Empty body ?

[franckgavand]

Hello

I'm trying to use the googleanalytics plugin.
But I must have missed something in the config...

Line 15 of the script.js file :
document.body.appendChild(script);
gives me the error in the console :
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'appendChild' of null

Looks like the body element is null....

Thanks for your help

Franck

I have modified the script.js code to include the code in a window.onload function :
Looks like it solved the issue....
But I have no idea of possible side effects....

if (JSINFO.ga.gtagId) {
        /* Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics */
        window.onload=function(){
            var script = document.createElement('script');
            script.type = 'text/javascript';
            script.src = 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=' + JSINFO.ga.gtagId;
    
            //alert(document.body);
            //document.body.appendChild(script);
            document.body.appendChild(script);
    
    
            window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
    
            function gtag() {
                dataLayer.push(arguments);
            }
    
            gtag('js', new Date());
            gtag('config', JSINFO.ga.gtagId);
        }
    }

Hi @franckgavand , thank you. I'll take a look into this and add it in when I get some time.

By the way, I think you would only want to do that around the part adding the script tag so the rest runs without waiting for the page to load. Like, end it right after document.body.appendChild(script).

It was breaking JS on the page for me so I made this change by hand in the file for now and it seems to be working.
