Google Analytics "Site Search" with vBulletin search

I'm sorry to pull up an old topic, but do I still need to do this modification or has it been implemented already?

it is custom.. it's not part of vbseo or vbulletin.

Please change this in functions_vbseo.php and functions_vbseo_seo.php file:

Hello Oleg,

the exact code you mentioned above is not part of functions_vbseo.php. Did it change in the meantime? I have 3.2.0.

We will have the most up-to-date analytics tracking code in the upcoming vBSEO3.2.5 release, there were multiple changes applied to it since 3.2.0 release.

Ok, v3.3.0RC1 is out. Could you please tell us, if the code change described in posting #7 is still correct, or did it change since the new version?

With v3.3.0 no file changes are required.

So I can just set "site search" to yes and enter "q" as search parameter, thats all?

Yes.

Thank you.

Hello,

what is your forums URL? This feature is already included in vBSEO, so you can use it on your board too!

I know this is an old thread, but it appears to me that it claims site search with google analytics is now built in to vbseo by entering 'q' as the query. However, this thread
Google Analytics Site Search

appears to say it is impossible. Google Analytics Site search tracking is extremely important for many forum owners.

It works fine. I think the user (or I) was thinking about something else in that other thread. Just enter q as the param as above.

Is this enabled automatically by vbseo or do I need to set an option somewhere? I know how to add the q to google analytics but I don't see an option anywhere in vbseo.

It is done automatically.

In vBSEO 3.6.0 Gold the php code has changed. Unfortunately site search funnels doesn't implemented in this version. Where I have to insert the code for site search in 3.6.0?

Sorry for my bad english :-).
