Ways of reading settings from config.ini.php for javascript?

Mikke_Schiren · April 12, 2022, 10:06am

For a custom plugin I am want to look into how to get values from config.ini.php into javascript, are there any standard ways of doing this?

Like
[MySetting]
foo = bar.

And get the value of foo.

Seems that I read th documentation badly
https://developer.matomo.org/guides/piwiks-ini-configuration#accessing-configurations-in-javascript

github.com

matomo-org/matomo/blob/f57a5313f7923c60e55c2b101351bccaae287330/core/Config.php#L183-L190

      
        
            return array(
                'action_url_category_delimiter' => $general['action_url_category_delimiter'],
                'action_title_category_delimiter' => $general['action_title_category_delimiter'],
                'autocomplete_min_sites' => $general['autocomplete_min_sites'],
                'datatable_export_range_as_day' => $general['datatable_export_range_as_day'],
                'datatable_row_limits' => $this->getDatatableRowLimits(),
                'are_ads_enabled' => Advertising::isAdsEnabledInConfig($general)
            );

Problem is solved I guess

Alternativly you could look at something like this:

github.com

matomo-org/matomo/blob/341265be9076ce16b96b023029092ddfb0c8b155/plugins/Live/Live.php#L47-L55

      
        
            public function addJsGlobalVariables(&$out)
            {
                $actionsToDisplayCollapsed = (int)StaticContainer::get('Live.pageViewActionsToDisplayCollapsed');
                $out .= "
                piwik.visitorLogEnabled = " . json_encode(self::isVisitorLogEnabled()) . ";
                piwik.visitorProfileEnabled = " . json_encode(self::isVisitorProfileEnabled()) . ";
                piwik.visitorLogActionsToDisplayCollapsed = $actionsToDisplayCollapsed;
                ";
            }
