How to I integrate GA4 in webtrees 1.7.17?

tried it here but there is only a UA- syntax possible:
../admin_site_config.php?action=tracking

In which directory and file (on my ftp-server) do I find the overall header tag for all pages?
Then I would integrate the GA4-Tag there.

There is a module "Custom CSS and JS" available for webtrees 1.7.

It will allow you to insert ht GA4 code snippet.

hmm... I thought it works... but click on the link in the signature...
the database is just loading forever and when I de-install this Custom Javascript module the website is working again.

What I did...
- saved the module Custom Javascript via FTP in directory: /modules_v3
- checked the modul in the admin dashboard under modules
- added the Google Analytics 4 JavaScript tag (long version)

What am I doing wrong?

So you should have a closer look into your module.

did you wrap your code in the script tags? ie.

<script>

your code

</script>

What do you see in the browser debug console?

Can you post a screenshot of what you've entered into the CSS/JS module.

You've got something wrong in there. It's hard to say without actually seeing it.

Thx for reposting my attachment more visible :-)

Your error message says there is an unexpected "<" at line 55.

All the "<" in your screenshot look OK.

Perhaps it is caused by some other JS code.

Look at the source of the page, and examine the lines around 55.

I just realised that the URL of your site is in your profile, so I can take a look.

You are using the fancy treeview module.

The JS for this module is immediately before your JS.

But it does not have a closing </script>

It's a bug in that module. Are you using the latest version of it?

If so, then maybe you could work around it by adding "</script>" to the start of your custom JS.

Added your recommended tag before the GA4 tag and the page works fine, again. :-)

Great help from you all... thanks so much.
