Alternatively, if your distribution packages Piwik, download and install Piwik from your distribution's repository and follow any instructions given.

Complete the Piwik install and configuration before installing the Piwik plugin for Gnu MediaGoblin.

Set up the piwik plugin

1. Clone the Piwik plugin repository from GitHub:

   git clone https://github.com/ayleph/mediagoblin-piwik.git
   

2. Copy the piwik folder to your MediaGoblin install:

   cp -r piwik /path/to/mediagoblin/mediagoblin/plugins/
   

3. Add the following to your mediagoblin_local.ini file in the [plugins] section:

   [[mediagoblin.plugins.piwik]]
   

Configure the Piwik plugin

You must provide the name of the domain to track, the location of your Piwik install, and the site ID of the domain to track.

Add the following entries to your mediagoblin_local.ini file under the piwik plugin:

[[mediagoblin.plugins.piwik]]
PIWIK_DOMAIN = 'mediagoblin.example.com'
PIWIK_LOCATION = 'example.com/piwik'
PIWIK_SITEID = 1

To find these values, open the Piwik web interface and go to Settings->Tracking Code. You'll see something like:

<!-- Piwik -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  var _paq = _paq || [];
  _paq.push(["setDocumentTitle", document.domain + "/" + document.title]);
  _paq.push(["setCookieDomain", "*.mediagoblin.example.com"]);
  _paq.push(["setDomains", ["*.mediagoblin.example.com"]]);
  _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
  _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
  (function() {
    var u=(("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https" : "http") + "://example.com/piwik/";
    _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'piwik.php']);
    _paq.push(['setSiteId', 1]);
    var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; g.type='text/javascript';
    g.defer=true; g.async=true; g.src=u+'piwik.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
  })();
</script>
