JavaScript - Google Analytics

Afternoon All,

I have managed to secure some JavaScript code from another site that allows me to access values from within my Google Analytics cookie:


<!-- begin Referer Check -->

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write("<script src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'>" + "</sc" + "ript>");
</script>

<script type='text/javascript'>
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-1-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();

//
// This is a function that I "borrowed" from the urchin.js file.
// It parses a string and returns a value. I used it to get
// data from the __utmz cookie
//
function _uGC(l,n,s) {
if (!l || l=="" || !n || n=="" || !s || s=="") return "-";
var i,i2,i3,c="-";
i=l.indexOf(n);
i3=n.indexOf("=")+1;
if (i > -1) {
i2=l.indexOf(s,i); if (i2 < 0) { i2=l.length; }
c=l.substring((i+i3),i2);
}
return c;
}

//
// Get the __utmz cookie value. This is the cookies that
// stores all campaign information.
//
var z = _uGC(document.cookie, '__utmz=', ';');
//
// The cookie has a number of name-value pairs.
// Each identifies an aspect of the campaign.
//
// utmcsr = campaign source
// utmcmd = campaign medium
// utmctr = campaign term (keyword)
// utmcct = campaign content
// utmccn = campaign name
// utmgclid = unique identifier used when AdWords auto tagging is enabled
//
// This is very basic code. It separates the campaign-tracking cookie
// and populates a variable with each piece of campaign info.
//
var source = _uGC(z, 'utmcsr=', '|');
var medium = _uGC(z, 'utmcmd=', '|');
var term = _uGC(z, 'utmctr=', '|');
var content = _uGC(z, 'utmcct=', '|');
var campaign = _uGC(z, 'utmccn=', '|');
var gclid = _uGC(z, 'utmgclid=', '|');
//
// The gclid is ONLY present when auto tagging has been enabled.
// All other variables, except the term variable, will be '(not set)'.
// Because the gclid is only present for Google AdWords we can
// populate some other variables that would normally
// be left blank.
//
if (gclid !="-") {
source = 'google';
medium = 'cpc';
}
// Data from the custom segmentation cookie can also be passed
// back to your server via a hidden form field
var csegment = _uGC(document.cookie, '__utmv=', ';');
if (csegment != '-') {
var csegmentex = /[1-9]*?\.(.*)/;
csegment = csegment.match(csegmentex);
csegment = csegment[1];
} else {
csegment = '(not set)';
}

//
// One more bonus piece of information.
// We're going to extract the number of visits that the visitor
// has generated. It's also stored in a cookie, the __utma cookis
//
var a = _uGC(document.cookie, '__utma=', ';');
var aParts = a.split(".");
var nVisits = aParts[5];

/*

function populateHiddenFields(f) {
f.source.value = source;
f.medium.value = medium;
f.term.value = term;
f.content.value = content;
f.campaign.value = campaign;
f.segment.value = csegment;
f.numVisits.value = nVisits;

alert('source='+f.source.value);
alert('medium='+f.medium.value);
alert('term='+f.term.value);
alert('content='+f.content.value);
alert('campaign='+f.campaign.value);
alert('custom segment='+f.segment.value);
alert('number of visits='+f.numVisits.value);

return false;
}

*/

document.forms["cforms2"].elements["cf2_field_1"].value = source;

</script>




The key outputs from this code are the vars:

source
medium
term
content
campaign
csegment
nVisits

My question is, how can I get the source var into the hidden field in the form in my footer http://www.yogaholidays.co?

I have tried to pass just the source var from within the <script> tags.

document.forms["cforms2"].elements["cf2_field_1"].value = source;

I have commented out part of original code that I did not think I needed.

Any help that can be offered I would be grateful, ultimately I would like to be able to pass all these values to hidden fields.

Thanks

I have a google analytics code that I need to put on the website I have done. So my question is can I add this code as an external .js page or would I need to put it on the page itself? As I would rather place it as an external file.

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-xxxxxx-x");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}
</script>

I have a page with a GoogleMap with a GoogleBar and I would like the GoogleBar to appear with something written in it already and to have that search executed. In other words, I would like to "write something to the GoogleBar and press Enter" automatically as soon as the map loads. How can I do this?

btw: By GoogleBar, I mean the search bar that appears on the map after using the enableGoogleBar() function.

