I'm trying to setup Open Web Analytics to monitor what's going on on my Opencart installation. http://www.openwebanalytics.com
(I do not want to use Google Analytics, I want the data on my database server and I don't like multi-national cooperations who are into world domination, so I want to use Open Web Analytics.)
One part of the installation is to add some code to the website (either php or javascript). Step 7 of this tutorial https://websiteforstudents.com/setup-op ... b-and-php/ explains it.
This additional code should be added to the header.php file of whatever website I'm trying to monitor, however Opencart doesn't seem to have a header.php file. So where in my Opencart installation can I add this code?
Since you are using 3.? ? ? it would be a twig file so follow using this part of the guide "which is often defined in a ‘header.php‘, ‘header.tpl‘ or similar template file" .matthewbaynham wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 3:31 amI'm trying to setup Open Web Analytics to monitor what's going on on my Opencart installation. http://www.openwebanalytics.com

You should provide your Opencart version and the template for better help.

You can use the Google Analytics field (Extensions > Extensions > Analytics > Google Analytics) to use the javascript code of the Open Web Analytics. This will place the script in the header file.
If you need to add PHP code, then use the file catalog/controller/common/header.php

Doesn't your web host provide traffic stats?

@johnp I think it could be a bug with Open Web Analytics, because it looks like the tracking is occurring but it is not reflecting in Admin Dashboard Page.johnp wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 10:56 pmHow about using this extension?

Firstly you have two instances of the OWA code on your OC site. Secondly, it takes a while for stats to start showing on the OWA dashboard.
