What Is A Common Include?

i want to add google analytics to my wiki site but it says -"copy the following code block into every webpage you want to track immediately before the body tag.
if your site has dynamic content you can use a common include or a template". there is no body tag so i suppose i need a common include, but what is this?

no problem, once you are confortable making your html web pages. i would recommend that you start looking into making webpages with php.

dont worry about that now. when you feel like you know about how HTML works, then start learning about php

ok, thanks for the help.

ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, dont worry about it then, it doesnt apply to you.

just make sure that you put the javascript code on your html documents when you create each file

i use microsoft frontpage to make each page

how do you make your websites?

what do you mean.??

dynamic?

i dont understand that

do you use php or asp to make your websites?

or does your website have dynamic websites?

i dont know if i understand, this is what google says:

Note: We recommend that you do not include both tracking code snippets together on any given page. Doing so might generate inaccurate report data. You can, however, migrate select pages of your site to the new tracking code while the legacy code remains on others.
What if I'm not the person who updates the website? Email the code above and instructions to your technical team or website administrator. Once they have added this tracking code to your website, click 'Check status' from the Analytics Settings page to find out if your website is being tracked and data is being collected.

i have read it like 10 times, but it doesnt make sense to me

it just means you include a file..

for example, if you have php, the most common way to write scripts, is by including a header.php and a footer.php file. this is how the code woould look like:



as you can see from my code example above, i have included two files on my code, one is called header.php and the second one is called footer.php. these two are my common inlcude files. this is a great way to make dynamic websites

the header.php contains my top navigation menu and the footer.php file contains my links at the botton, anything in between i write my content.
