in the <head> section of the HTML, not the "head module position". Two different things...... ?

Regardless, using the custom module makes sense.

So, I added the code into two modules, and after waiting overnight it is not working.

Try something simpler: one module (not two). What is the [Javascript] code you're using to feed your site visits into Google Analytics?

I found a very simple Plugin: https://github.com/GHSVS-de/plg_system_ ... 2022.04.08

I don't know anything about this plugin. Does it work?

Looks like. Let you know in a while. Got that from the German Joomla.de site forum.
