How do i properly use custom vars in google analytics? I used the code below and here is what i notice
i only seen 'one' being in the get request
After 24 hours only 'one' showed up
After commenting out one and changing the 2 vars to use slotIndex-1 i notice NO vars going through GA
What am i doing wrong?
-edit again- Ok everything works. The problem is what i guessed in my answer. Then in firefox i accidentally used the profile which had cookies disabled so GA .gif wasnt being requested. In short the problem below was the string is too long or the value wasnt a string.
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-12345678-1']);
if (cond) {
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',1, 'one', d1,1]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',2, 'name two', "sz",1]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',3, 'name3', boolVal,1]);
}
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function () {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

I'm not 100% sure but
Bool Values are not allowed, only strings
You string may be too long thus not included
which may explain why neither are showing up.
I would save a copy of the page locally to debug the Google Analytics scripts in this manner - look for Javascript syntax errors and calls to _gaq.push() which return an error.
There is most likely a problem with the values you are passing - a review of the _gaq Global Object documentation would suggest that you can find out (in real-time) the number of commands which failed to execute with the return of a _gaq.push() call - for example:
var pushErrors = _gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',2, 'name two', "sz",1]);
alert( 'Encountered ' + pushErrors + ' errors' );
