add code to wb pages?

[sebigbos]

Hi,

for some web analytics tools I needed to add a tracking code to the wb-pages. I did this just adding the code in the php-files in the pages directory and the code then appeared in View Source and all fine. After updating wb from 2.6.7. to 2.7. the code doesn´t appear anymore. Any idea which change in wb structure made this and how to change that?
thanks,
sebigbos

What kind of code do you mean? PHP? You can use a Code-Section or a Droplet for this. It will be left untouched on upgrade.

Your issue is that you should place this code into the index.php of the template. This way, if your template is not one of the standard templates and has it's own name and everything, it will not be overwritten when upgrading.

@webBird: php code, it´s a tracking code to count visits.

@klaus: the code submits statistics about the visits of every site, so I think I need the code be related to the different sites

I think the update did not change the pages-related files in the pages directory but the way this files were executed...

I'm sure there is a way of including the code into the template AND tracking the current page. (Using the PAGE_ID or page_title or something.)

Maybe you'd like to post the code here, so we can help.

hi sebigbos,

so I think I need the code be related to the different sites

...it'S a dynamik website....created by a template.....if your put a code/html/ja stuff in your template it will be output in EVERY page... google analytic chcounter and all the other tracking counters must simple paste in the index.php of your used template to get it working properly!

the index.php is == base for every page you create
the php stuff in this index.php is dynamic changed for every page like contentblocks or menus....

o.k., first, I love this forum, there always guys who like to help and do this at once....!

I don´t use google analytics or other, I use PIWIK. And this software, which is very good in ease of use and features and all, needs to place the code in all the pages (at least I think so and it worked until the update).

In old WB (2.6.7) including the code in the pages php-files makes the code appear in the source code of the page and the tracker (PIWIK) works. My idea is to get WB 2.7. to do this also. But I would accept any other solution of course. Here is the code of my home-site including the tracking code:

<?php
$page_id = 9;
require("../config.php");
require(WB_PATH."/index.php");
?>

Even if I repeat myself ... add this to your Template and not to the pages itself ... This way it gets added to every page WebsiteBaker serves!

Hm... I don't see where $page_id is used in the PIWIK-Code... But as Klaus said, just add the Piwik-Part to your index.php. (Of the template you use.)

If you need the var $page_id, just include this anywhere before PIWIK:

Code:

<?php
    $page_id = PAGE_ID;
?>

Edit: If piwik_idsite is the page id, try this:

Code:

<!-- Piwik -->
<a href="http://piwik.org" title="Web 2.0 analytics" onclick="window.open(this.href);return(false);">
<script type="text/javascript">
var pkBaseURL = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://www.musikunterricht-in-rosenheim.de/piwik/" : "http://www.musikunterricht-in-rosenheim.de/piwik/");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + pkBaseURL + "piwik.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script><script type="text/javascript">
piwik_action_name = '';
piwik_idsite = <?php echo PAGE_ID ?>;
piwik_url = pkBaseURL + "piwik.php";
piwik_log(piwik_action_name, piwik_idsite, piwik_url);
</script>

o.k., great, I added the tag (plus <?php $page_id = PAGE_ID; ?>) to the index.php and now the code is included in the source code of all pages. PIWIK is counting visits of every page, if I go directly to the URL.

It is not counting visits which are directed from an extern link or a search engine, like before with wb 2.6.7. and the code written in every page´s file. Maybe this is a question to be presented in the PIWIK-forum, but if you have any idea, welcome....

thanks so far,
sebigbos
