How does this part of the module work?

What do I need to set as goals in Analytics?
Many thanks.

1. Login to your Analytics account.

2. Choose Edit besides your profile.
3. Check, that you have clicked Yes to E-Commerce Website part.
4. Choose currency.
5. Make a goal, check active goal to Yes. The goal url is http://yoursite/funnel_G1/checkout.thankyou.htm
6. Leave Goal value field empty or type in 0.
7. Leave other fields empty for now.
If possible, make a test purchase with cash and see, if you have your order information inside a form in receipt page. It
should look like this:

UTM:T|7|Joomla 13|53.18|4.05|0.00|Los Angeles|LA|USA

UTM:I|7|6|Hammer|Hand Tools |1.00000|1
UTM:I|7|5|Nice Saw|Hand Tools Hand Tools |23.14242|2

Please note, that if the payment method doesn't have a receipt page, then of course, it's not possible to track purchases
with that payment method. For default paypal and cash on delivery have receipt page.
Check your E-commerce report after 24-48 hours. If your goal is working, then add funnels.

suski,
I followed your instructions above and that did successfully enable the goal conversion tracking in GA. Thanks.
But, my ecommerce revenue tracking is still not functioning.

Reading the GA howto at

http://www.google.com/support/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?answer=55528&hl=en_US
I think what's missing is a call to the utmSetTrans function on my checkout.thankyou.htm page as described by google:
Finally, the utmSetTrans function must be called after the form is submitted in order to record the transaction. This can
be most easily accomplished through a body onLoad event within the opening tag:

If you don't have the ability to edit the body tag, you can call the utmSetTrans function within a separate script tag as
long as you ensure that the function is called after the form:

__utmSetTrans();

Please advise and thanks.

Update
I discovered the pdf user guide on your site and found the instructions (pg. 6) to add the code:

to my template index.php and did so. This then should result in a call to the utmSetTrans function on the
checkout.thankyou.htm page.
I'll post back if this doesn't correct the problem.

Easiest thing to do, is to make the changes described in our guide, into your template index.php file.
Add onLoad function to body tag. If your page doesn't call this script, no information will be collected.
