Confluence piwik javascript not rendered in head tags

Doug_Wandell
Doug_Wandell September 1, 2016

I think this has been touched on in other questions, but it still doesn't work for me. Trying to use Piwik for web analysis.

Confl. version is 5.9.5

Some docs say insert this in Custom HTML, in "end of head" section (this code comes straight from my Piwik server):

<!-- Piwik -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  var _paq = _paq || [];
  _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
  _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
  (function() {
    var u="//[OUR PIWIK SERVER URL]";
    _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'piwik.php']);
    _paq.push(['setSiteId', '2']);
    var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    g.type='text/javascript'; g.async=true; g.defer=true; g.src=u+'piwik.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
  })();
</script>
<noscript><p><img src="//[OUR PIWIK BOX]/piwik.php?idsite=2" style="border:0;" alt="" /></p></noscript>
<!-- End Piwik Code -->

 

This script never runs.

In another thread, someone did this:

 

<!-- Piwik -->
<script type="text/javascript">
    //https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+Use+JavaScript+in+Confluence
    var _paq = _paq || [];
 
    AJS.toInit(function(){   
        var u = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://<<INSERT YOUR PIWIK URL HERE>>" : "http://<<AND HERE>>");
        _paq.push(['setSiteId', <<INSERT YOUR ID HERE>>>]);
        _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'piwik.php']);
        _paq.push(['setCustomVariable', 1, "Space", AJS.params.spaceKey, "visit"]);
        _paq.push(['setCustomVariable', 2, "NTid", AJS.params.remoteUser, "visit"]);
        _paq.push(['setCustomVariable', 3, "User", AJS.params.currentUserFullname, "visit"]);
        _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
        _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
 
        var d = document, 
            g = d.createElement('script'), 
            s = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];         
        g.type = 'text/javascript'; 
        g.defer = true; 
        g.async = true; 
        g.src = u + 'piwik.js';
        s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s); 
    })();
</script>
<!-- End Piwik Code || Edited 1/9/2015, working with version 5.3.4 of confluence–>

 

This doesn't work for me either. Apache logs on the server side show no GET request so I think this isn't executing at all.
Anything else I can try? Thanks!

I have it at the end of the body, you should try as well (it works for me).

Apart from that, to verify that the code is being executed, you can add a Javascript message box. Every time you load a Confluence page (normal page, not administration one) you should get a modal message window:

alert("Hello! I am an alert box!!");

 Hope this helps.

<script type="text/javascript">
alert("test alert");
</script>

works as expected when placed in Custom HTML -> At the end of HEAD. I didn't try in in <body> tags.

So that's encouraging. I'll have to start looking closer at the Piwik-generated JS code to see where things are going wrong.
