Google Analytics "Unexpected token )"

Question

I copy-pasted Google Analytics code and I'm getting this error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ).

Here is code:

 <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-XXXXXXXX-X', 'auto');
 ga('send', 'pageview');
 </script>

Error is in this line: i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),.

What to do? Thanks!

Answer 1

You're missing an opening parenthesis on that line. Try the following:

<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-XXXXXXXX-X', 'auto');
 ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>

If you are using Smarty template engine and get Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token , use the {literal} tags:

<script>
 {literal}
 (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-XXXXXXXX-X', 'auto');
 ga('send', 'pageview');
 {/literal}
</script>
