I can't figure the interest of using it. First, I saw it as a module, and I thought "wow, that should be a plugin". Then, as I expected, I saw that there was a template modification to do, so I ask : what is the interest to charge the execution with a module processing when you can avoid this by inserting directly the google code in the template?
Since you must edit the template to use this module (in fact, you don't if you use an existing position but the doc doesn't tell it), why don't you directly insert the right code?
Well, if you deploy several sites with the same template and a prepack, it could be interesting.

Thankyou cfab for your honest opinion. The main purpose of this extension is to ease the ability to update your google code as new features come out. This way they change the template once and just update the module when I (and google) release new features.
I can see your point in that why don't you just put the code in but not everyone is as adept at web site development as both you and I are and maybe they don't want to be.
I'm sorry that this module does not meet your needs, but I'm sure I can't please everyone.
Regards

Hi there,
I was looking for such a module, and tada, here it is!
Works fine, I didn't test in IE yet, but I saw this case was treated.
Just two points to improve :
* in the code, when inserting css and script, replace lines 41 to 43 by :
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addCustomTag( $html );
This will give a w3c compliant output.
* there should be an option to choose a custom css file, in the template for instance, in order to not modify directly the module files.
You should see shortly an implementation of this module on www.rezomusic.com.
