Extension:Matomo/nan

The Matomo extension (formerly "Piwik Integration") inserts your Matomo (formerly Piwik) tracking code to the bottom of every page. It can exclude the views of the users with 'bot' privileges (bots) and the 'protect' privileges (sysops).

This extension is based on extension Google Analytics Integration by Tim Laqua.

This extension was renamed in February 2019 from "Piwik Integration" to "Matomo", given the underlying software was renamed in January 2018 (more explanations).

Sing-kip
This extension was renamed from "Piwik Integration" to "Matomo" from version 4.0 :
 * if you installed it with Composer, rename the package "mediawiki/piwik-integration" to "mediawiki/matomo";
 * if you installed it as a classical MediaWiki extension, rename the directory "Piwik" or "Piwik Integration" to "Matomo".

In both cases, now you need to explicitly activate the extension with

Disable cookies by setting the variable to. For example:

To define custom JavaScript tags in the Matomo JavaScript code, its possible to define the $wgMatomoCustomJS variable. For example if you have a single setting to insert; use the following code:

If you have multiple variables to define; use an array. For example:

If you want to change the title of your pages inside the Matomo tracker, set inside your LocalSettings.php file.

In case you want to include the title as, for example, "wiki/Title of the page", you can set to  and set  to. The extension will print piwik_action_name = 'wiki/Title of the page';

By setting to   you can enable Matomo to also count page hits done by MediaWiki users who have the "protect" user right. By default, sysop users have this right and so - by default - their page hits are not counted. Default: $wgMatomoIgnoreSysops =.

By setting to , you can enable Matomo to also count page hits done by MediaWiki users who have the bot right. By default their page hits are not counted. Default: $wgMatomoIgnoreBots =.

When the JavaScript is deactivated, there is a fallback method using a hidden image. You can set the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) calling this image with with one of the following values: 'http', 'https', 'auto' (automatically set the protocol depending on the protocol used by the wiki).

If you have Matomo 2.7.0 or greater, you can set if you want to save the username of logged-in users in Matomo.

If you use a CDN to distribute the file "piwik.js", you need the version incorporating this pull request (2.4.3+) and you can set  (do not write the protocol "http://" or "https://", it is automatically added); the parameter  must still be configured with the Matomo server collecting analytics.



Sú-iōng MobileFrontend tsìn-hîng tui-tsong
Due to a bug in, Matomo will not function when 'Mobile view' mode is used with the MobileFrontend Extension.

For those desiring to track across both views, comment or delete the Matomo entries in  and add to the file:

Then paste the Matomo tracking code generated in the Matomo dashboard into http://www.example.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js. Matomo will now track users in both Desktop view and Mobile view. Take care: This workaround currently breaks the VisualEditor Extension. (2015-10-01)

By default Matomo recognize the searches on the internal search engine (the page Special:Search), because the URL parameter used by MediaWiki ("search") is in the default recognized parameters.

This can also be slightly improved by setting the two parameters:
 * "Query parameter" = "search" &mdash; this will remove some false positives compared to the default value;
 * "Category parameter" = "profile" &mdash; Matomo will recognize as search category the profile on top of the MediaWiki search page.

This can be either as global parameters in Administration > Websites > Settings > Tracking Internal Site Search, but preferably in the site-specific configuration in Administration > Websites > Manage > [your wiki] > Edit and uncheck "Use default Site Search parameters" and fill the parameters.
