New Plugin: Typo3 Piwik integration

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

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.

    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

    Regards Kay

    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?

    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)?

    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?

    @realminer,

    the're 2 plugins:

    Ext::piwik which adds the trackingcode
    Ext:Piwikintegration which adds the Backendmodule and installs piwik for TYPO3

    so the best is to install both.

    Take a look on forge.typo3.org -> piwik or in the manual of Ext:piwikintegration (screenshots need updates) ..

    Best regards
    Kay

    I have found the solution. You need first to install Piwik. I firstly though that to plugin for dotclear was working in stand-alone.

    Projects such as these reflect the true potential of open source software; kudos to the Piwik team.
