HiddenTracking plugin - no one (even search engines) will know you use Piwik for tracking at all! #2768

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-11-10T09:35:49Z

In short it works this way:

JavaScript (main.js) tracks the website analytics and transfers it to a PHP script (generator.php) with help of AJAX. The PHP script then transfers the analytics data to Piwik server using PHP Tracking API.

So after HiddenTracking got installed the user can add a new, regenerated JS to his website. This JS will not contain ANY mention of Piwik server or Piwik at all. So it looks like there is some JS on the board and that's it. It's fully works with PHP. The JS code that a user pastes on his website is just for gathering data.

Also one of the big differences from the "[https://github.com/piwik/piwik/blob/master/misc/proxy-hide-piwik-url/piwik.php#L3]" is that all happens automatically for a user. You just install the plugin from the general lists of plugins, activate it, and you're done. You go to "Settings > Websites" and do a few clicks. You don't need to be any good in HTML, PHP or JS to modify tracking code manually. And this thing allow_url_fopen = On just doesnt matter.

That's how HiddenTracking works in detail:

1. Classes of the plugin extends from SitesManager plugin.

2. After the plugin got installed and activated and a user gets to 'Settings' > 'Websites' a new column 'HiddenTracking code' will be displayed at the page.

3. For each website there will be a link "view tracking code" in the column to page where the user can get a new, regenerated tracking code to paste it into his website pages. The user will also get a link there to the archived files which he should put into his website root directory. The archived files and the tracking code are generated automatically each time the user clicks the link to this view tracking code page.

4. The archived files are:
PiwikTracker.php a standard PHP Piwik API file for tracking. 'PiwikTracker.php' goes to the archive from '/libs/PiwikTracker' directory.
Config.php a file with user settings such as website ID, token_auth, link to the current Piwik server. Config.php is generated dynamically.
main.js a JS file. It aggregates the analytics data to transfer it then to 'generator.php' file. The transferring is able with help of AJAX. 'Main.js' goes to the archive from '/plugins/HiddenTracking/tracking' directory.
Generator.php PHP script that transfers all the data to the current Piwik server with help of PHP Piwik API (PiwikTracker.php). Generator.php goes to the archive from '/plugins/HiddenTracking/tracking' directory.

5. So the next step is that the user should unzip the archived files (which was automatically generated for him) into the root directory of his website and paste the new tracking code to the website pages.

Question
1) Why is the instruction to install this plugin in the (root) directory - instead of the (Plugins Directory)

2) This link produced and error
http://www.tfc-training.com/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b/main.js

Can I please have an explanation and / or revised installation instructions

Thanks you so much for the feedback.

The instructions are correct but, yes, we had missed some things to say about. The installation instructions should look this way:

1. The attached archive (HiddenTracking.zip) have to be unzipped into Plugin directory. (So sorry we didn't mention about that)

2. Activate the Plugin in the Plugin list.

3. Go to the 'Website' page in your Piwik and click the related 'view tracking code' link (for the website you want to track) in the appeared HiddenTracking column.

4. Copy and paste the new tracking code that you see on the page into the website you want to track. Please note that you can't paste the same code to the other websites. Make new codes for each websites.

5. On that page, you'll also see that there is an archive that was generated right after you click the 'view tracking code' link. This archived files should be unzipped into ROOT directory of your website (not Piwik!). (that was what we were talking about)

And that's it.

As for your case. We see that you have finally do all things right. But please, check out next ones:

1. Be sure that after adding a tracking code to your website you unzipped the generated archive files (not hiddentracking.zip!) into ROOT directory of the website.

2. Be sure that the 'Codes' directory -- that you have unzipped from HiddenTracking.zip to your Piwik Plugins directory -- has also rights to 'WRITE'/'REWRITE', not only 'READ' rights. We think this is causing your problem.

We are sorry once again, we will fix the instructions that we mentioned in the 1st post.

And please, feel free asking us anything. We'll always try to help you.

Privet Kostya

Much thanks for the information

I have already done what you have said in your instructions

However - I now have a second problem - when I try to download the archive - I get this message; -

Fatal error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in /home/tfctrain/public_html/piwik/plugins/HiddenTracking/HiddenTracking.php on line 117

So once more can you please help

Regards

Lloyd Sewell

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-11-12T17:34:07Z

Hello Lloyd and thank you once again!

We really appreciate your feedback.

The reason the fatal error takes place -- when you're trying to download the generated archive -- is that you probably don't have the 'Zip' library.

So we're sorry once again, that's our bad. We hope we will fix this after this weekend. We will try to make this plugin more universal to use so that it could work well on any server build.

Thanks a lot for your help in making it better.

''Best regards,
Kostya & Codax team''

Hi Kostya

Much thanks for your feedback and your efforts - it is really appreciated

mattab · 2011-11-13T04:39:50Z

For the ZIP code maybe you should reuse Piwik_Unzip see example of use in plugins/CoreUpdater/Controller.php

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-11-15T09:14:57Z

Thank you both Matt and Lloyd.

