Adding Google Analytics Facebook Like Tracking Code

alzander wrote: Our forum strips out a lot of text, so I don't know exactly what you were looking for. However, the _ga.trackFacebook(); code looks like it can be placed anywhere on the page. I wouldn't put it in the asynchronous call to the Facebook at all, but would simply include it in the header, or even just in the body of the document in any script tag.
I'd say that ideally, it would actually go in the same area as the Google Analytics code to make sure that library has properly loaded first, but I haven't tested what you're trying to do at all, so can't really say the best course.

Hope this helps,

alzander wrote: The code definitely shouldn't be added 'within' the fb:like tag, as that would cause a mess of problems. That is what they say, but even if you look at their code snippets, the ga.trackFacebook call is outside (right before) the fb:like opening tag.

alzander wrote: As for the code working itself, if you put it in the head, it would have to be after the ga_social_tracking.js inclusion. If that's still not working, if you have Notifications setup in JFBConnect for new comments and likes, try disabling that (temporarily) and see if that lets the Like's start showing. Both use the same notification system, which should be fine, but it's our best suggestion to try changing to see if it helps.

        <script type="text/javascript">

                var _gaq = _gaq || [];
                _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXX-X']);
                _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>

        <!-- Google Analytics Social Button Tracking -->
        <script src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/ha_js/ga_social_tracking.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">_ga.trackFacebook();</script>

Not sure if the Analytics code, as shown on your page, will work as it's possible the Facebook Javascript library won't be fully loaded by the time your code tries to 'attach' to it.
