I am fairly new to Joomla (using for less than a year) and I need to find a way to place a script tag before the tag in joomla. This is for marketing (call tracking) purposes. I have seen some recommend the Flexi Code plugin/module, but I also saw it didn't give you a way to add it before the tag. Normally, I'd add it to the template but the interesting dynamic here is that I only need it on certain pages, not all.

Any suggestions to help me get this done, would be greatly appreciated.

If you can edit your template add this right before the closing tag.

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="analytics" style="none" />

Then you can use FlexiCustom Code module and publish it to the analytics position on any menu item you want.

  • Thank you - it turns out, the script needed to be added to every page so it became a bit easier to manage from there. I appreciate you responding.

If you have access to your template, you can use the following code 

// Detecting Active Variables
$option   = $app->input->getCmd('option', '');
$view     = $app->input->getCmd('view', '');
$layout   = $app->input->getCmd('layout', '');
$task     = $app->input->getCmd('task', '');
$itemid   = $app->input->getCmd('Itemid', '');

and after at the right place in the template

if($itemid == 544) //replace 544 by your itemid
{
?>
   // tracking code here
<?php
}
?><body>

You can adapt the condition to match the page you need to track
