Where to put code for stats?

[Tom_M]

Hello

I'm trying to put code into CMS so I can track visitors. The stats program says that you have to put an include into your index page for it to work. The code you get is: include "/home/user/public_html/cnstats/cnt.php. I've tried putting it at the beginning of the index page but that just creates an error warning at the top of the page. Any help would gratefully appreciated.

What kind of code do you want to add? Google analytics?

It's just site statistics analysis software, a bit like Awstats.

Cheers,

I should think you need it at the bottom of every page, not just your index page, to get meaningful stats. Its better at the bottom so it doesn't slow down your page load times.

You can try this:

1. Create a UDT and copy and paste the code from the include file into your UDT (minus the opening and closing php tags).

2. Put a reference to the UDT at the bottom of all your templates, just above
