Custom properties with v2rc1

[thenitai]

Hi,

I've installed the latest v2rc1 to get the custom page view properties to appear (the previously installed v1.5.1 did not show them).

However, they don't work, or maybe I do something wrong. This is how I pass the custom props:

const { trackPageview } = Plausible({ ...config... });
trackPageview({}, {
	props: { "id": '(value)' }
})

I expected to see a "Property" value in the filter dropdown. Statistics work as expected.

Any help would be appreciated.

The custom properties filter seems to be hidden behind a feature flag. Can you please try enabling it manually with

$ cd hosting
$ docker compose exec plausible bin/plausible rpc 'FunWithFlags.enable(:custom_dimension_filter)'

UPDATE: this flag is removed in v2.0.0-rc.2 #3011, so the custom properties filter is automatically enabled there.

Thanks. That worked perfectly. Finally, Plausible is really the tool I was looking for :)

Quick question (now that properties work). It looks like I cannot create sites with different filters, e.g.:

• site1.domain.com -> site 1
• site2.domain.com -> site 1
• siteA.domain.com -> site 2
• siteB.domain.com -> site 2
• *.domain.com -> site 3

Would you recommend to put everything under one site and then using the properties (URL field) to differentiate?

Thanks again.

Sorry, I don't know how to best approach this as I haven't used this feature myself yet.
