Matomo / Piwik Addon
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
by Tobias Diekershoff and Klaus Weidenbach
|
|
|
|
This addon allows you to embed the code necessary for the FLOSS webanalytics tool Matomo (formerly known as Piwik) into the Friendica pages.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
To use this addon you need a [Matomo](https://matomo.org/) installation.
|
|
|
|
Where to find
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
In the Friendica addon git repository `/piwik/piwik.php` and a CSS file for styling the opt-out notice.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to configure this addon is by activating the admin panels of your ~friendica server and then enter the needed details on the config page for the addon.
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to use the admin panel, you can configure the addon through the `config/local.config.php` file.
|
|
|
|
Open the `config/local.config.php` file and add "piwik" to the list of activated addons.
|
|
|
|
'system' => [
|
|
...
|
|
'addon' => '...,piwik'
|
|
...
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
You can change 4 more configuration variables for the addon in the `config/addon.config.php` file:
|
|
|
|
'piwik' => [
|
|
'baseurl' => 'example.com/piwik/',
|
|
'sideid' => 1,
|
|
'optout' => true,
|
|
'async' => false,
|
|
],
|
|
|
|
Configuration fields
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
* The *baseurl* points to your Piwik installation. Use the absolute path, remember trailing slashes but ignore the protocol (http/s) part of the URL.
|
|
* Change the *sideid* parameter to whatever ID you want to use for tracking your Friendica installation.
|
|
* The *optout* parameter (true|false) defines whether or not a short notice about the utilization of Piwik will be displayed on every page of your Friendica site (at the bottom of the page with some spacing to the
|
|
other content). Part of the note is a link that allows the visitor to set an _opt-out_ cookie which will prevent visits from that user be tracked by piwik.
|
|
* The *async* parameter (true|false) defines whether or not to use asynchronous tracking so pages load (or appear to load) faster.
|
|
|
|
Currently the optional notice states the following:
|
|
|
|
> This website is tracked using the Piwik analytics tool. If you do not want that your visits are logged this way you can set a cookie to prevent Piwik from tracking further visits of the site (opt-out).
