Use of matomo

[Stigian]

Hi,

Is it possible to use a tracking code from matomo in combination with Cumulusutils?

Not at the moment, but if you give me the information of what is needed it should not be too difficult to implement. So for analytics then there would be an identifier (Google or Matomo) and the Id (I imagine). For Google I know the code needed, for Matomo you would have to supply it.

Hi Hans,

That's going to be a script;

Code: Select all

<!-- Matomo -->
<script>
  var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || [];
  /* tracker methods like "setCustomDimension" should be called before "trackPageView" */
  _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
  _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
  (function() {
    var u="https://www.weerstation-vaassen.nl/matomo/";
    _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'matomo.php']);
    _paq.push(['setSiteId', '1']);
    var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    g.async=true; g.src=u+'matomo.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
  })();
</script>
<!-- End Matomo Code -->

OK.

I'll implement parameters StatisticsType being [Google | Matamo] and then the GoogleStatsId or the MatamoTrackerUrl and MatamoSiteId. For the user to edit in cumulusutils.ini. Google stats will be the default.

I assume this is the generic code for a page.

You have to remember that there is only one page in CUtils website so the statistics will only show loads and reloads, not clicks on reports. If you want to register report loads (e.g. a click on a gauge or a menu choice) then for Google I generate a gtag event registration call. Does Matamo have a similar call for registering specific events? If so, howto

I see you are Dutch so I suggest we exchange this generic info in this thread. Once it is ready and your 32 days have past so the site will generate, we can start debug and finetune this. For that phase I propose we do it in Dutch via PM or email.

That would be nice. The code is the same for all pages. Matomo can also handle tags but not so interesting for me. All I would like is insight into visitor numbers. Right now I am still running in simulator mode. The reason is to try out all the features before I hook my weather station to it.
