[Resolved] SEO Tracking code stripped out
Permalink
Hello,
I'm an experienced web developer, but not so much with Concrete5,
and there is _something_ which strip the Google Analytics script out of my pages and I can't figure how.
Let me explain:
- `seo.tracking.code.footer` is correctly set and visible in admin
- All templates include `footer_bottom.php`
- `footer_bottom.php` correctly include `footer_required`
- `footer_required` is Concrete5's default one (`concrete/elements/footer_required.php`)
- I clear the cache everytime
- I look at the response using Postman, so it isn't JS related.
Originally, `footer_required.php` contains the lines:
> (yes, the condition pass)
Now if I change the code as:
then clear the cache and refresh, it prints:
> WTF!
If I add slashes:
It prints:
> OK, so `$config->get()` returns the correct value, but something clean the output of the view.
If I directly put the code:
> It works ?!
Does anyone understand what's going on ?

string(443) ""

If I add slashes:
if (empty($disableTrackingCode)) { var_dump(addslashes($config->get('seo.tracking.code.footer'))); }
It prints:
string(461) "<script> (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i[\'GoogleAnalyticsObject\']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){ (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) })(window,document,\'script\',\'https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js\',\'ga\'); ga(\'create\', \'XX-XXXXXXXX-X\', \'auto\'); ga(\'send\', \'pageview\'); </script>"
> OK, so `$config->get()` returns the correct value, but something clean the output of the view.
If I directly put the code:
// if (empty($disableTrackingCode)) {
// echo $config->get('seo.tracking.code.footer');
// }
?>
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'XX-XXXXXXXX-X', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
<?php> It works ?!
Does anyone understand what's going on ?
Hello,
Thank you for your answer.
I check with Postman, so it's not JS related.
Also, there are 2 plugins installed:
- ExchangeCore reCAPTCHA (1.1.1)
- GDPR (1.7.0)
GDPR has a setting to disable tracking codes, but after inspection, it appears to only toggle $disableTrackingCode variable which is not the case.
What bother me it's I don't understand how it can even happen.
If I print the code directly, it's not stripped out.
Maybe what I get from $config is not what it seems ?

but is it possible to use already made website analytics soft?
Dude, I'm not even surprised, because 80 percent of Google analytics users face various problems. I also used the services of Google analytics, but in the end I was tired of the fact that the service provides inaccurate data and I decided to find another service. I turned to my friends who work in the field of CEO and marketing and they told me about the

. The advantage of this service is that it is inexpensive and provides very accurate data. I paid 25 bucks and started using this service and it is really very cool. It has a very user-friendly interface, accurate data on site visits, and there is even the possibility of Identify 12 types of bad traffic. I am very glad that I learned about this service!

Finally it was the GDPR plugin.
Not sure how, but it started to work after I uninstalled that plugin.
Since I have to keep the GDPR plugin, I finally removed the tracking code from the config and pasted it in my `footer_bottom.php`...

The GDPR plugin enables or disables the tracking code depending on consent.
