A bit confused with Analytics Funnels

Hi,

I'm having troubles setting up my Funnels in Google Analytics.

My register page is modified [ http://www.elforro.com/register.php ] to have only one step / form and nothing more.

Once you click the "register" button, if everything is ok, it just redirects the user to a New Thread page [ http://www.elforro.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=2 ]

Since the page where the user is redirected after the registration is processed doesn't have a "google funnel" identifier [I don't know how you call this], I think there might be a problem just there..

If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.. I attach a capture of my G. Analytics settings.



Thanks!

PS: Wait, I think it MAY be working now. But if you can check my settings I will appreciate it anyway...

Note, analytics is NOT real time. it maky take 24 hours to see some goals come in.

Funels require at least 2 steps to actually funnel - a start page and an end page.
You should at least have a 'thanks for registering page'

I've never seen a setup where submitting the registration form automatically ends up as posting a new thread in a specific forum. Did you set your board up this way?

I've modified the register.php in order to redirect the registered user to the New Thread page.

So, are you saying that if I set up the Funnel end page as "/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=2" it won't work? I think it's working but I don't know if it will be accurate...

vBSEO is only designed to track goal pages within the register.php script.


in functions_vbseo.php, you can find the code block that controls this.

Code:

if(THIS_SCRIPT == 'register')
{
$vbseo_goal = $_REQUEST['do'];
if($_GET['a'] == 'act')
$vbseo_goal = 'complete';
if($GLOBALS['templatename'] == 'register_verify_age')
$vbseo_goal = 'birthday';
$vbseo_goal_pages = array(
'coppaform'=>'coppaform.html',
'birthday'=>'enter-birthday.html',
'signup'=>'agreement.html',
'register'=>'regform-show.html',
'addmember'=>'regform-submit.html',
'complete'=>'registration-complete.html'
);

We won't officially support modifications to this, but you may be able to customize this script to add newreply.php as an OR condition and add the goal name to the array, but you will also need to conditionalize it to only show on this particualr funnel, not on regular newreply pages.

Thanks Brian, I will check it out!
