Add other tracking code to all of the same pages as Mint

Posted 6 April 2007 in by Sam Brown - 1 Comment

If you are using the Advanced .htaccess Method to add the Mint JavaScript to your pages, it is possible to add your Google Analytics or other tracking JavaScripts at the same time.

Doing this will make sure that your statistics are consistant across the board, as in some cases using the .htaccess Method adds the Mint tracking code to pages that aren’t being tracked by other JavaScript methods.

Simply edit Line 15 of your /mint/config/auto.php file adding any other script tags after the Mint script tag.

Update: Please read the comment Shaun left so there are no misunderstandings regarding consistant numbers across multiple packages.

I just wanted to clarify that this suggestion (that I originally posted in the Mint Forum) will in no way ensure your statistics are consistent across the board. All it ensures is that the same pages are being tracked. Due to different tracking methods and term definitions no two stats packages will consistently report the same statistics. Let’s nip that misconception in the bud.
