JW Player, Google analytics.js, and Events - google-analytics

I'm trying to use analytics.js with JW Player. Page view works and I can send my own events. However I am not seeing the JW events for Video Plays, Video Completes, and Seconds Played such as I used to get with previous version of the player using the older GA script.
I have read JW's docs but I don't see what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for any help.
<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-34936065-2', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
<script>
ga('send', 'event', 'This is an Event Category', 'An Action Type', 'An event label' );
</script>
</style>
<script src="http://jwpsrv.com/library/7QL57lXFEeKkiSIACp8kUw.js"></script><script>jwplayer.key="iE4DX1FvqagyymuKRD+RHWzV5OVPIjQx13H8Mg==";</script><div id='mediaplayer'></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
jwplayer('mediaplayer').setup({
file: 'http://content.jwplatform.com/videos/vM7nH0Kl-640.mp4',
ga: { }
});
</script><br />

To use JW Player google analytics plugin you need premium/ ads/ enterprise edition.
You're using Pro edition.

Google Goal conversion not working when I download pdf

Google Goal conversion not working when I download pdf.
Here I followed following steps:
<html>
<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','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXX', 'auto');

</html>
gaq.push us classic Google analytics code as in ga.js. Your Google Analytics snippet shows you are using analytics.js which is universal analytics.
So basically you are mixing things you shouldn't be.
<script>
/**
* Function that tracks a click on an outbound link in Analytics.
* This function takes a valid URL string as an argument, and uses that URL string
* as the event label. Setting the transport method to 'beacon' lets the hit be sent
* using 'navigator.sendBeacon' in browser that support it.
*/
var trackOutboundLink = function(url) {
ga('send', 'event', 'outbound', 'click', url, {
'transport': 'beacon',
'hitCallback': function(){document.location = url;}
});
}
</script>
You'll also need to add (or modify) the onclick attribute to your links. Use this example as a model for your own links:

Google analytics not tracking enhanced ecommerce Data

i manage several hotels on analytics, actually have like 400, and we are updating the ecommerce data to enhanced ecommerce.
when i updated the scripts to e ecommerce on 100 hotels, no one was working, so i ran a test and i found that the isogram analytics code wasnt implemented, fixed that and now 70/100 hotels are getting ecommerce data.
idk if is matter of time to get the data on the last 30 hotels but here is the code, if anyone can see anything wrong, thanks.
<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', 'viewcode', 'auto', {'allowLinker': true});
// Load the plugin.
ga('require', 'linker');
// Define which domains to autoLink.
ga('linker:autoLink',['websites']);
ga('send', 'pageview');
ga('require', 'ec');
ga('set', '&cu', 'MXN');
ga('ec:addProduct', {
'id': '{SkuCode}',
'name': '{ProductName}',
'category': '{Category}',
'price': '{UnitPrice}',
'quantity': {Quantity}
});
ga('ec:setAction', 'purchase', {
id: '{NoReservation}',
revenue: '{Total}',
tax: '{Tax}'
});
ga('send', 'event');
</script>
The analytics code that you are using it looks right, however in order to assure that analytics code is pushed from the all the hotels websites I recommend you to follow the following steps:
1) Check that hotels domains name are correctly in the "linker" parameter
2) Verify that those websites dont't have another GA analytics code that overwrite your code. In order to avoid conflicts I recommend you to rename the "ga" global object to "myga" or something like that. Example:
<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','myga');
myga('create', 'viewcode', 'auto', {'allowLinker': true});
// Load the plugin.
myga('require', 'linker');
// Define which domains to autoLink.
myga('linker:autoLink',['websites']);
myga('send', 'pageview');
...
You can check when a hotel is pushing events if you are using the GA Real-time in the GA dashboard.

Double google anaylatics on my template?

I'm not a coder though I've learned alot from this board. My friend set up a template for me to work from. there is 2 versions of google anaylatic script in there and i'm not sure which to use?
<script>
(function(b,o,i,l,e,r){b.GoogleAnalyticsObject=l;b[l]||(b[l]=
function(){(b[l].q=b[l].q||[]).push(arguments)});b[l].l=+new Date;
e=o.createElement(i);r=o.getElementsByTagName(i)[0];
e.src='//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js';
r.parentNode.insertBefore(e,r)}(window,document,'script','ga'));
ga('create','UA-XXXXX-X','auto');ga('send','pageview');
</script>
or....
<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-XXXXX-X', 'auto'); ga('send', 'pageview'); </script>
Thanks so much!
As per the comments, the answer is: leave one with the correct GA Id. Remove any of them in the head tag, and leave the final snippet before closing the body tag.

Polymer - Track app usage with Google Analytics

I'm trying to use Google Analytics (web) with my polymer app (updating the tracker object in routing.html as per this GA SPA doc). I used the Polymer Starter Kit as a starting point. I'm not seeing any pageviews though, apart from / - what's the suggested way of tracking app usage?
routing.html
page('/topstories', function () {
app.route = 'topstories';
window.ga('set', 'page', '/topstories');
});
page('/about', function () {
app.route = 'about';
window.ga('set', 'page', '/about');
});
index.html
<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-xxxxxxxxx-1', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
In addition to setting the page value on the tracker, you also have to send the pageview hit to Google Analytics. In your route callback functions you'll need to add the line:
ga('send', 'pageview');
You could also write a function that does all this for you, so you don't have to repeat the set and send calls every time.
function updatePage(path) {
return function() {
app.route = path.slice(1);
ga('set', 'page', path);
ga('send', 'pageview');
}
}
The your page route declarations would look like this:
page('/topstories', updatePage('/topstories'));
page('/about', updatePage('/about'));
My solution takes advantage of the middleware-ish page.js handler:
// Routes
page('*', scrollToTop, closeDrawer, function(ctx, next) {
ga('set', 'page', ctx.path); // simply add
ga('send', 'pageview'); // these rows
next();
});
But this also fires as the / route is initialised, so to not double count visits, remove the final ga('send', 'pageview'); from your <script> block.

Multi google codes in one page

We have this code on the website.
<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-40584814-1', 'webistename.com');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
How can I add another account to it? Can I add something like this?
Can I add something like this?
<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-40584814-1', 'webistename.com');
**ga('create', 'UA-472147-1', 'webistename.com');**
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
I tried that and I can't see the stats on the new account. How can I achieve this? I know I could invite someone via an email but I want to add a completely new account.
Thanks!
Since you're using Universal Analytics (not the original Async version), you have to pass it within the create statement via the options object:
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXX-X');
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXX-Y', 'auto', {
'name': 'foo'
});
// later on...
ga('send', 'pageview'); // sends to account XXXXXX-X
ga('foo.send', 'pageview'); // sends to account XXXXXX-Y
