Not sure I understand the value of site overlay for admin data – you want to exclude this data no matter what, right?

I looked at the if else model but you have to escape all the special characters in the GA js (I’m using the new asynchronous GA) and it gets messy real fast.

You want to include analytics code even when an admin is logged in so that you can use the site overlay feature of Google Analytics. It’s far better to exclude by cookie content as suggested here.

Yeah, quite right. Early in the morning i tend to be a little complicated.
I’ll edit.

a little complicated, don’t you think? :)

why not a simple IF administrator nothing ELSE place GA tracking code?

otherwise Google Analyticator plugin by cavemonkey automagically exclude admin view ;)
