Google analytics with a CMS - code is there but not "working"

I am using a less well known CMS called Ushahidi.

Within the settings of this CMS there is the option to add GA tracking by entering the web property I.D. (e.g.UA-340xxxx1-1).

The tracking code is then added to the site but it does not "fire".

Here is the code that appears after adding GA tracking:

<script type="text/javascript">

        var _gaq = _gaq || [];
        _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxx-1']);
        _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

        (function() {
        var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = TRUE;
        ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
        var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
        })();

        </script>

I am not familiar with javascript but it appears to be the exact same as the code generated within the Google Analytics console.

Here is the URL: http://tinyurl.com/c8djrvr

I do not understand why the code is not tracking?

Any pointers welcome.

It's not tracking because the code that Ushahidi is injecting is not correct.

If you run debugging on the site you will see the error on line 743:

enter image description here

ga.async = TRUE;

That is your problem. It should be ga.async = true;. Javascript is case sensitve.

See Tracking Basics.

I would recommend adding the code yourself and alerting them to the problem.
