txtd Isn't google analytics just a little bit a javascript? You should probably be able to put i anywhere as long as it belongs to the fronted.
txtd I don't see the need for an extension here to be honest. Somebody is probably gonna do it sooner or later though.
Kulga txtd It's kinda the point - to avoid having to modify the core files. Especially with upgrades it could get overwritten where a extension would be protected. Not to mention a effective extension would permit various other tracking programs (like piwik)
luceos For those interested an running dev-master (or are willing to wait for beta-3), I have created an extension to add the tracking code for google analytics, see the extension page for more information.
MISC A successful solution can be to have a placeholder before the </head> tag as well as the before the </body> tag that can be defined in the cp. You will then be able to add the analytics code or other things without any template changes.