Hi,

I'm not sure where I have translated this incorrectly. I have one google map embedded on my page which works fine. But I wanted to add a second one. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to have a second page which is called later on with all the details on it for the second map. However although I think (this I presume is where I went wrong) I have replicated the instructions correctly the place holder for the second map just remains blank.

This is the code for my called page with the instructions for the second map:
PHP Code:
<?php
echo $_POST['Map'] . '<br />';
?>

<div id="placemap_canvas"></div>

<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<style type="text/css"> 
    html {height:250px}
    body {height:250px}
    #placemap_canvas {width:100%; height:150px;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript"
    src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true" />
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
        var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng (
<?php

include("dbconnect.php");

            $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM regions
            WHERE RegionPId='{$_POST['Map']}'");

            while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
                echo $row['maplink'];
                }

        mysql_close($con);
?>
);
        var myOptions = {
            zoom: 4,
            center: latlng,
            mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
        };
        var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("placemap_canvas"),
            myOptions);

    }

</script>

And this is the script of the main page, just in case I would be better off keeping them both in one place.
Code:

<head>

<script type="text/javascript">
function loadSubPlace(File,ID,Msg,Eile,EID,Esg){
loadXMLDoc1(File,ID,Msg);
	 var mimer = setTimeout(function(){loadXMLDoc1(Eile,EID,Esg)},5000);
}
</script>

<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<style type="text/css"> 
	html {height:250px}
	body {height:250px}
	#map_canvas {width:30%; height:250px;}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript"
	src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true" />
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {

		var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng (
<?php

include("dbconnect.php");

			$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM countries 
			WHERE Country='{$_SESSION['Country']}'");

			while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
				echo $row['Map'];
				}

		mysql_close($con);
?>);
		var myOptions = {
			zoom: 4,
			center: latlng,
			mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
		};
		var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
			myOptions);
	}

</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize()">

		<div class="countryright" id="map_canvas">

include("dbconnect.php");

$snowball=explode(';',$_POST['syringa']);
$turnsol=$snowball[1];
$violet =$snowball[2];
$wakerobin=$snowball[3];

global $turnsol;
global $violet;
global $wakerobin;

	echo '<center><b><big>' . $wakerobin. '</big></b></center><br /><br />';

	$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM regions
	WHERE country='{$turnsol}' AND region='{$violet}' AND place='{$wakerobin}' AND sub !=''
	ORDER BY sub ASC");

			while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
				$wheat="{$row['RegionPId']};{$turnsol};{$violet};{$wakerobin};{$row['sub']}";
				$tigerlilly=$row['RegionPId'];
				echo '<input type="button" class="button3" name="place" id="place" value="' . $row['sub'] . '" onclick="loadSubPlace(\'getPlace.php\',\'txtHintPlaceSub\',\'hepatica=' . urlencode($wheat) . '\',\'getPlaceMap.php\',\'placemapcanvas\',\'Map=' . urlencode($tigerlilly) . '\');" />';
				}
		echo '<input type="button" class="button3" name="addplace" id="addplace" value="Add Place" onclick="loadXMLDoc1(\'getAddPlaceSub.php\',\'txtHintPlaceSub\', encodeURI(\'addsubplace=' . $_POST['syringa'] . '\'));" />';

echo '<br /><br /><div id="txtHintPlaceSub"></div><br /><br />';

mysql_close($con);

?>

I've cut out the script that doesn't relate to this so I hope I haven't missed anything important.

Can the Google API replace scraping? You can get blocked by Google if you scrape, but can you get the same info from the Google API at no risk?

Hi

I have just started looking at the Google maps, and have atutorial that will get the co-ordinates. What I want this to do, is then populate two fields on a form one called longitude and one called latitude

Code:

function usePointFromPostcode(postcode, callbackFunction) {
  
  localSearch.setSearchCompleteCallback(null, 
    function() {
      
      if (localSearch.results[0]) {    
        var resultLat = localSearch.results[0].lat;
        var resultLng = localSearch.results[0].lng;
        var point = new GLatLng(resultLat,resultLng);
        callbackFunction(point);
      }else{
        alert("Postcode not found!");
      }
    });  
    
  localSearch.execute(postcode + ", UK");
}

Any ideas/tips would be be much appreciated

Hi there,

I know too little of JavaScript to get the Google Maps API working.
I hope someone can help me out!

