Custom widget without plugin programming possible / planned?

Support & Bugs
1

Hello all,

I have been searching the docs for a while now and finally decided to ask here at the forum, because my search was not successfull.

I know it is possible to create plugins in oder to realize widgets showing a custom subset of data in a specific way. But…

It is possble to use the API to tailor data shown by a already exsisting. For Example change

index.php?module=Widgetize&action=iframe&columns[]=nb_visits&moduleToWidgetize=VisitsSummary&actionToWidgetize=getEvolutionGraph&idSite=1&period=year&date=2012-06-06&disableLink=1&widget=1

to

index.php?module=Widgetize&action=iframe&columns[]=nb_visits&moduleToWidgetize=VisitsSummary&actionToWidgetize=getEvolutionGraph&idSite=1&period=year&date=2012-06-06&disableLink=1&widget=1&segment=browserName==FF

By adding the “segment” param the widget shows a subset of data.

Is there any way to ‘save’ this customized widget calls for reuse on a dashboard?

If it is not possible yet, are there any plans to create a possiblity like this in the future?

TIA

Best Regards

Happy New Year! If you are still using Piwik and interested in the awesome new feature of “Creating a Custom Segment in Piwik and apply to reports in Real time!” we need YOUR help, with a little or big donation at: http://crowdfunding.piwik.org/custom-segments-editor/

This will allow to dynamically add or edit, a new set of rules for example “Show all visitors from USA and using Firefox and using Google”. This will be done via a simple to use interface. See screenshots and more info here: http://crowdfunding.piwik.org/custom-segments-editor/

We are crowd funding the future of Piwik and this feature in particular. With your help we can do it.

Thanks
