  • FriendsOfFlarum Analytics - tracking user visits

bikepost could you please comment on why the extension name is all garbled in the left pane of the admin page?

I'm not sure what you mean ? I don't have a working install with that panel right now. Do you have a picture ?

    @clarkwinkelmann Have a look at the screenshots I posted higher in this thread. In the left side of the screenshot, below Extensions, you will notice that instead of seeing "Analytics" the name shows "Flagrow-analytics.admin.page.nav.title"

      bikepost That's the translations cache that is outdated. Disable and re-enable any extension or run php flarum cache:clear to refresh it ? That should normally do the trick.

        I had used

        php flarum cache:clear

        many times and it didn't work.

        I just disabled the English extension, re-enabled it and ran

        php flarum cache:clear

        again for good measure.

        Didn't work and Piwik widgets are still now showing any visitors data. It's all 0 visitor.

        @bikepost You need to also do a CTRL F5 on your browser. Your browser stores cache too ?

        Yep, sorry guys, I even closed the tab and launched a new one and then the browser and reopened.

          luceos Remind me please, do we use Cloudfare for any of this? I don't recall signing up for it or seeing it.

          Let me know how to please and I will do it. Google search results all instruct to log in but I don't think I have Cloudfare account.

            Well, I have an update. Without doing anything further to Cloudfare (what is it @luceos anyway?) or anything else, the extension title now shows properly!

            This resolved itself with time.
            Would have love to "force" the refresh but I never found a way.

            Glad it did.

              I still don't see how Cloudflare comes into consideration @luceos

              But I am using Opera in macOS and to relad a page without cache:

               option + command + R

              does the trick. It may be the same in Safari and Chrome. clearing the Flarum cache on the server does not solve this.

              I just installed an extension that shows users and I was having the same text formatting issue before using those keys combo.

              Thank you very much each one of you for all of your help!

                bikepost cloudflare is a saas you can also have, some hosting providers ship your website with it per default. Cloudflare does some DDOS protection but also caches your pages, something Flarum does not always like that much I think mostly because it doesn't flush the manifest file.

                  @luceos I understand but I don't think my host uses Cloudflare. How do I check?

                  For me Piwik integration did not work with this extension. _paq.push(['setSiteId', '1']); gets included with ##piwik_options## and not at its appropriate place after _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'piwik.php']);, so nothing got tracked.
                  I don’t know if this was also responsible for the iframe only giving a 500 error in the Flarum admin interface, but possibly?

                  I have now manually included the correct tracking code in core/views/app.blade.php and tracking works.
                  But it only tracks initial visits and when you refresh a page. So not pages visited via the forum navigation (until refreshed). Is there a setting to change this behaviour or is it just due to how Flarum is built?

                  Do you think you could add an option to set the username ie

                  _paq.push(['setUserId', '<?=$user['username']?>')

                  That's from my site not Flarum

                  Thanks,
                  Larry

                    jenolan where would that $user variable come from ?

                    Registering the Flarum username, email or id as the Piwik user id with this extension would make sense though.

                      The username is what it wants, non-logged in you just do not set it. Of course the email (etc) an option setting?
