    Hello
    I do not know what I do bad in childtheme, but does not work

    function childtheme_after() {
    return '
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    try {
    var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-0000000-0");
    pageTracker._trackPageview();
    } catch(err) {}</script>
    ';
    }
    add_filter('thematic_after', 'childtheme_after');

    Hi,

    this can't work .. you're trying to filter an action hook :-)

    Ok .. it's:

    function childtheme_after() {
echo '
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-0000000-0");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>
';
}
add_action('thematic_after', 'childtheme_after');

    Hi,
    you have already verified that I am not programmer :/

    This gives back an error to me in line 42
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

    Line 42:

    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));

    function childtheme_after() {
echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
echo 'var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");';
echo 'document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src=\'" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js\' type=\'text/javascript\'%3E%3C/script%3E"));';
echo '</script>';
echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
echo 'try {';
echo 'var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-0000000-0");';
echo 'pageTracker._trackPageview();';
echo '} catch(err) {}</script>';
}
add_action('thematic_after', 'childtheme_after');

    You need to escape the '

    Thanks for the escape tip/reminder.

    Using Thematic 0.9.5.1 I was able to use the thematic_after action to add GA script to the footer no problem.
