How can you modify the URL for the current page that gets passed to Google Analytics?

(I need to strip the extensions from certain pages because for different cases a page can be requested with or without it and GA sees this as two different pages.)

For example, if the page URL is http://mysite/cake/ilikecake.html, how can I pass to google analytics http://mysite/cake/ilikecake instead?

I can strip the extension fine, I just can’t figure out how to pass the URL I want to Google Analytics. I’ve tried this, but the stats in the Google Analytics console don’t show any page views:

pageTracker._trackPageview(‘cake/ilikecake’);

Thanks, Mike

  1. Two possibilities come to mind:

    1. it can take a while, up to about 24 hours, for visits to be reflected in the Analytics statistics. How long ago did you make your change?

    2. try beginning the pathname with a ‘/’, so 

      pageTracker._trackPageview('/cake/ilikecake');

      and then wait a bit, as per the first item.
