iAnalytics Q&A

The data should show up instantly when something happens in your site.

With that said, you should not experience any delays in the data, than can be tracked with the module. 

Do I need to disable the native OpenCart analytics tracking module when activating iAnalytics for accurate numbers in Google Analytics?

Just in case you are wondering by default OpenCart Google Analytics we are referring to the one on System > Settings > Server > Google Analytics Code.

By iAnalytics Google E-Commerce implementation we are referring to the one in Admin >  Analytics > Settings > Google Account ID Number.

Please mind that for 2.3.x you will find the module in Admin > Extensions > Analytics > Google Analytics.

No, you do not need to disable it. The default OpenCart Google Analytics module does not interfere with the iAnalytics data.

How can I set up Google Analytics for my OpenCart Store?

You can set up Google Analytics and learn more about it by reading this quick post.

A few important things about iAnalytics and Google Analytics:

1. E-Commerce tracking: Google E-Commerce Tracking has to be activated from the store settings.
2. Tracking users VS order transactions: Adding the Google Account ID Number in the settings is only for the transactions for the orders that get pushed to Google Analytics. You still have to add the default Google Analytics code in your website in order to track your visits from there.
3. Order info: iAnalytics provides order data to Google Analytics.

How Can I translate iAnalytics module settings it in my language?

iAnalytics module is fully multi-lingual, meaning that you need to translate only the module language files. How to do that?

Access the module language file from:

admin/language/english/module/ianalytics.php (for OC 2.3.x the path is admin/language/english/extension/module/ianalytics.php) and copy it.

Paste the file in your language module folder under:

admin/language/YOUR_LANGUAGE/module/ (for OC 2.3.x admin/language/YOUR_LANGUAGE/extension/module/) and change the text inside the single quotes after the equal sign.

// Text
$_['text_module']         = 'Modules';
$_['text_success']        = 'Success: You have modified module iAnalytics!';
$_['text_success_activation']        = 'ACTIVATED: You have successfully activated iAnalytics!';
$_['text_content_top']    = 'Content Top';
$_['text_content_bottom'] = 'Content Bottom';
$_['text_column_left']    = 'Column Left';
$_['text_column_right']   = 'Column Right';

// Entry
$_['entry_code']          = 'iAnalytics status:';
$_['entry_layouts_active']          = 'Activated on:';
$_['entry_highlightcolor']        = 'Highlight color:<br /><span class="help">This is the color the keyword in the results highlights in.<br/><br/><em>Examples: red, blue, #F7FF8C</em></span>';


// Error
$_['error_permission']    = 'Warning: You do not have permission to modify module iAnalytics!';
$_['error_code']          = 'Highlight color is required';

$_['deleted_keyword']      = 'Success: You have deleted the keyword.';
$_['deleted_analytics_data'] = 'All analytics data has been cleared.';
?>

Save the file and check the result.

That’s all!
