Liferay Piwik Integration - New Wiki Article

[David H Nebinger, modificado hace 11 años.]

I've just finished a wiki page documenting how to call a local piwik.org web analytics server for page tracking in Liferay.

Wiki page can be found here: http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Adding+Piwik+Web+Analytics+to+Liferay

Awesome! Thanks for your contribution, David!

Very detailed and useful information indeed :-)

But I was also wondering as to the answer to the question posted on the Wiki:

Could you elaborate on the rationales behind using server side over client side tracking?

Thanks,
- Aldo -

Well, unfortunately I don't seem to get notified of comments on the wiki pages, otherwise I would have answered...

I did post an answer out there, but to summarize...

Our Piwik server is an internal resource and is not exposed on the net. We could not do client side tracking w/o exposing the Piwik server, which we don't want to do.

Doing server-side tracking, we can keep our Piwik server hidden from the world and still gather the metrics we need.

Hi David,
I know this post is very old, but I just wanted to let you know that the link you provided  http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Adding+Piwik+Web+Analytics+to+Liferay, does not work anymore.
Do you know here the page was moved?
Thank you.Alla

I believe that the old Wiki is gone - but courtesy of the wayback machine: Here you are. You judge if it's still applicable today - it's from the 6.1 times.

Thank you very much.

Note that the original post is quite old...

First, Liferay added support for Piwik directly into 7.0 (might have been in an earlier version, I don't remember).

Second, Piwik changed its name to https://matomo.org but, even though there is a name change, I think the crux of the details are likely still going to be the same.

Yes. I know. But thank you for your comments.
