  • FriendsOfFlarum Analytics - tracking user visits

@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,

    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?

      Just released version 0.6.0 !

      Update with the following command (or use Bazaar):

      composer require flagrow/flarum-ext-analytics
php flarum cache:clear

      This extension didn't receive much love during this year... It was about time:

      • Fixed Piwik not tracking page url change correctly
      • Added the option to track users by username or email in Piwik, following jenolan suggestion. It's disabled by default
      • Added the option to specify a protocol with the Piwik domain, so you can force https:// analytics for non-https forum for example. Defaults to // as before if not specified
      • Updated the settings UI to use Flarum components instead of non-styled HTML inputs
      • Fixed a potential XSS vulnerability if you enabled the "Track subdomains" option
      • Cleaned up the code

      Edit: replaced composer update flagrow/flarum-ext-analytics which does not work to update to that new version ?

          clarkwinkelmann Heya Thanks! Will install and give it a whirl!

          Just tried to upgrade doesn't load via composer

              This might happen when your composer holds the version to 0.5. Try using composer require flagrow/flarum-ext-analytics instead.

                  luceos Yup you are right, that's a funny behaviour for composer ;-)

                    jordanjay29 I have done all that but I get same results (like in the screenshot). ?

                        Radu if you're using cloudflare also clear that cache, clear your browsers cache hard (!) and run the command jordanjay29 mentions.
