Track registration source in Analytics - Goals

[Follower19]

How to track registration in IPBoard forum with Google Analytics?. in which file and place I need to add the goal code ?

You don't need to add a goal code to ipb. Just create a GA goal with following parameters:

Goal URL: /forum/register/?do=validating

Step 1 URL: /forum/register/

If you also want to track validated members use:

Goal URL: /forum/register/?do=validate

Step 1 URL: /forum/register/

Step 2 URL: /forum/register/?do=validating

That's how I do it.

All assuming you've already put the google analytics tracking code in to the google analytics tracking code box in the ACP, which is found by typing google in to the search and clicking the relevant result.

I tried it, but it doesn't work for me. I have only result for  /register but not  /register/?do=validating

It's not working for me, because when somebody register - his URL path is just /register/

Hi,

Is it working for you @Apfelstrudel ?

I don't understand why this solution is not working at all on my site.

[Apfelstrudel]

Yes, it is. But goal 2 of my examples works not in 100% of the cases. I think the problem is that the validating page doesn't run the necessary GA code before it does the page redirect.

Goal 1 works perfectly.
