installing Lexity.com addon

Hi Guys,

I was having some problems installing the Lexity.com add-on to my site so I thought I'd add this in case anyone else was having problems with it as I couldn't find any help on the forums.

It says to add this to just before the </head> tags.

I tried adding it to my service_head.tpl file but it didn't work so I just added it directly above the </head> tag in home.tpl.

Code:

<!-- Added by Lexity. DO NOT REMOVE/EDIT -->

(Lexity.com supply code to go here)

<!-- End of addition by Lexity. DO NOT REMOVE/EDIT -->

Which I did but the { at the start of the java script seemed to confuse xcart.

The way I fixed this was by adding in {literal} before the code and {/literal} after the code so it should look like this.

Code:

<!-- Added by Lexity. DO NOT REMOVE/EDIT -->

{literal}

(Lexity.com supply code to go here)

{/literal}

<!-- End of addition by Lexity. DO NOT REMOVE/EDIT -->

This now works a treat and the software itself is quite nice to use.

It isn't anywhere near as good as Google Analytics but it does have a nice user interface and is easy on the eye if you just want a quick overview of who is on your site and and what they are buying.

The best thing is its Free which as i'm sure you are aware us Scotsmen like :)

David-Allan,

Thanks for the help! We have updated the instructions on our site, too.

The customer/home.tpl file will be in a different directory (than skin1) based on what skin is current active, right?

Yes it will. You can access the current skin directory by using {$AltSkinDir}.

Instead of just surrounding the JS with {literal}{/literal} you can simply replace "{" with {$ldelim} and "}" with {$rdelim}. Then you can still use smarty tags in your script.

in x-cart 4.6.1 i found if you add the lexity code to service_head.tpl it works when you use the literal tags
