Custom widget for pageviews of specific pages?

Support & Bugs
1

Here’s what I’d like to do.

I’m getting ready to run a contest on my site which is based on number of pageviews for user-submitted articles.

I would like to create a contest rankings page that shows the pageview counts for the user-submitted articles in real-time, using a Piwik custom widget.

I would need a way to tell Piwik which articles to display in the pageviews widget so that only the user-submitted articles appear there.

Can I do this right now with Piwik, and if so, how?

Thanks,

Jacob

Hi,

I guess you could make it using custom variables. See doc here: http://piwik.org/docs/javascript-tracking/#toc-custom-variables

Thanks jOoL.

What do you think of this:

  1. Use a custom page variable to signal that the page is part of the contest

  2. Only set that custom page variable on pages that are in the contest

  3. Create a custom report to list pageview counts for all pages that have the custom page variable set (or count the number of times the variable was set for a given page, since it’s once per pageview = same thing)

  4. Give the Anonymous user access to that custom report so I can publish it on my site publicly

Do you think this would work?

You’re welcome.

This sounds good. You may want to set an additional custom variable with author name.
