How To: Piwik and NodeBB

[julian]

@hmj What other plugins do you have installed? Could be one of them are hammering some routes

[hmj]

@julian Not sure here is a list of the plugins we are using.

Activated plugins:
nodebb-plugin-composer-default
nodebb-plugin-dbsearch
nodebb-plugin-emoji-extended
nodebb-plugin-emoji-one
nodebb-plugin-markdown
nodebb-plugin-mentions
nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone
nodebb-plugin-sso-oauth
nodebb-widget-essentials

So I've added GA to the mix. I did that with adding it in the same custom header as to validate that my Piwik installation is not on the fritz. Comparing the two I see a little fewer unique visits between the two in piwik but almost exactly the same amount of pageviews.

Nodebb is still off by a factor of three in unique visits and around a factor of three to ten in pageviews.

Did this piwik code break for anyone else on the 1.6 upgrade?

Index 86: $(window).on('action:ajaxify.contentLoaded', function(ev, data) {
Index 89: })();

[julian]

@hmj v1.6.1? or v1.6.0... it may be that the piwik plugin needs updating.

Edit: Actually, doesn't seem like there is a piwik plugin... are you just putting it in the custom HTML page?

[hmj]

@julian Yeah that code at top is put into Appearance -> Custom HTML & CSS -> Custom Header. That had worked fine until the last upgrade.

[julian]

@hmj Are you on the develop branch? The code should still work fine in master.

Also can you please paste the code here?

[hmj]

@julian We are on 1.6.0 and not Develop.

Our code is almost a carbon copy of the one above in the first post.

 <!-- Piwik -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var _paq = _paq || [];
(function () {
    var u = "https://our.piwik.com/";

    function firePiwik (data) {
        if (app && app.user && app.user.uid > 0) {
            _paq.push(['setUserId', app.user.uid.toString()]);
            _paq.push(['setCustomVariable', 1, "appUserUsername", app.user.username, "visit"]);
        }
        _paq.push(['setDocumentTitle', document.title]);
        _paq.push(['setCustomUrl', location.href]);
        _paq.push(['enableHeartBeatTimer']);
        _paq.push(['appendToTrackingUrl', 'bots=1']);
		if (data.tpl === 'search') {
			_paq.push(['trackSiteSearch', ajaxify.data.search_query,, ajaxify.data.matchCount]);
		} else {
			_paq.push(['trackPageView']);
		}
        _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
        _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'stats/piwik.php']);
        _paq.push(['setSiteId', 1]);
    }
    var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    g.type='text/javascript'; g.async=true; g.defer=true; g.src=u+'stats/piwik.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);

    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.contentLoaded', function(ev, data) {
        firePiwik(data);
    });
})();
</script>

<!-- End Piwik Code -->

@hmj can you provide the result of git rev-parse HEAD? I have a feeling you're on a commit with a feature we've temporarily rolled back

[hmj]

@julian said in How To: Piwik and NodeBB:

git rev-parse HEAD

@julian Resurrecting an old thread, it is still relevant though.

Since upgrading NodeBB from v1.4.5 to v1.12.1 my Piwik analytics code no longer works. It looks like @hmj had this same problem when he upgraded to v.1.6.0.

Does anyone have suggestions on what may have changed such that this doesn't seem to work any longer?

$(window).on('action:ajaxify.contentLoaded', function(ev, data) {
        firePiwik(data);
    });

Thank you.
