Javascript – Google Analytics Real-Time not showing results

google analyticsjavascript

The following script is not generating activity when cross-checked in Google Analytics : Real-Time section : Content section —

<script>
  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
  })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
  ga('create', 'UA-475021xx-x', 'auto');
  ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>

where xx-x masks the real account code.

The script is placed just before </head>

We have upgraded our account to Universal Analytics. Google tells us that this is the script to use; directly copied and pasted here (with the masked account code).

On the Google Analytics page, the test page is loaded as an ACTIVE PAGE. I click links on the test page to trigger ga.

Is there an error in this script? For example, I see on other Stackoverflow posts that 'auto' is replaced with the real domain. But I don't see Google instructions to make that substitution.

Am I doing something else wrong?

You can check the health of your tag using Google tag assistant, and also check with developer tools whether you can see data being sent to your GA account. Also look in your account under Property > Tracking Info > Tracking Code for the status of your tracking code. But if you are not seeing Real Time data then something could be wrong.

The third parameter in the 'create' method sets the cookie domain. It is optional and with 'auto', it sets the cookie domain to the highest domain level possible. Without it, the cookie domain will be set to the website domain without the www. prefix.

C# – Grouping GridView in Windows 8 Metro App

I may have a solution. In my projet, I had to create a list of contacts in alphabetic order, like the People app.

I used a GridView (with this sample), a CollectionViewSource and a wrappanel I found in the WinRT XAML Toolkit (you can get with NuGet package or copy/paste the source code). It allow you to put your items in columns.

Example

enter image description here

ViewModel

class ContactListViewModel
    {

        public ContactListViewModel()
        {
            ContactSource = new CollectionViewSource();
            Contacts = new ObservableCollection<Contact>();

            Contacts.Add(new Contact("Gates","Bill"));
            Contacts.Add(new Contact("Bush","Georges"));
            Contacts.Add(new Contact("Obama","Barack"));
            Contacts.Add(new Contact("Hollande","François"));
            Contacts.Add(new Contact("Affleck","Ben"));
            Contacts.Add(new Contact("Allen","Woody"));
            Contacts.Add(new Contact("Hendrix","Jimi"));
            Contacts.Add(new Contact("Harrison", "Georges"));

            Contacts = new ObservableCollection<Contact>(Contacts.OrderBy(c => c.Name));
            ContactSource.Source = GetGroupsByLetter();
            ContactSource.IsSourceGrouped = true;

        }

        #region Contacts
        public ObservableCollection<Contact> Contacts
        {
            get;
            protected set;
        }

        public CollectionViewSource ContactSource
        {
            get;
            protected set;
        }
        #endregion


        internal List<GroupInfoList<object>> GetGroupsByLetter()
        {
            List<GroupInfoList<object>> groups = new List<GroupInfoList<object>>();

            var query = from item in Contacts
                        orderby ((Contact)item).Name
                        group item by ((Contact)item).Name[0] into g
                        select new { GroupName = g.Key, Items = g };
            foreach (var g in query)
            {
                GroupInfoList<object> info = new GroupInfoList<object>();
                info.Key = g.GroupName;
                foreach (var item in g.Items)
                {
                    info.Add(item);
                }
                groups.Add(info);
            }

            return groups;
        }

        public class GroupInfoList<T> : List<object>
        {

            public object Key { get; set; }


            public new IEnumerator<object> GetEnumerator()
            {
                return (System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerator<object>)base.GetEnumerator();
            }
        }
}
