This is a clean install of 1.4.8.
The code provided by Google is rendering at the bottom of the page. I simply pasted the Google code in the provided box on the module edit page and enabled the module.

Mate I checked the code in the page. Some how the rendering not right. Did you copy the code directly from the Analytics ? Its not what it should look like btw !

As far as I see there might be issue with your copying or problem with template rendering. You can start here i suppose.

As mentioned, the analytics code you have looks wrong... you have HTML entities in there instead of the <, > and " characters... as a result, the browser doesn't see them as tags and just stuff it all on the page.
It should look like this in the source :
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">
...
Code
...
</script>

The script tags are in place in the back end and being converted to HTML entities when rendered by the browser. To be sure, I pasted the code into a plain text document and then copied and pasted again with the same (undesirable) results.
Here's the code;
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-19244135-5']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
There must be a simple explanation...anyone?
I uninstalled the module and pasted the code into the header.tpl file...badda-boom...badda-bing!

Might be something to do with your template did you build it yourself or purchased it from some where ?
I have never seen this before we support several carts all from 1.3.7 right up to latest ! I have a strong feeling it might be to do with your "Scroll Back to Top" functionlity but I might be wrong.
Cheers

I purchased it from the Opencart Store.

I tested the "Scroll Back to Top" script and it isn't the culprit.
I'll query the template developer for an answer.
Thanks

Yes absolutly. If you bought the template developer should be able to point you in right direction if there is an issue.
Goodluck.

Could someone please tell me where to go to find the pages I should paste the coding into? I.e. catalog/view/theme/etc..... I'm still learning and am not sure which pages need to be modified.
TIA.

ktutu, the Google Analytics code is pasted into the appropriate box in the admin panel: Extensions > Modules > Google Analytics. Nice and simple.
