option to exclude all query parameters - or to include only required/wanted paramters #2620

Open anonymous-matomo-user opened 13 years ago

anonymous-matomo-user commented 13 years ago

we use piwik in our intranet. we are not interested in the query paramters. so at the moment you only can exclude parameters by setting a list of query parameters in gui -> config -> website.

how about an option to exclude ALL of the parameters. at the moment i have patched core/Action.php in line 190

$parsedUrl['query'] = substr($validQuery,0,-strlen($separator)); $parsedUrl['query'] = ''; // new $url = Piwik_Common::getParseUrlReverse($parsedUrl);

simple way to remove all of the parameters.

make this configurable for all or certain websites.

one more option: maybe have an option to

i am not sure, how save it is to remove all the parameters the way i do it at the moment. for example the SiteSearch plugin needs the query params to track searches. so there might be a conflict.

my problem is, in our intranet we have index.php?search=foobar. so in the aciton page report we have "houndreds" and "thousands" of index.php?search=xxx entries. i want only see index.php, but have the search=xxx in the SiteSearch report.

but this is another subject. at the moment i have disabled the sitesearch plugin as we have this informatio in our search database.

At least we should option to "exclude all parameters" from all websites, or per website.

+1 Vote to add a check "Exclude all URL parameters" below each Excluded URL Parameters Textarea. Setting cached in cache/tracker/.

There's a workaround - you can strip all not needed parameters directly in the tracking code - it's similar to forcing lowercase URLs (of course some more logic required). See http://piwik.org/faq/how-to/faq_90/

This #10846 pull request can help. Allows to use a regular expression for the exclude option. /.*/ will exclude all parameters.
