Better view/edit/create statistics?

Help / Discuss
1

There is a old “snippet” for showing a more interesting statistic view from within XWiki than the current Statistics Extension provides, but I haven’t gotten it to work quite yet. https://snippets.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Most%20Viewed%20Articles

My question is; does anyone have a working version of this or an improved one? Or have most of you moved to Google Analytics or Piwik/Matomo instead? Because I for one find the current Statistics Extension to be overly simplistic and I would love a more detailed overview of exactly what pages/spaces are the most viewed, edited or seeing new material in.

With kind regards
Patrik

Hi @flatrick. I don’t know much about this snippet (should be easy to fix I guess) but the recommendation is to use Matomo which is a lot richer: https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Piwiki%20Integration

Note: I’ve just added a missing warning to https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Statistics%20Application :wink:

Thanks

Hi @vmassol, thanks for the clarification :slight_smile: Then I’ll probably just take the time and setup my own Matomo-server and hook it up that way :slight_smile:

In case someone else finds this thread and want some tips on how to configure Matomo, here are my “Goals” for XWiki so that I can track Views, Edits, Creates and Deletes performed by the users with Matomo

@flatrick This is great and really helping. Would be awesome if you could document this in the extension itself at https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Piwiki%20Integration (I think it would have more impact than here in the forum). WDYT?

Thanks!

I’d love to! I’ll try to get to it in next couple of days :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey @vmassol, I’ve taken the time to write some instructions, but I’m not quite sure how to squeeze them in to the current extension-page, I feel like it adds quite a bit of length to scroll through (it doesn’t fit within one screen on my 1920x1080 resolution screen with standard dpi-settings).

Is there anywhere else I could store the article that makes sense for you and then link to from the extension? For now, I left it as a comment in it’s current (unfinished) form

Could you put it in the draft area at https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/ so that I could see it and decide where to best put it?

Thanks a lot, that’s great! :slight_smile:
