I know there is support for Google Analytics within the admin panel, but I was curious to see if anyone successfully setup Piwik on their community. Where did you place your code at? Was this spot successful with the dynamic loading content? Should I keep an eye out for certain aspects when adding my code? I would like to take it a step further and track events with Piwik, but I won’t rush into that just yet. Has anyone trying doing this with any platform?

I haven’t used Piwik myself, but you could just add the tracking code by going to admin > customize > CSS/HTML > Add the tracking code in there and it should work. It looks like piwik uses a tracking code similar to GA so don’t see why that shouldn’t work.

Thanks for the confirmation! Which section do you think would be the best for this tracking code? Normally, I would put them above the , but I’m not sure if that refreshes enough to catch each page count.

The area is pretty much the only place it can go. Piwik state it must appear before the tag so just dump the code in there and you should be good to go :smile:

No problem! Just realised Discourse doesn’t like you using html tags in a post, you have to format it :slight_smile:

Did you search at all? There is an existing topic on this that covers your question exactly.
