@wetlands

I mentioned this on my other Piwik post, but I would suggest you look into OWA Open Web Analytics.

Very powerful analytic features including visualizations and site-paths.

The layout is also more akin to Google Analytics, making for an easy switch.

@eawQuint

Great question. I guess my answer depends on your structure.

Piwik allows you to specify multiple domains to be considered as one site. (example : mysite.us, mysite.com, mysite.org) in which case you could view all data (unique visitors, content, times ,etc ) on one chart.

If they are unique sites in terms of content, then you obviously don’t want to go down that road. But Piwik offers a great API and export abilities, so you could easily build a widget to do this, or export the data to Excel and make an aggregate graph there.

I would like to find a way
to view the unique visitors
to a dozen or so sites
on one page
in chart form.

Ideally, it would be on a dozen graphs, or it could be on one chart.

Can Piwik do this?

Thanks Eddie, you saved me a huge amount of time!!

There aren’t many stats program that have this feature and it should be actually much easier to implement.. I’m sure it would bring a lot more people to Piwik.

Thanks again!

@Jonathan – Sorry for the delay.

It would be easy enough to insert

document.domain

in order to get the current domain.

Alternately you can see the full url by using

location.href

Insert into the piwik_action_name = ”; parameter…

piwik_action_name = location.href;

Hope that helps anyone in your situation out. – EW

Actually.. the reason its being searched is likely because there is zero documentation on how to use piwik with multiple domains with a single IDSITE.

Lets say someone has 100 websites.. piwik allows you to drop in upto 200 domains into a single idsite so that you can add that code to all the sites and be able to get an overview of them all from one page. Useful right?

Problem is.. Piwik only displays the page names.. and not the domain names of where the traffic is being generated. in the javascript code doc it talks about using the action_name to show page titles.. but what we really need is to see urls.
