Hello!

I tried to install Google Analytics on our Mahara installation floowing this guide.  elearning.3rdwavemedia.com/blog/how-to-add-google-analytics-to-your-mahara-site/2622/

But this did not work. The webpage did not load again, when I added this script.

Can you help?

Thank you!

Hi Andreas,

Could you please post your config file (not as image but as text) but obfuscate any identifying elements (in particular passwords and actual URLs!)? Without seeing what you put into the file, it's not possible to know if there is an additional character or anything else in the file that might have made its way in there accidentally.

Thanks

$cfg->additionalhtmlhead = "

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="link not allowed_www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-136158086-2"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());

gtag('config', 'UA-136158086-2');
</script>";

Mahara: Site Unavailable

Hi Andreas,

The error message mentions "unexpected 'https'". Since you didn't post any protocol in the extract of the config you posted, I wouldn't know if it relates to that or if the error message is related to something else.

Please remove the Google Analytics config parameter from your config file and confirm that your site still works correctly, and then add it back in and see if you can find the unexpected https. It's not possible for us to troubleshoot beyond that because we can't see your entire config file and the crucial information, the https, is not included in what you posted.

Cheers

Dear Kristina! The unexpected https is from the Google analytics file: 

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-136158086-2"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());

gtag('config', 'UA-136158086-2');
</script>

Thank You!

Hi Andreas,

Below, please find the code that you would need. It works locally for me, i.e. I do not see any error message.

There were a couple of problems:

• The protocol should not be there. Instead, it should be written //www...
• There were quotation marks around the URL. Since quotation marks are part of the syntax for the additional head in your case, the quotation marks would need to be converted to single quotes.

Cheers

Kristina

Dear Kristina! Great! It worked! You are a genius! This was really helpful! We also managed to get the page template back - it wqs a problem in the database (we documented the problem in the forum with screenshots).

Thank you!

Best!
