Module: Matomo Analytics Author: Alexander Hass Description =========== Adds the Matomo tracking system to your website. Requirements ============ * Matomo installation * Matomo website ID Installation ============ * Copy the 'matomo' module directory in to your Drupal 'modules' directory as usual. Usage ===== In the settings page enter your Matomo website ID. All pages will now have the required JavaScript added to the HTML footer can confirm this by viewing the page source from your browser. Page specific tracking ==================================================== The default is set to "Add to every page except the listed pages". By default the following pages are listed for exclusion: /admin /admin/* /batch /node/add* /node/*/* /user/*/* These defaults are changeable by the website administrator or any other user with 'Administer Matomo' permission. Like the blocks visibility settings in Drupal core, there is a choice for "Add if the following PHP code returns TRUE." Sample PHP snippets that can be used in this textarea can be found on the handbook page "Overview-approach to block visibility" at http://drupal.org/node/64135. Custom variables ================= One example for custom variables tracking is the "User roles" tracking. Enter the below configuration data into the custom variables settings form under admin/config/system/matomo. Slot: 1 Name: User roles Value: [current-user:matomo-role-names] Scope: Visitor Slot: 1 Name: User ids Value: [current-user:matomo-role-ids] Scope: Visitor More details about custom variables can be found in the Matomo API documentation at http://matomo.org/docs/javascript-tracking/#toc-custom-variables. Advanced Settings ================= You can include additional JavaScript snippets in the custom javascript code textarea. These can be found on various blog posts, or on the official Matomo pages. Support is not provided for any customisations you include. To speed up page loading you may also cache the Matomo "piwik.js" file locally. Known issues ============ Drupal requirements (http://drupal.org/requirements) tell you to configure PHP with "session.save_handler = user", but your Matomo installation may not work with this configuration and gives you a server error 500. 1. You are able to workaround with the PHP default in your php.ini: [Session] session.save_handler = files 2. With Apache you may overwrite the PHP setting for the Matomo directory only. If Matomo is installed in /matomo you are able to create a .htaccess file in this directory with the below code: # PHP 4, Apache 1. php_value session.save_handler files # PHP 4, Apache 2. php_value session.save_handler files # PHP 5, Apache 1 and 2. php_value session.save_handler files
