Adding Google Analytics script to existing files

[Nina Esile]

Does anyone know how to add the code for Google Analytics (I have the code) to each of the files in my existing project. I understand that if I had known I was going to add GA script to my files, I could have put it in a template file, but at this point in the game, I have already created my files. Do I have to add the script manually at this point?

Thanks!

I haven't worked much with GAs, but if the text is the same on all pages, can you add it to your PageLayout? I think you'd have to do that manually (in NotePad) as Flare doesn't offer the Text Editor with PageLayouts.

If the code must go in each topic, I'd recommend a third-party Search and Replace tool to insert the code before the </body> tag. Search & Replace Master is my choice for this type of task.

Add the script to the master page (not page layout) - that will include the script it on each page. (Don't use a search/replace as suggested.)

You can insert the script code in the master page, or add a script link to a file that contains the code.
If you have a script link to a file, it'll make it a lot easier to change in the future.

There was recently an article in the MadCap blog about google analytics, including a description how to insert the script. I did it this way and it worked out fine.
