Get Plugin SystemSettings in Tracker hook newVisitorInformation throws error

Plugins & Platform

When using SystemSetting in a custom Plugin, i can’t get the value in hook newVisitorInformation, the following error occurs:

“CoreAdminHome_PluginSettingChangeNotAllowed”

following code:


    public function getListHooksRegistered()
    {
        return array(
            'Tracker.newVisitorInformation' => 'logCustomData',
        );
    }


 public function logCustomData(array &$visitorInfo)
    {

        if (empty($visitorInfo['location_latitude']) || empty($visitorInfo['location_longitude'])) {
                return;
        }

        $settings = new Settings('Weather');
        $aid = $settings->aid->getValue();

        if (empty($aid)) {
                return;
        }

        $api_url = EXTERNAL_API_URL . '?aid=' $aid;

        $response = \Piwik\Http::sendHttpRequest($api_url, 6);
        $response = json_decode($response);

       $visitorInfo['custom_data'] = $response['custom_data']';

    }

Additonally i need to query an external api to get custom data, any better way for doing this?

Hi pebosi, thanks for feedback. It fails because the settings check for user permission. I think in Tracker they should not check for permission. I created (and fixed) the ticket: Allow Plugin Settings to be loaded within Tracker flow · Issue #4924 · matomo-org/matomo · GitHub
please check with latest git master. Hope it helps!
