Plugin for Click map

[mattab]

phpMyVisites supports ClickHeat (http://www.labsmedia.com/clickheat/) and Piwik could do the same.

The DEV version is available on http://www.labsmedia.com/clickheat/piwik/piwik-clickheat.tar.gz This is DEV only and may not work with latest trunk.

If you’re interested to contribute please contact hello at piwik.org and yvan DOT taviaud at m4am.net

www.mapsurface.com has an interesting widget that combines click location information & some basic visitor information.

I extracted the file into my piwik dir and opened http://piwik.example.com/ClickHeat.php

My apache log shows:
"PHP Fatal error: Class 'Piwik_Plugin' not found in /var/www/vhosts/piwik.example.com/httpdocs/ClickHeat.php on line 12"

Piwik version is 0.4.5

is there any ongoing development of this tool? -> i like the idea behind it and especially for short term tests click heatmaps are important -> perhaps the overlay mode (like google does) is an opinion, because there is no need to create a grafic.

I second kaystrobach's suggestion! Such a plugin would be very welcome, indeed!

Hi,

great idea to develop such a plugin. I know that the provided tar.gz still is a development version. However I'd like to give early feedback from my first try with piwik-clickheat:

I extracted the current version (either from http://www.labsmedia.com/clickheat/piwik-clickheat.tar.gz or http://issues.piwik.org/attachments/5493/piwik-clickheat.tar.gz) to plugins/ClickHeat and activated it in Piwik. When opening ClickHeat - Heatmap from the menu I get an error page containing 5 warnings:

Warning: Piwik_ClickHeat_Controller::include(/PATH_TO_WWW_DIR/piwik/config/clickheat.php) href='function.Piwik-ClickHeat-Controller-include'>function.Piwik-ClickHeat-Controller-include</a>: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in PATH_TO_WWW_DIR/piwik/plugins/ClickHeat/Controller.php on line 48

[...]

Warning: Piwik_ClickHeat_Controller::include(plugins/ClickHeat/libs/languages/en.php) href='function.Piwik-ClickHeat-Controller-include'>function.Piwik-ClickHeat-Controller-include</a>: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /PATH_TO_WWW_DIR/piwik/plugins/ClickHeat/Controller.php on line 49

[...]

After showing some similiar warnings it finally ends with

Fatal error: Call to a member function read() on a non-object in PATH_TO_WWW_DIR/piwik/plugins/ClickHeat/Controller.php on line 63

Maybe this feedback helps you to locate the problem (if any). Or is there a svn repository or the like where I could get snapshots from nightly builds?

Thanks a lot in advance (I'd really like to give piwik-heatmap a try on my testing system),
Tino

Sorry, I've been really busy these months... I'm looking at the package right now, I'll give you updates soon.

[dugwood]

I've just released a fixed release here:
http://www.labsmedia.com/clickheat/piwik/piwik-clickheat.zip

Can anyone give it a try?

Matt, can you change the url in the description to match this new one? Thanks. Can we add this plugin in the main package?

[dugwood]

Installation instructions: just unzip the file in your piwik/plugins/ directory, as there's already a subdirectory ClickHeat in the archive. Then go to your Parameters' page in piwik, and enable the plugin.

Please report any error you may see, even if it's working, thanks.

Hi,

I tested your fix. The reported errors in lines 48 and 49 disappeared. However it now shows other errors. Hope the following excerpts help!

Warning: Piwik_ClickHeat_Controller::include(/WWWDIR/piwik/config/clickheat.php) href='function.Piwik-ClickHeat-Controller-include'>function.Piwik-ClickHeat-Controller-include</a>: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /WWWDIR/piwik/plugins/ClickHeat/Controller.php on line 57
...

And finally:

After following blade106s instruction, this error occurs in Clickheat view

path = "/tmp/cache/clickheat/cache/" is not a directory or is "/"

preview of the website is available, but the height is only set to 20px

I think you've both got the same error: can you remove the line:
PluginsInstalled[] = ClickHeat

under [PluginsInstalled] in the piwik/config/config.ini.php

Then just list the plugins in the Parameters' tab.

The issue here is that ClickHeat is already installed, and the new install() function isn't called as it should be.

Matt: is there a function to run an upgrade, say I've made a change in a release, someone installs it but was on another release before, I want to update some things in his configuration file or anything else like this? Something equivalent to private function installPlugin( Piwik_Plugin $plugin ) in Piwik_PluginsManager.

[anonymous-matomo-user]

Hi blade106, I followed your instructions and indeed it now doesn't show any errors any longer when opening Heatmap. However I still don't see a Heatmap.

The group dropdown field is empty. The icons layout.png, reload.png and arrow-up.png from plugins/ClickHeat/libs/images aren't displayed at all (no access?). Clicking the links named "Layout refresh" or "Eigene Links speichern" or "Javascript" blanks the ClickHeat page.

Any idea?

[dugwood]

Do you have any Javascript errors? Which release of piwik do you use (I tested it against 0.5.4 only)? What browser?

May be you changed some paths in your configuration, and I mostly copied-pasted many things such as plugin directory and things like that (so bad there's no function to get the plugins' path easily or I didn't look enough).

The groups' list will remain empty until you click on a page with the javascript code installed on. So first issue is that you can't access the Javascript panel.

Does the following page work:
http://yourwebsite.com/path/to/piwik/index.php?module=ClickHeat&action=javascript

you should see a badly shaped form.
