@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 -->

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

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 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.

@pichalite I am quite sure that Piwik ignores them, installed a plugin to count bots now and I cannot see that it accounts for around 4k unique visits and at least 40k pageviews per day that are not counted in Piwik. I added GA tracking yesterday as well to compare to the two and GA seems to be in line with Piwik.

So I'm a bit baffled by the amount of traffic Nodebb is showing in it's backend.

Replicasets seemed to break here but fixed with the adding the replicaset name to config. Commented on it here.

I was wondering if I should file it as a bug.

Hi there,

Is there any other way to implement piwik other then adding it to the header. I've done it in my setup and it seems to be working but when I compare the internal dashboard with piwik the internal dashboard shows about approx three times more unique visits and page views.

Is there parts of nodebb where the header isn't loaded or other oddity that could explain this.
