Renaming the Live feature title within System --> General Settings #21923

Open Chardonneaur opened 7 months ago

Chardonneaur commented 7 months ago

Hi team, Currently, the GDPR feature to disable/enable the visit log feature is named Live under System --> General Settings. It makes it hard to identify what it does. Would it be possible to rename it in something more self explanatory?

Thank you,

Adding a screenshot of the current wording for easy reference:

I'd agree that the header isn't very descriptive.

My suggestion would be "Real-time data settings", which seems in line with the rest of the headers' naming convention. @Javi-Ormaechea or @ronak-innocraft Can you sense check?

ronak-innocraft commented 6 months ago

@Chardonneaur Is this documented on our user guides on where to find it and how to configure?

Chardonneaur commented 6 months ago

@ronak-innocraft yes, step 10 here https://matomo.org/faq/general/configure-privacy-settings-in-matomo/

Javi-Ormaechea commented 6 months ago

@ronak-innocraft & @Stan-vw that makes sense, maybe just "Real-time data" as it's found under Settings already?

Note: All settings displayed on the general settings page are settings for a plugin. The title displayed is currently always the plugin name. So to allow a custom title, we need to add a way for plugins to set a custom title for their system settings. In addition that name needs to be passed through when the settings are loaded through the API. So this will be a bit more effort than simply changing a text.

Stan-vw commented 6 months ago

If I recall correctly, changing the title of a plugin is time consuming as well, as it is used across various different places that then need to be adjusted as well.

sgiehl commented 6 months ago

Yes. That would be even more effort.
