Custom Variables not displayed in reports

Support & Bugs

Using Piwik 2.0-a11 from the Piwik Dev environment, I’m tracking some custom variables using the following code:


<!-- Piwik -->
<script type="text/javascript"> 

  var _paq = _paq || [];

  (function() {
    var u=(("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https" : "http") + "://apache.piwik//";
    _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'piwik.php']);
    _paq.push(['setSiteId', 1]);
    var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; g.type='text/javascript';
    g.defer=true; g.async=true; g.src=u+'piwik.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
  })();
  
  dvdsmpn.toInit(function ($) { // ####### this is essentially just a jQuery wrapper
    
    _paq.push(['setCustomVariable', 1, 'username', dvdsmpn.params.remoteUser, 'visit']); 
    
    if (typeof dvdsmpn.params.spaceKey == 'string') {
      _paq.push(['setCustomVariable', 2, 'space-key', dvdsmpn.params.spaceKey, 'page']);
    }
    if (typeof dvdsmpn.params.pageId == 'string') {
      _paq.push(['setCustomVariable', 3, 'page-id', dvdsmpn.params.pageId, 'page']);
    }
    
    // The order is important: first setCustomVariable is called and then trackPageView records the request
    _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
    _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
  });

</script>

<!-- End Piwik Code -->

This results in the following (selected) request parameters on piwik.php:


action_name:Welcome
...
url: http://dvdsmpsn-mbp.local/spaces/ds/Welcome
urlref: http://dvdsmpsn-mbp.local/dashboard
...
cvar: {"2":["space-key","ds"],"3":["page-id","98334"]}
...
_cvar: {"1":["username","admin"]}
...

I don’t see any of my custom variables appearing within the Piwik reporting interface under Visitors | Custom Variables

What am I doing wrong?

It looks good. are you looking at the right day?

Absolutely. I’m looking at the right day. Are custom vars working well in Piwik 2.0-a11? Or should I try out 1.x instead?

2.0 works well
