Piwik Mobile to display Custom Variables values when a Custom var name is clicked #2654
Description
Activity
I'd like to work on this feature. Also want to display a subtable for pages. For example clicking on '/support' opens '/support/contact', '/support/faq', ...
Therefore the api has to return which API to call when a row is clicked (as you mentioned) and maybe which parameter to pass.
see also #2742
Moving to Piwik core so that we hopefully get going in the next 2 months on this :)
Thanks Benaka for your work on this and unblocking Thomas to continue improving Piwik Mobile, to display the very useful sub-table analytics data!
Excellent !! Users will love this... such an important feature and will expose critical data in the mobile app. Kuddos Thomas and Benaka :)
Some questions;
- do you leave the parent table visible and display the subtable - or do you only display the subtable in a new window?
- Thomas would you mind posting some screenshots of the feature?

Good, on the "Back" button when viewing the subtable, could you write the
name of the parent report ie. "Custom Variables" instead of "Back" on the
button?I had wrote the name of the parent report ie "Custom Variables" instead of "Back" in a first version and then replaced it with "Back". There is often not enough space on a mobile device. Shall I do it though? It definitely makes sense on the iPad, not sure for iPhone. Maybe it is indeed better to have a shortened title instead of only "Back". I'll attach another screenshot.

Definitely, however, can you please split 2 words on 2 lines as it would look much better and use less width!
It's not possible to split text into multiple lines in header. Multiple lines are not supported by Titanium there and I'm pretty sure also not by iOS. It's also not possible to specify the width or height of the back button.
Ok thanks for confirming - it's nice as it is.

When clicking on a row (Custom var name) Piwik mobile would show a subtable with values (custom var values)
Requested in: http://forum.piwik.org/read.php?2,76375
Piwik Mobile requirements:
In this case, the "swipe / back" gesture would come back to the previous "Custom variable names" report.
Both solutions would be fine IMO... whatever is easiest/best could be done?
There are also "Piwik core" requirements to make this feature work:
Piwik Metadata API also returns which API to call when a row is clicked eg. CustomVariables.getCustomVariablesValuesFromNameId
Piwik metadata should support the API call CustomVariables.getCustomVariablesValuesFromNameId currently unsupported
Then piwik mobile would call metadata API for this API method which would return the whole report for the row clicked, as a standard Piwik report
Any feedback please post a comment!
