Help debug my free Google Analytics add-on.

Permalink
If anyone has the time, I developed a free google analytics plugin that simply replaces the data in your existing statistics chart. It hasn't been approved yet because some people are having problems installing it, or getting data to show. I have personally installed it on about five sites without a hiccup, but they were all on the same webhost. I'm looking for a hand in troubleshooting possible problems within other environments. I have attached the package, and would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,

Guy

Thanks.. I'm wondering if that is some sort of permissions problem. I'd image that a webhost could disable scripts from manipulating the file system.. I'll see what I can do.

I really wonder if those are problems that originate with the hosting? I think if PHP is running in safe mode you may not be able to execute code that manipulates the server file system. If you don't mind me asking, what web host is running the live version you tried to install it on?

its probably the host (free). just installed with hostgator and it worked. Safemode is off tho. Great package btw, once i got it working it works like a charm.

you'll need to write something else instead of using the gapi class, it is against google TOS to use that for a distributed app.

That's pretty much it.

I don't follow. Because of the username/password thing? Because apparently the gapi class can also work with an AuthSub token..
