Anyone Developing at the moment?

I happened to look at the source code last night and didn't see the Google Analytics code or StatCounter code, and there's nowhere to add it that I can find on this theme.

Can't you just manually put it into the header?

Appearance>Editor>Header.php

Find </head> and paste in the analytics code google give you

^ That or just get a plugin

@ Murray, going by how many things they say are disabled in the free version, or that if you change things, when they next do an update, it'll overwrite all you did, so I'm guessing it's not worth trying to edit, this is the Appearance>Editor>Header.php code:

Code:

<?php
/**
 * Displays the header section of the theme.
 *
 * @package Theme Horse
 * @subpackage Interface
 * @since Interface 1.0
 */
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if IE 7]>
<html class="ie ie7" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]>
<html class="ie ie8" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<![endif]-->
<!--[if !(IE 7) | !(IE 8) ]><!-->
<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<!--<![endif]-->
<head>
<?php		
		/** 
		 * interface_title hook
		 *
		 * HOOKED_FUNCTION_NAME PRIORITY
		 *
		 * interface_add_meta_name 5
		 *
		 */
			//global $interface_theme_setting_value;
		 //echo $interface_theme_setting_value['home_slogan1' ]; 
		do_action( 'interface_title' );

		/** 
		 * interface_meta hook
		 */
		do_action( 'interface_meta' );

		/** 
		 * interface_links hook
		 *
		 * HOOKED_FUNCTION_NAME PRIORITY
		 *
		 * interface_add_links 10
		 * interface_favicon 15
		 * interface_webpage_icon 20
		 *
		 */
		do_action( 'interface_links' ); ?>
<?php 
		/** 
		 * This hook is important for WordPress plugins and other many things
		 */
		wp_head();
	?>
</head>

<body <?php body_class(); ?>>
<?php
		/** 
		 * interface_before hook
		 */
		do_action( 'interface_before
			' );
	?>
<div class="wrapper">
<?php
			/** 
			 * interface_before_header hook
			 */
			do_action( 'interface_before_header' );
		?>
<header id="branding" >
  <?php
				/** 
				 * interface_header hook
				 *
				 * HOOKED_FUNCTION_NAME PRIORITY
				 *
				 * interface_headercontent_details 10
				 */
				do_action( 'interface_header' );
			?>
</header>
<?php
			/** 
			 * interface_after_header hook
			 */
			do_action( 'interface_after_header' );
		?>
<?php
			/** 
			 * interface_before_main hook
			 */
			do_action( 'interface_before_main' );
		?>
<div id="main">
<div class="container clearfix">

I'll see if I can find another theme or go back to my old non responsive one and add the WPTouch plugin back in again.

wp_head();
?>
here goes the analytics code
</head>

^ This

Systreg · Mar 8, 2015

@ Sean, so paste the analytics code it on the very next line under that, yes?

What about the StatCounter code, that usually goes in the footer on my html sites before the </body></html> tags, the code looks like this, would that go somewhere in footer.php ?:

<script type="text/javascript">
var sc_project=xxxxxxxx;
var sc_invisible=1;
var sc_security="xxxxxxxx";
var scJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
"https://secure." : "http://www.");
document.write("<sc"+"ript type='text/javascript' src='" +
scJsHost+
"statcounter.com/counter/counter.js'></"+"script>");
</script>
<noscript><div class="statcounter"><a title="web stats"
href="http://statcounter.com/free-web-stats/"
target="_blank"><img class="statcounter"
src="http://c.statcounter.com/xxxxxxxx/0/xxxxxxxx/1/"
alt="web stats"></a></div></noscript>

Systreg · Mar 8, 2015

@ Murray, difference of opinion, Sean says it goes somewhere else

Systreg · Mar 8, 2015

@ Sean, the StatCounter code isn't allowed to go anywhere, it says this on their site regarding installation:

it's very important to install StatCounter in the correct place on your website i.e. just inside the closing "body" tag - </body> - as indicated below. Simply copy and paste your StatCounter code into this position on each page of your website. Don't forget to save your changes.

