New Plugin: Typo3 Piwik integration
Typo3 is a popular CMS, "offering full flexibility and extendability while featuring an accomplished set of ready-made interfaces, functions and modules". It is quite a heavyweight CMS with a huge user and developer base.
There are 2 different Piwik integration in Typo3
1) Extension piwik-integration
What does the piwik-integration typo3 extension do?
- Install completly automated after TYPO3 Plugins installation
- Autosetup userrights in Backend
- Auto create sites in Piwik if configured in TYPO3
- Add Piwik widgets to TYPO3 frontend
- Add Trackingcode, even if it's recommend to use EXT:piwik

Example integration of Piwik in Typo3
For more information, please take a look at
2) Extension Piwik
Frank, a German user, developed a Piwik module to allow easy integration of Piwik in your typo3 pages. The extension is configured with TypoScript and will generate the Piwik code automatically.
You can find the documentation of the plugin on the typo3 community website page and download the plugin from the official extension repository.
Frank is planning to add an authentication sharing mechanism, so that users already logged in typo3 wouldn't have to login separately to Piwik.
Thanks for your work on the plugin, Frank! Good luck for the next steps.

Hi,
I don't plan an authentication sharing mechanism, but it is a very nice idea ;-)
The next step is a TYPO3 plugin which render the widgets of Piwik in any TYPO3 page.
by the way, TYPO3 writes TYPO3 and not Typo3 :-D

I'd like to see auto email reports to my customers. Say weekly or monthly and select which widgets they see.

Very nice extension – easily installed within one minute! Only 2 lines of typoscript are requiered and the docu is very good. One thing that should be mentionend: piwik_idsite = 1 for the first site monitored by piwik. piwik_idsite has nothing to do with the typo3-ids !

i will release piwikintegration in the TER in the next days.
I'm currently working on the authentification feature.
Current features:
– integration with simply setting a constant
– Backend Module "Statistics" which uses the constant to select the correct site in piwik (currently with different login)
planned
– authentification with typo3 api
– automated siteId creation on first Backend Module Opening (if constant is set) and configuration of the user
– automatic mysql configuration via typo3

i try to install the plugin, by copying the files into the /piwik/plugin/xxx/ folder. but what is the right name for the xxx folder?
and in wich file do i have to put the following lines:
config.tx_piwik {
piwik_idsite = 1
…….
?
is there maybe a detailed manual for the piwik plugin?

Hello Paul,
i uploaded piwikintegration some minutes ago.
I'd like to see if the manual was detailed enough, so please give me some feedback (mail in manual).
Features:
– Full integration of piwik
– DB Access Data Sync
– Automated User Access Configuration
– SingleSignOn
– see manual for more information
The extension should be visible under
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/piwikintegration/current/

Regards Kay
PS: The extension is still alpha and i hope it works for you.

Hi,
will the typo3-Plugin be updated for the new javascript Tracking Code?
Or can I use the old one (which is currently implemented inside the typo3-Plugin)?

vielen dank, wir nutzen Typo 3 und haben nun Piwik implementiert. Tolles Tool.

The plugin does not conform to w3-standards, especially xhtml-strict. (the script tag does not have a language attribute!!!)
Would this be updated in newer versions?

I think that it is a great idea to add an authentication sharing mechanism, so that users already logged in typo3 wouldn't have to login separately to Piwik. Great project!
Thank you!