My goal is to display an address.
In the example on google, you can input it through a form:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/doc...ng-simple.html

I would like the map to show the location+marker when I open the page, not after clicking a submit button.
However, I only want an address in my html. I want the API to convert it in a LatLng format.

Hopefully, someone can take the time to look at it.
It's all in the source code of the page mentioned above, I believe.

Thanks!

Hi,
I have a table with FROM and TO columns and a column with MAP/DIRECTIONS link. When a user clicks on the link, it should display Map and Directions on the iframe on the same page. How can I achieve this using Google map and directions API?

Thanks

Hello, I think I am posting this in the right spot! I'm trying to add google translate to my mobile website... Because, I want an easy way for koreans to read it.

It's a mobile site by dudamobile so my editing ability is limited.. the issue I am having is it works but it is throwing off my scrolling ability and page size
and the toolbar and banner was spanning my webite to a very large area which threw off the look of the site.

I was able to remove the banner (which I didnt need) by inputing this code into the CSS

body {top: 0px !important; position: static !important; } .goog-te-banner-frame {display:none !important}

but the drop down bar still has a spand the size a full sized website for some reason

I pasted in the following code provided by google translate for the site:

<div id="google_translate_element"></div><script>
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: 'en',
includedLanguages: 'zh-CN,zh-TW,en,de,ja,ko,th',
layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE
}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script><script src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>


Is there any code that can be added to restrict the size of this bar?

again the translate option works outside of this.

Thanks
Dave

Hi guys,

I really need a custom google map, something like http://www.zeemaps.com/ offers,

Where you can:

Add placemarkers to a map by clicking an add button
A sidebar with all locations listed
Info windows when you click on markers giving you information
And a couple of other features!

I would really appreciate some help, spent 3 days on this now and i have:

Code:

Is there a javascript that when I mouse over a object like the the magnifying glass that can be seen after a google search that will display a preview image and then make that image clickable to pull up that webpage/file?

Hello Everyone!

I'm new to the forums but have a question with Google Translate I'm trying to add to my site.

I believe the code for Google Translate is a Java Script and I'd like to put this on my website in the side column. The only thing I would like to modify is a <br> (break) between the Powered by and Google Translate.

So I would like it to be center aligned like:

Powered by
Google Translate

Right now it is stretching out the column because of the added space and frustrating me!

Any idea how to do this? Here is the code:

Code:

<div id="google_translate_element"></div><script>
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
  new google.translate.TranslateElement({
    pageLanguage: 'en'
  }, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script><script src="http://translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>

My knowledge of javascript and coding in general is very very limited so any changes you make or where I should put the code, definitely let me know

Thanks, Phil

I'm completely at a loss how to embed a map with the new google maps api setup. I found a snippet of code that I dropped in with some small database variables pulled in and was done. Then an error came that the API was no good. So I went in and set up an anaccount, got an api and now I just simply have no clue what their instructions are saying I need to do. Gah!

Here's what I originally had:
I now have a Client ID, client secret and stuff. But no clue how to set up this url, etc.
Code:

</script> 
<script src="//maps.google.com/maps?file=api&amp;v=2&amp;key=AIzaSyD4iE2xVSpkLLOXoyqT-RuPwURN3ddScAI"
            type="text/javascript"></script>
            
<script type="text/javascript">
    
    function initialize() {
      if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
        var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
        map.setCenter(new GLatLng(<?php echo $c_row['location_longitude']; ?>,<?php echo $c_row['location_latitude']; ?>), 13);
 // Add the latitude/longitude marker to the map
	var point = new GLatLng(<?php echo $c_row['location_longitude']; ?>,<?php echo $c_row['location_latitude']; ?>);
	map.addOverlay(new GMarker(point));
	map.setUIToDefault();
      }
    }

    </script>

<b>Map:<br><br><div id="map_canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 300px; z-index:4000;border-width:medium;border-color:#030;"></div></b>

Hi there!
I'm creating a map that starts at the users location, has multiple locations marked out (that are fetched from JSON), tells if the person is withing a 100m range of the location and shows an overlay when a location is clicked on.

Is this even possible? (doesn't feel like it atm )
and if it's possible, which parts of google's api do I use?
If anyone has far to much spare time and feels like showing me how to do 1/2 of these things I would be extremley grateful, but I don't expect that.

Cheers.
