Segmentation of Dashboard

Support & Bugs
1

I’ve searched for hours to figure out how to pass in segmentation params to filter out results in the ‘Dashboard’ for specific custom variables we’re storing in the db - but just haven’t found the right solution.

This is what I’ve got as my src for the iframe:

http://www.domain.com/piwik/index.php?module=Widgetize&action=iframe&moduleToWidgetize=Dashboard&actionToWidgetize=index&idSite=<?=cstPIWIKSITE?>&period=week&date=yesterday&segment=customVariableName4==<?=$key1?>;customVariableValue4==<?=$value1?>;customVariableName5==<?=$key2?>;customVariableValue5==<?=$value2?>

The scope of the custom variables is set to “visit” and I’ve ensured that the data is indeed being stored in log_visit in the fourth and fifth custom var fields.

This issue is that there is this message on every widget = “There is no data for this report.”

Conversely, when I remove the segment params from the src above, I do indeed get results. However, I need this to be segmented out as different divisions should be able to mine their own analytics.

In case you need this info:
Piwik Version: 1.9
This is a standalone PHP site (not utilizing WP, Joomla, etc.)
‘Anonymous’ has ‘VIEW’ access
From global.ini.php = anonymous_user_enable_use_segments_API = 1

Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!

A bit hard to help you, without having access to your data. Start by putting only one segment customVariableX and if it works, add other ones, until it does not , then you will find out which segment restricts the data “too much”

The below src works fine:

http://www.domain.com/piwik/index.php?module=Widgetize&action=iframe&moduleToWidgetize=Dashboard&actionToWidgetize=index&idSite=<?=cstPIWIKSITE?>&period=week&date=yesterday

Neither of the below work:

http://www.domain.com/piwik/index.php?module=Widgetize&action=iframe&moduleToWidgetize=Dashboard&actionToWidgetize=index&idSite=<?=cstPIWIKSITE?>&period=week&date=yesterday&segment=customVariableName4==<?=$key1?>;customVariableValue4==<?=$value1?>

http://www.domain.com/piwik/index.php?module=Widgetize&action=iframe&moduleToWidgetize=Dashboard&actionToWidgetize=index&idSite=<?=cstPIWIKSITE?>&period=week&date=yesterday&segment=customVariableName5==<?=$key2?>;customVariableValue5==<?=$value2?>

Also, it should be noted that when using either one of the immediate two above, when I click on ‘Widgets & Dashboard’, the ‘PREVIEW’ of the widgets that I could choose DO work…including the ‘Custom Variables’ widget with the correct data, however, when I select it to add to the Dashboard, I get the same empty result set for my data.

I could choose DO work…including the ‘Custom Variables’ widget with the correct data, however, when I select it to add to the Dashboard, I get the same empty result set for my data.

So it works in one feature but not the other? do you see this bug with all segments eg. segment=country==fr ?

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
