Usage with Subsites Module

When you're using subsites you can add the PIWIK Site ID for each subsite / domain in SiteConfig. To do this you have to add an extension:

SilverStripe\SiteConfig\SiteConfig:
  extensions:
    - Netwerkstatt\Piwik\Extensions\PiwikSiteConfigExtension

You'll also have to tweak the used template for the tracking code. Copy the default Piwik.ss file to your theme's /templates/ folder or to /mysite/templates/ and adjust the setting like

_paq.push(["setSiteId", "$SiteConfig.PiwikSiteID"]);

Exclude on some controllers

You can finetune the controllers Piwik should NOT be included using the PiwikExtension.excluded_controllers config var. By default the module is disabled on dev/build.

Usage with Subsites and Translatable

When you're useing Subsites with translatable you have to be sure to add it to the SiteConfig for every translation. One workaround might be if don't put the value fot the Piwik SiteID to SiteConfig, but directly to the Subsites DataObject.

Then don't extend SiteConfig but Subsite:

Silverstripe\Subsites\Model\Subsite:
  extensions:
    - Netwerkstatt\Piwik\Extensions\PiwikSiteConfigExtension

and change your template to reflect the changes:

_paq.push(["setSiteId", "$SiteConfig.Subsite.PiwikSiteID"]);
