problems with network activation

  • Hi,
    I′m using the plugin in a multisite-multinetwork installation.
    Usually you have to activate a plugin for each network in a multinetwork installation separately. Then the plugin is active on all sites in this network, but not on sites of other networks.
    With WP-Piwik it seems this is not the case. I activated the plugin in one network and all sites of all networks are listed in the ?page=wp-piwik_stats and are connected to Piwik.
    But the tracking-codes gets not included in the webpages and nothing is counted on Piwik.
    And an other problem: Some sites are showing up a few times (up to 4) in Piwik.
    Has anybody an idea how to solve this?
    Thanks
    Bernhard

    I found out, that the reason of showing a site more than once in PIWIK is different urls and protocolls are calling from the site, e.g. https and http

    WP-Piwik gets the site list by a database call. I’ve seen WordPress offers a method to do this since WP 3.7 – so I will try to use this instead. Maybe it well help to get your multi-network configuration work as expected. But: Due to WordPress’ own restrictions, this will only work on networks with less than 10.000 sites and users. (I can’t image how many sites and users you have if you need a network of networks. ;-))

    I’ll tell you if this change is applied. But I ask for your understanding that I can’t always make sure WP-Piwik will work with plugins like this multi-network which have a large impact on WP’s internal structures. Of course, I will try to use as many WP standards as possible (like this “get site list” method), but I can’t do specific changes for such plugins.

    Related to the tracking code: Did you log out before you checked the tracking code? You should check your filter settings (see Enable Tracking tab) and not be logged in as network admin if you want to check the tracking code inclusion.

    Different URLs: http/https should not be counted as separate sites by Piwik. But different URLs of course will cause different sites. If the sites differ by there sub domain, check the subdomain settings (see Enable Tracking tab). If you use several URLs for the same page, you should add these URLs to the websites using the Piwik dashboard, so Piwik can estimate the correct site IDs. (WP-Piwik requests the site ID by sending the URL to Piwik.)

    Hello braekling,

    thanks a lot for the plugin and the fast response!

    I′m not using multi networks because of the number of sites or users, but to organize the websites of different owners. So the mentioned WP restriction are deffinitely not a problem for me.

    Thanks for looking on this multi-site problem! In the meantime I′m using the plugin by activating each site separately.

    Related to the tracking code: Yes, I used a browser on a remote computer with which I was not logged in.

    Different URLs: Thanks – this is solved now. At least with the seperate activation of each site.

    Ok, a new version is released. Please check if this can solve your issues.

    If the tracking code is still not shown: Which tracking mode are you using? Is the tracking code preview shown as expected? Are you using some kind of a caching plugin?
