Lack of parameter in <noscript> part of Piwik's JavaScript tracking code #9360

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

Hello,

It seems that

tracking code:

<noscript><p><img src="//localhost/piwik1/js/tracker.php?idsite=2" style="border:0;" alt="" /></p></noscript>

when it should be:

<noscript><p><img src="//localhost/piwik1/js/tracker.php?idsite=2&rec=1" style="border:0;" alt="" /></p></noscript>

Result is that if somebody will implement tracking code from Piwik's website settings page -

This is currently on purpose from the looks see comment

By default, Piwik doesn't track non-JS visitors.

See https://github.com/piwik/piwik/blob/master/core/Tracker/VisitExcluded.php#L70-L82
