Scoping of setCustomVariable

Support & Bugs

Hi. I was wondering if the following snippet would override the custom variables (because of it’s identical IDs).


<!-- Piwik -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  var _paq = _paq || [];
  _paq.push(["setCookieDomain", "*.localhost"]);
  _paq.push(["setDomains", ["*.localhost"]]);
  // you can set up to 5 custom variables for each visitor
  _paq.push(["setCustomVariable", 1, "Type", "Customer", "visit"]);
  _paq.push(["setCustomVariable", 2, "Gender", "Male", "visit"]);
  // you can set up to 5 custom variables for each action (page view, download, click, site search)
  _paq.push(["setCustomVariable", 1, "Category", "Blog", "page"]);
  _paq.push(["setCustomVariable", 2, "Language", "English", "page"]);
  _paq.push(["trackPageView"]);
  _paq.push(["enableLinkTracking"]);

  (function() {
    var u=(("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https" : "http") + "://localhost/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);
  })();
</script>

no because they use different “scope” (visit & page) which don’t overwrite each other
