I’m playing aroung with content tracking (https://developer.matomo.org/guides/content-tracking).
I actually just want to track how often particular links in the global navigation are clicked - AFAIK content tracking should be the perfect solution for this.
Right now I am testing with the following and I do see it in the logs:
_paq.push(['trackContentImpression', 'Content Name', 'Content Piece', 'http://www.example.com']);
_paq.push(['trackContentImpression', 'Content Name', 'Content Piece 2', 'http://www.example.com']);
_paq.push(['trackContentInteraction', 'clicked', 'Content Name', 'Content Piece', 'http://www.example.com']);
_paq.push(['trackContentInteraction', 'whatever', 'Content Name', 'Content Piece', 'http://www.matomo.org']);
_paq.push(['trackContentInteraction', 'scrolled', 'Content Name', 'Content Piece 2', 'http://www.matomo.org']);
I currently see under Behavior > Contents the following:
So for the global navigation use case I could have a content name set to “Navigation” and each of the navigation items as the content pieces (“Navigation link 1, Navigation link 2, …”).
How do I see the additional metadata like the contentInteraction (clicked) or the contentTaget (example.com)? Is it visible anywhere in the UI? I would imagine that I see the different types of interactions in that report like “clicked, scrolled, whatever” somewhere as well as the targets?
When I do “Export this dataset” I get this:
"reportMetadata": [{"contentTarget": "[http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com/)","segment": "contentName==Content+Name","idsubdatatable": 1}],
Which is some of the metadata but missing a lot as you can tell.
What do you think would be the best way to track global navigation items or a link list for that matter?
