    Hi Sumit,

    did you enable admin tracking? Otherwise your user will not be tracked (but everyone else that is not an admin will). Just for verification, the Site ID field takes the value UA-XXXXXX-XX (where X are numbers).

    Hi David, thanks for the response, Yes, I did have admin tracking on and I had the right Site ID. Good news is now I am seeing analytics data on my GA dashboard. I guess it takes some time for GA to capture the data to report. So, all good now!

    I really like how the pages are not being reported in generic fashion (blah/blah.php?id=3) but rather more descriptive. Great plugin!

    Thanks,
    Sumit

    Hi David,

    First of, thanks for the awesome development towards creating this plugin. !!

    Does it also track if a user performs a download of a document file/any files ?

    cheers,
    Sam

    hi Sam,
    it does when you use piwik, however it does not when using Google Analytics. This is because piwik uses auto detect for downloads where as Google would need code to achieve this.

    Hi David, looks like a great plugin. Have just installed (along with latest version of Piwik on same server as my Moodle Dev environment.) But I don't seem to be getting any real time stats?

    Site Id is: 1
    Site URL is: vle-dev.exe-coll.ac.uk/vle
    The only thing I was a little unsure of was formatting of analytics URL - I've currently added it as
    vle-dev.exe-coll.ac.uk/piwik 

    any help appreciated.

    Hi Chris, the analytics URL is the URL to your piwik installation so vle-dev.exe-coll.ac.uk/piwik should be correct. If you are not getting realtime stats, make sure you have enabled admin tracking as you are more than likely logged in as admin.

    When looking at the source of your Moodle it appears that there is a space after the analytics URL in your settings, so you need to remove that to make it work.

    Also, please grab the version I just uploaded as there was a slight bug with the previous version that did not correctly send page URL Titles.

    Hi David, how long does it take for the 'Page Titles' report top populate (normally)? no results so far...?

    Chris, please update again, I have further updated the plugin tracking code formatting, so linktracking and downlaod tracking is more reliable now.

    Hi Chris, if you can give me access to both the Moodle and Piwik I can take a look for you. As far as I can see from Public it should work.

    Thanks for sharing the plugin smile
    Only FYI, my localhost did not tracking anything until I copied&pasted the JS code in the additional HTML section in the Moodle platform (2.9.x).