As we promised we fix the 'ZIP' case. Now HiddenTracking works with the same library that Piwik uses ('pclzip'). So it should work properly on any server build.

We reattached the HiddenPlugin archive here and would be happy if you'll test this one.

Regards,
Codax team.

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-11-15T13:39:11Z

Hi Codax Team

Many thanks for your efforts - I have installed the new plugin

Privet Kostya,

Thanks - I can download the file now

But I cannot unzip the file - This is the error that I get - I have also tried a different unzip program - same result.

c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged,

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-11-15T20:18:39Z

Try to unpack the archive http://codax.ru/1c383cd30b7c298ab50293adfecb7b18.zip

If it does not, then send me your archive to seomozk{a}gmail.com

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-11-16T13:35:15Z

Hello to everybody! We've corrected the plugin. Now plugin can assign permissions to write to the folder "codes". And if it's not obtained then plugin asks the user doing it manually.

mattab · 2011-11-16T20:07:43Z

codax, one suggestion is that you write all files in piwik/tmp/X rather than in the plugin subfolder, since the tmp folder always has write permissions.

good work!

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-11-18T14:18:58Z

Thank you Matt. We fix things in our HiddenTracking plugin. And now it:

saves the archives to the 'piwik/tmp/HiddenTracking' folder;
uses the Piwik functions and classes everywhere where it's possbile;
has the folder links that leads to directories with defined Piwik constants;
tracks link clicks and downloads (was missed before).

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-11-19T11:07:37Z

Privet Codax Team

Much thanks for your efforts - however the downloaded (.zip) file cannot be unzipped
please use rarlab.com

Again many thanks

Lloyd

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-11-25T09:35:55Z

Privet Lloyd!

We keep figuring your case out. We also tested all the popular archive programs on several PCs and it works properly.

Please could you send us one of your generated archives that you can't get unzipped?

So we would able to find out the problem and post a solution for the case.

Regards,
Codax team

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-11-25T09:40:11Z

oops, have forgotten to write our email:
Send the archive here please: [email protected]

;) Lloyd!

Please unzip it using http://www.7-zip.org/ archiver
It's free and licensed under GNU LGPL

P.S.
We've unzipped using WinRar and It's worked.

robocoder · 2011-11-26T19:04:09Z

Lloyd: make sure you're downloading the actual attachment. The link above takes you to the download page.

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-11-26T20:24:13Z

Lloyd!

Hello again!

So musch thanks for the feedback. You're really helping a lot!
We've checked your archive and corrected the plugin once again.

Please, check the new plugin version using your system. We attach it.

And if the problem remains (we strongly believe that it will be solved now) please send us one of the unzipping archives back again.

''Regards,
Codax team''

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-12-12T21:12:14Z

'''Hello Lloyd!
'''

We've checked the archive you sent. And it unzippes perfectly. We mean it just works on our every PC and Mac. We also tested it both on Windows and linux-based OSs. We don't actually get what's causing your problem about unzipping this simple ".zip" extension.

Please also make sure once again that you did all the things right due to our SECOND post in this thread (we weren't able to edit the first one).

''Best regards,
Kostya and Codax team''

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-12-12T22:47:23Z

Hey Lloyd. We're sorry and will answer your questions in a minute via email.

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-12-27T13:27:58Z

The zip file generated for the site to be tracked is not readable using winrar or 7-zip.

I'm logged in as a piwik administrator.

In .com/piwik/ I go to Settings/Website Management
Select the link for Hidden Tracking Code / View Tracking Code
Copy/Paste the javascript to the site.
Click on the "download" link at the bottom of the page.

The downloaded file has a format of: c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b.zip .

When I attempt to open it with either 7-zip or WinRar I get an error message saying:

"Could not open file 'c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b.zip' as an Archive"

btw I was able to download and open the zip file you referenced in the previous post
(6 weeks ago) " http://codax.ru/1c383cd30b7c298ab50293adfecb7b18.zip "

-jay

The zip file generated for the site to be tracked is not readable using winrar or 7-zip.

I'm logged in as a piwik administrator.

In .com/piwik/ I go to Settings/Website Management

Select the link for Hidden Tracking Code / View Tracking Code

Copy/Paste the javascript to the site.

Click on the "download" link at the bottom of the page.

The downloaded file has a format of: c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b.zip .

When I attempt to open it with either 7-zip or WinRar I get an error message saying:

"Could not open file 'c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b.zip' as an Archive"

Hello Jay.

Looks like one more person faces the problem. And we're sorry about that.
To let us know what's wrong with your archive for sure, please send us the .zip file you couldn't open.

email to send to: seomozk {a} gmail.com

After that we'd report you soon. Thanks for understanding.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

anonymous-matomo-user · 2011-12-28T14:09:44Z

Hello Jay.
Please be sure that your 'piwik/tmp' folder has full access permission (777). If it doesn't, change it manually to '777' and then download the archive for your website once again. That should help.

