Re: [IUG] GoogleAnalytics in the OPAC -- my experiences

["Norwood, Randy" <randy dot norwood at ttu dot edu>]

We had this problem with our web site at one time. I adopted a workaround
described in the GA help pages, which was to use the https version of the
Javascript snippet for all of our pages, both http and https.

GA now has an updated version of the JS snippet that should allow it to work
with either http or https. You can get it by going to your profile settings
and clicking on Check Status. Both the old and new snippets are provided,
but you should use only one on each page (i.e., remove the old one and
replace it with the new one).
