Track Piwk Installation Itself

Support & Bugs
1

I want to track the Piwik installation itself but cannot insert the tracking Javascript anywhere - gives error. Image tracking does not logs full data. Can someone suggest in which Piwik script page I can insert the Javascript code. Thanks.

Hi ssgupta,

I think you could modify “piwik/plugins/CoreHome/templates/piwik_tag.tpl” to achieve this. Seems like the piwik tracking code is already inserted into each page.

Regards.

Is this the right way:

(a) Edit and replace my site URL in place of http://demo.piwik.org
(b) Replace the existing code with my site’s tracking code

Thanks for the help.

Hi ssgupta,

I think it should be sufficient to change the file piwik/plugins/CoreHome/templates/piwik_tag.tpl as follows:

  • Add your piwik url to the first line:
{if $piwikUrl == 'http://demo.piwik.org/' || $debugTrackVisitsInsidePiwikUI || 'http://yourDomain/piwik/'}
  • Set the correct site id in line eight:
var piwikTracker = Piwik.getTracker("piwik.php", 2);
  • Comment the setCookieDomain call in line 9 or set your own domain:
//piwikTracker.setCookieDomain('*.piwik.org');

Or leave the existing code untouched and add the following below:


{if $piwikUrl == 'http://yourDomain/piwik/'}
<div class="clear"></div>
{literal}
<!-- Piwik -->
<script src="piwik.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
 var piwikTracker = Piwik.getTracker("piwik.php", 2); // Set to your piwik website id
 piwikTracker.trackPageView();
 piwikTracker.enableLinkTracking();
} catch(err) {}
</script>
<!-- End Piwik Code -->
{/literal}
{/if}

To force the system to rebuild the templates you should delete all files starting with %% in piwik/tmp/templates_c/.

Many thanks.

Hi n0v1,

In the code above, {if $piwikUrl == ‘http://yourDomain/piwik/’} is only checking if $piwikUrl is set to ‘http://yourDomain/piwik/’ so where is it actually being set to ‘http://yourDomain/piwik/’.

I have adopted the code provided by n0v1 but it is not tracking my piwik installation. And it does not throw any error as well.

Please help.
Anjali.
