Can a specific route include specific js - Piwik tracking

[rod]

@pichalite and @psychobunny Yes, yes. Now it is working better. Thank you.

How do I see what other variables are available specifically related to the search. Really my code bit needs to report to Piwik the search term and hopefully the result count.

_paq.push(['trackSiteSearch', searchTerm,, resultCount]);

Are those two variables available to me?

Thank you.

@rod add a console.log(data); to your code and you can see what's in the data object in your browser console

the data object has url and tpl

if there is a search query, then the url will look like this
search/welcome?in=titlesposts&sortBy=timestamp&sortDirection=desc&showAs=posts

so the part between search/ and the ? is the search term. welcome in this case.

@pichalite Are there any other objects that would report back the number of results? The actual search page does return the number. Is that available to my js code bit?

[rod]

Looking at the source for NodeBB on github in search.js I see this:

if (data.searchIn === 'posts' || data.searchIn === 'titlesposts') {
					search.searchQuery('post', data.query, results.searchCids, results.searchUids, next);

Is the data.query object available to me?

[pichalite]

@rod yup, should be available in ajaxify.data.matchCount

[rod]

@pichalite that worked like a champ. I was hoping that ajaxify.data.query would also work but it did not.

[pichalite]

@rod it is available in ajaxify.data, use ajaxify.data.search_query

[rod]

@pichalite And voila!

_paq.push(['trackSiteSearch', ajaxify.data.search_query,, ajaxify.data.matchCount]);

Piwik now gets the search query and the number of results.

And, yup, there it was on line 25 staring me in the face:
result.search_query = validator.escape(data.query);

Thanks for helping an 'old guy out.

I celebrated just a bit too soon. I think I need to tweak it a bit. Piwik isn't getting the count correct. Recording "1" for all returns, more than 1 and even for zero. I'll keep chipping away at this.

[rod]

All is good. The correct information is being fed to Piwik. Thanks all for your help.

If you are interested, it would be great if you wrote a guide to set up Piwik for NodeBB

I'm thinking of adding a "tutorials" category for stuff like this

[rod]

@psychobunny Considering how helpful this community has been it would be my pleasure to contribute back in this tiny way. I will take ownership of writing up a document on how to make Piwik and NodeBB work in harmony.

Awesome I went ahead and created a tutorials category, hope to see that full of guides in the near future
