I am using Gallery 2.3.
Google analytics have changed their code from Urchin to gs.jsp. When i paste the new code into the theme.tpl footer the page, the gallery and nothing else loads. The whole website just goes blank. How can I solve this?
The website where it is installed:
http://www.alternativephotography.com/gallery/main.php
OLD URCHIN CODE:
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-1949563-1";
urchinTracker();
</script>
NEW 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">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-1949563-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>
Very grateful for any help!

Make sure your javascript is wrapped with {literal}
Example:
{literal}
<script....
REST OF JAVASCRIPT
</script>
{/literal}

That worked, thank you! Just a question, do i have to do this with all JavaScript? There is Google ad code before that is also JavaScript, but the Gallery ran fine without the {literal} tags on this code...?

It's not specifically a javascript issue.
Any time you want to put a { or a } in a smarty template (.tpl) file you have to find some way to stop Smarty from interpreting it as the beginning or end of a Smarty tag. Javascript uses { and } characters, so it crops up as an issue with Javascript. Either put the whole section in between Smarty {literal} and {/literal} tags as Nivekiam suggests or you can replace every { with "{ldelim}" and every } with "{rdelim}" instead.

Ok, got it, that's why the JavaScript a few lines above works just fine... it has none of those... thanks a lot!

Can you update the codex page to adding Google analytics to assit others?
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:How_To_Add_Google_Analytics_to_my_Gallery_2
Your contribution will help others with the same issue in the future.

I'd be happy to, can you add me to the group "User" somehow?
When I want to edit, it says:
"The action you have requested is limited to users in the group Users."
And the link "users" takes me nowhere.

You'll need to create an account on the wiki. The user management for the codex (wiki) is separate from the forums.