I'll paste both in to footer.php and header.php and see what happens

Systreg · Mar 8, 2015

Sean said:
Or as I do, stick it before your closing body tag.

Ok, thanks, both entered before the </body></html> tags in footer.php and now showing in the source code

AssetDomains · Mar 8, 2015

There's an official stat counter plugin you could try should get you sorted

The theme costs £28.... is it really worth trying to hack it up to add a feature that you'd get if you simply paid? Plus you'll get other features, and you'll get ongoing developer support and so on.

Systreg · Mar 8, 2015

@ AssetDomains, thanks, the current code works where it is, I wasn't aware there was a plugin for it.

@ Monkey, it's not hacked up, the codes are just added where they're supposed to be but, the person selling the script says you can't add it and need to hire a programmer to do it for you, or buy the pro version, which obviously ain't correct.

I'd have no need of the added features on the paid for version, I have no need of the limited ones they have on the free version like custom favicons and custom backgrounds etc, so there's no point in buying something I wont use, and not buying it saves me £28 :lol:

So has anyone started building anything last week?

SF · Mar 9, 2015

Yeah I have actually been doing mine on and off for 4 months now.

1: Firstly secured the .com co.uk and .uk. (took a while)
2: Had a really nice logo designed nice and clean looking.
3: Back end code to automate my products by adding them on my website just leaving me to price them up accordigly.
4: all stripped down bare wordpress custom theme built from the start as all mobile friendly. My coder has done this already member of here and its ready to go. hes waiting on my designer for the layout and design.

So it leaves me now to pay for the rest of the design, which includes icons etc. then its a case of having my coder add what my designer tells him to and where abouts.

SF · Mar 9, 2015

I just want to add, I think domainers make terrible websites its a fact. I do.

I have let a design specialist look into what i wanted and to do what he thinks.

Hes ideas are out of my safe zone, but he assures me that users will love the way it interacts and ease of use.

The more ive thought about what hes saying to do the more it makes sense, i was looking at it from the old "domainer" blind angle before then.

BeachLife · Mar 9, 2015

Well I have been a little inspired by this thread. I haven't launched an income generating site of my own for at least 5 years, and have been without one completely for over a year. So in the next 6 months I intend to launch 3.

A lead generation site for a local business. Generating national orders for a product custom made by a local business, which can be shipped. Will mostly rely on PPC in the short to medium term.
A SaaS site. To be marketed mostly offline by direct marketing methods.
A product subscription site. To be marketed online, a little PPC, and via social media, mostly Instagram is my current feeling.

I have an idea for a 4th, but I think 3 is all I can handle in 6 months..

All will be built with only a £50-£100 budget per domain, though preferably on a FTR (sorry domainers). The second will be totally custom written, the first partly custom, the last I'm not sure yet, I may try Cratejoy or similar just to start out.

Wish me luck!

Stepping up to one a week would be quite the productivity hike.

Good luck, sounds like a plan.

SF · Mar 9, 2015

Not much I can show you yet. Its all being done on personal.subdomains, and there is bits and pieces everywhere.

Why is it that people don't like to share their sites? Is it that they're poor quality and easily replicated? They don't like to brag? Worried that they'll get treated like Chris (Accelerator) has?

One reason, for the more successful sites, is fear of being copied. Barriers to entry are pretty low. Ideas are easy, but knowing which ideas can be profitable is something else. As soon as you know of a niche site that is profitable, then there are a number of people on here that are capable of producing good sites in the same niche.

I once advertised a profitable site for sale. It wasn't long before a few copies appeared, of varying quality, one from the buyer I had agreed a sale too. I should clarify that it was myself that pulled out of the deal, not the buyer, and so they did nothing wrong. We signed an NDA but not a non compete agreement, though even that is useless on a practical basis.

SF · Mar 9, 2015

Yeah no worries Sean, the site is going to be my new business name for the forseable future so we will all know it in about 2 months when everything is in place. Its all just for my domain names.

martin-s · Mar 9, 2015

I'd really like to see more member sites too tbh. I learn a lot from seeing what other people are doing.
