Trying to upload google analytics to my site & when I check out the index.php file in templates/jaTiris/, there is only some code which reads-
//Need to install or enable JAT3 Plugin
echo JText::_(‘MISSING_JAT3_FRAMEWORK_PLUGIN’)

I checked the plugin & it is installed, the site is live & working fine, I initially did a quick install too, I see someone else had the same issue, thing is they were recommended to start again, error when uploading, however as I said this site is live & lots of work gone into it, so not an option just to start again.

Any ideas why it is not recognizing that JAT3 framework plugin is installed. Thanks

If I am understanding you correctly this is in every index.php file in a template folder. If T3 isn’t installed this will show on the front page to let the user know he needs to install T3 plugin.

Hope I’ve understood you correctly here.

If you want an easy way to get Google Analytics into your site – I use this plugin. Works well in my experience.

If you want to put it into the code itself you can look at this thread which should help you. – http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/installation-of-google-analytics/#post-378668

Thanks for your quick reply, the index.php file is in templates/ja_tiris which is the same file when I go into administrator & select templates/edit template / edit main page. but contains a small bit of php & this code
//Need to install or enable JAT3 Plugin
echo JText::_(‘MISSING_JAT3_FRAMEWORK_PLUGIN’) Yes I did a test and uninstalled T3, but the same broke, message on frontend need to install T3. So it is install but why does my index.php file have this error? I will try with the extensions but normally just put it in manually.

JA templates work on T3 so this is included (I believe) in the template folder and all it does is inform the user that this template requires T3 to work. It does’t actually do anything apart from that. (Pedant alert – it checks to see if T3 is installed and if it isn’t it returns an error message.) So this isn’t an error.

All the system files for T3 live in root/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/base-themes/default/…..

If you follow Phills advice in the thread I linked to you can copy a file, (default.php) from there across to your template folder so that whenever T3 is updated it doesn’t overwrite your extra code. Anything for T3 stored in template-name/page/ takes preference over the base files and doesn’t get overwritten by a T3 upgrade. Another reason why T3 is so flexible.

Hope that helps explain it for you. 🙂

Other way round. You take a copy from plugins/system/jat3/jat3/base-themes/default/page

Code:

showBlock (‘head’); ?> getBlocksXML (‘head’), ‘block’); foreach ($blocks as $block) : $this->showBlock ($block); endforeach; ?> showBlock (‘css’) ?>************YOUR ANALYTICS CODE HERE*************

You’ll have to make a new folder called ‘page’ under your template and drop the file in there. Then you can edit it. 🙂