Please let us know about result.

Regards.

After setting up hidden tracking when I click on "ok.html" link on the hidden tracking page I get a "500 Internal Server Error" which usually means a permissions problem so reading through this thread I see in comment #4 you said "Change permission of "yourpiwikdir/plugins/HiddenTracking/codes" to 755".

I do not have a "codes" directory in the hiddentracking directory and after checking the archive there is not one there either.

Could that be the problem?

If not what is wrong?

Hi.
Tell me please website address where you receive an error.

How do we use custom tracking with hidden tracking such as noscript image, etc for when the user is not using javascript, etc or tracking error pages or any of the custom stuff where we have to edit/alter the code, etc?

anonymous-matomo-user · 2013-02-25T18:46:21Z

I went to add a new domain and the new "view tracking code" column is gone. I checked the plugins section and hiddentracking is activated. I tried deactivating it and reactivating it with same results. Also, I go to system check with all green check marks.

EDIT: I cleared cache and cookies and the "view tracking code" column reappeared thankfully.

OK so I deactivated hiddentracking and then reactivated it and now have a page full of errors when I click on the download link to d/l the zip file on the Hidden Tracking Code page.

In an effort to fix it myself I deleted all the files/directories in /home/myaccount/public_html/mydomain/piwik/tmp/HiddenTracking and left it blank and deleted all the files/directories in the /home/myaccount/public_html/mydomain/piwik/plugins/HiddenTracking/ and uploaded new ones from the archive but that did not help ~ same errors.

How do I fix it please?

anonymous-matomo-user · 2013-03-05T09:27:42Z

Same problem here.... Tried setting chmod to 777, but it does not help. Would be cool if you could have a look at it. Tested it at 3 different servers.
There is still an .htaccess file in folder - Maybe this is causing the error?

In an effort to fix it myself I deleted all the files/directories in /home/myaccount/public_html/mydomain/piwik/tmp/HiddenTracking and left it blank and deleted all the files/directories in the /home/myaccount/public_html/mydomain/piwik/plugins/HiddenTracking/ and uploaded new ones from the archive but that did not help ~ same errors.

How do I fix it please?

You replied saying "Hi! Yes, we see the message, we will fix the error in the next week."
That was FOUR WEEKS ago!!!

WOW!

This FUSTERCLUCK gets WORSE and WORSE and you just keep IGNORING ME/us!!!

HELLO????

Please stop screaming around like a little child, radnor. That is how open source works :-) Codax wrote this beautiful script, but he does not get payed to offer support or anything else...

A temporary fix is to comment out the rmdir function. The script hangs because it does not have permission to delete .htaccess in temporary folder.

So just open HiddenTracking.php and comment out line 153:

rmdir($dirName);

to:

/*rmdir($dirName); */

The directory stays on ftp, but script is working again.

Hope that it helps.

Greetings.

How do we use custom tracking with hidden tracking such as noscript image, etc for when the user is not using javascript, etc or tracking error pages or any of the custom stuff where we have to edit/alter the code, etc?

How do we use custom tracking with hidden tracking such as noscript image, etc for when the user is not using javascript, etc or tracking error pages or any of the custom stuff where we have to edit/alter the code, etc?

Such as changes from the http://piwik.org/docs/javascript-tracking/ page
and
http://piwik.org/faq/troubleshooting/#faq_100 page

How/where do we edit/alter the code?

Is there any reason you keep IGNORING these questions/problems?

Thanks baschan for the workaround on the 500 error!

Anyone happen to know where we put the code for the above and the Image Tracking Link?

halfdan · 2013-04-04T00:05:10Z

@Codax, would you mind pushing the plugin to Github, so people can contribute there?

anonymous-matomo-user · 2013-04-04T09:02:05Z

OK further testing reveals from the raw log file:

this explains why it isn't working because the "hiddentracking/main.js" is producing a 500 error instead of tracking.

I'm sure this is related back to the "ok.html" 500 error problem as well but what is causing this and how to fix it?

Hello!
The deal is that we have lost touch with the person who was involved in the development of this plugin for Piwik.
Now we have some incomprehension in work with publications plugins.
Could you please let us know if there are the rules of publishing plugins for Piwik on Github?

halfdan · 2013-04-04T11:34:11Z

Thanks for the reply.

There are no specific rules. You can take a look at the Barometer plugin that I wrote: https://github.com/halfdan/piwik-barometer-plugin

I tend to use the piwik-pluginname-plugin naming scheme (e.g. piwik-hiddentracking-plugin). Make sure you provide a short README.md that describes what the plugin does and how to install it.

You should also include a LICENSE so people know if they can fork/change the plugin. If you are not owner of the code make sure to write a short attribution for the original author.

Along with the Piwik 2.0 release and new design for Piwik, we have also launched the official Plugins Marketplace to let any developer share their work to the thousands of Piwik users worldwide.

Maybe you'd like to publish your plugin there?

In any case, keep up the good work and we hope you enjoy Piwik 2!
