PIWIK-YOURLS

A Piwik plugin for YOURLS

Features

• Logs all requests with Piwik
• Tracks IP and custom variables
• Lets you disable local tracking/stats
• Includes "Don't Log Bots" from OZH

Requirements

• PHP 5.3
• PiwikTracker.php from your Piwik installation

Setup

YOURLS

• Pull the files to /user/plugins/piwik
• Place PiwikTracker.php into the /user/plugins/piwik/libs/Piwik folder
• Activate the plugin in the admin zone of YOURLS
• Go to the plugin page and fill in the required fields

If you want better alert messages, you need to apply this change to your YOURLS installation.

Piwik

• Create a test "website" and use that at the beginning until you find the right way to log your hits
• Create or assign an admin auth token to that site
• Visit some of your links
• Check the hits on the "Visitors in real-time" widget

Modifications

If you're not happy with the way hits are tracked, just change the way the plugin does it by editing:

    // This shows up in the visitor logs and identify the source of the data
    $pt->setCustomVariable(1, 'App', 'Piwik plugin for YOURLS', 'visit');

    // Some useful variables
    $pt->setCustomVariable(2, 'Domain landed', $domain_landed, 'page');
    $pt->setCustomVariable(3, 'Keyword', $keyword, 'page');

    // Track the visit in Piwik
    $title = yourls_get_keyword_title($keyword);
    @$pt->doTrackPageView($title);

    // The destination URL will show up as an outlink
    @$pt->doTrackAction($destination, 'link');

in plugin.php, function "itfs_piwik_log_request"
