Goal Copy Extension Update for FF3

Update to the Update:

Anders at IIH Copenhagen has modified the the Goal Copy extension to work with the alternate HTML that is being seen by some International Users (see comments).

You can get the alternate, international version from http://blog.iih.dk/goal-copy-extension-international/

Thanks Anders

I have updated the Goal Copy extension for FF3 (I hope).

Let me know if there are any issues.

Update: Robbin pointed out the brief nature of this post and that many people would have no idea what I’m talking about. So for those who are going “what the heck is he talking about?”, the Goal Copy Firefox extension can be used to copy goals between profiles in Google Analytics. Take a look at my previous posts if you think this is something you might be interested in:

Hi John,

I just saw that the extension is not working for the funnels in FF 3, it copies only the goals…

Can it be possible?

Thanks.

The problem seems to be that when FF3 requests those pages from the server, Google actually serves up *Different* HTML.

The tag names that I’m using to reference form fields, etc are different, so the extension can’t find them.

Here’s one example:

*Standard HTML that I see:
*Alternate HTML that Daniel sees:
I suspect that it is a localization issue, but I’ve not been able to confirm this.

One thing that may work is to install FF2 Portable, and use the extension from there. I don’t know if that will pull the same HTML from Google servers though. . .

I don’t really have the time to rewrite it, and testing would be painful since I haven’t been able to pull the alternate HTML. AND, how many alternates are there?? Who knows.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Even with

 and  tags my examples show up as actual boxes.  Here it is again:

Standard HTML

input type="text" name="ucgo_step7_path" size="30" value=''>

Alternate HTML

input type="text" name="step.7.name" size="20">

Here is a version that works with the *Different* HTML (GA International version)

As far as I can tell there is two different versions of GA right now. One US version and one international version, and changing the language settings don’t make a difference. Can somebody verify this?

I tried this version and it still won’t “paste” the goals, using FF3.0.1 on a Mac
