Hi Christer,

if you want, you may want to try this:
Instead of modifying your pagelayout.tpl, you can just use yet-another-cool feature of ez:
Insert the JS block into the "Footer Javascript" field of your "Template Look".

For this, log in to your admin site, go to "Design" and there, click on "Look & Feel".
In that screen, scroll down a lot and just copy and paste the Google Analystics code into that text area.

This will put it at the bottom of your pages automatically..
For us, this worked very well.

Note: If your site is multilingual, you may need to put the code on all translations of this "Look&Feel"-Object.

And how to insert statcounter code into footer js ?

It looks like this:

<!-- Start of StatCounter Code -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var sc_project=xxxxxx;
var sc_invisible=0;
var sc_partition=33;
var sc_security="yyyyyyy";
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter_xhtml.js"></script><noscript><div class="statcounter"><a class="statcounter" href="http://www.statcounter.com/"><img class="statcounter" src="http://c34.statcounter.com/xxxxxxx/0/yyyyyy/" alt="invisible hit counter" /></a></div></noscript>
<!-- End of StatCounter Code -->

Those x's and y's are actually numbers referencing to my account. All I get after publishing is the text on the bottom of window:

"Code corrupted. Insert fresh copy. --> "

Probably because to me it looks like a HTML wit javascript calls, not javascript. I'm not a programmer, instead of that I'm an user who wants to put mys site out and concentrate on WORKING,

So: Where to I need to put that code ? Does it have to be formatted ? How ?

Same goes with my Google Analytics code, I actually do not know whether it works, but i leaves a text "-->" on the bottom of the window when published:

<!-- Google code -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxx-y");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>
<!-- End Google code -->

In both cases, Google and Statcounter, I have removed those HTML comment lines (like <!--- xxxx --->" ).

In both cases, these pieces of code need to be in every page and in both cases the code is ment to be injected into HTML.

The question, again, is: How do I put these into my Ez Publish Site ?

Thanks Gaetano,

I did like you told, but did not actually modify pagelayout.tpl. Instead of that I created an override as acopy of original and added my lines there.

To my great astonishment it seems to work :-)

To be honest, Ez Publish is not very user friendly system. In small companies I think it is not a good idea to even consider this, because if heavy customizing needed, there needs to be one pro resource allocated to this for the time needed and it will cost, whether the resource is from inside or outside of the company.

In case of individuals and big companies it maybe is not a problem, because individuals have the time to learn it and big companies have the resources /money. But if you are in between.... :-)

Thanks !
