As announced earlier, the Location API has become obsolete in API version 3, which is currently shipped with the 4.0/3.4 alpha versions. It has been replaced by Address, Email, Phone and Website API in v3.

However, in the v2 Location API there was already a param 'version' which was used to determine if the older functionality of the Location API (CiviCRM version 2.2 and older) was used or the newer functionality (CiviCRM 3 and onwards). So the code looked like this:

Paging all multilingual CiviCRM users: We’re considering turning some of the multilingual fields back to be monolingual (i.e., have the same values in all languages, even on a multilingual installation), and your feedback on this is crucial.

We're a small children's theatre company and make great use of Google Analytics.  We use CiviCRM/CiviEvent for our patron database and online ticket sales, and wanted to add Google Analytics ecommerce tracking to track the effectiveness of our various marketing activities.

I did this by copying /civicrm/templates/CRM/Price/Page/LineItem.tpl into a custom template directory, and adding the tracking code to my custom version.  All of our "events" use price sets, and the price options are various ticket categories (child, adult, senior, etc).  The code below tracks not only the entire order amount, but also the quantities of individual items in the order.
