So if you're using some type of PHP script to track things you need to implement some type of JS equivalent to send the data to GA. Thanks for the question, Justin Hi Andrey,

Do you know a way how to use it on the server side? I have a PHP script which redirects requests for files downlopading and I need to track it by GA. My script check the request and do "Localredirect" to point to the real file, but how I can use urchintracker in this case?

Attach the advanced filter to a profile and all the data in the profile will have the source data in the transaction report. Hope that helps and thanks for reading the blog. Justin Nick,

You could try adding an iFrame to your description, and place the GA code in the source for the iFrame. I haven't tried that but it may work. Best of luck, Justin Hi George,

This is usually done using some type of 'if-else' logic. The exact code will depend on your current code and programming language. Hope that helps and thanks for reading. Justin Hi Jenny,

I really hope someone can help me with the following because this is driving me insane... I enabled Google Analytics on my site (old urchin tracking code (I have to use that one.) In my Google Analytics report I can see all transactions that take place on my site. (Ecommerce => Transactions) But: How can I get the information about which referring site a transaction came from (if it was a referral)? OR: In a different report I can also see how many transactions came in from a certain referring site and what the associated revenue is (e.g. 3 transactions, generating $x revenue). (Traffic Sources => [Source] => Ecommerce) But: How can I get the information about which out of all my transactions are the transactions listed here that came from this referring site? It looks like all the data I need is there, it's just not displayed in a way that gives me the information I need (a 1:1 connection between a transaction and the referring site it came from). Thanks...! Hi Justin,
