How to make piwik track ajax calls?

Question

I wonder how I can make piwik track ajax requests. There is an API, but I don't understand what I must do exactly, to see ajax loaded pages in the dashboard.

perhaps this:

_paq.push([ 'API_method_name', parameter_list ]);

Where should I place this (globally or for every ajax call) and what are the right API_method_name and parameter_list ?

Thanks for help

Answer 1

I found Event Tracking .

_paq.push(['trackEvent', 'Photo Viewer', href]);

Which I call in my ajax function. It shows arrows in the dashboard.

Answer 2

For those who are a bit newer at web development, here's the detailed explanation:

Add the piwik tracking code to the page head as usual, then add the following in the html link which loads the ajax content:

onclick="javascript:_paq.push(['trackEvent', 'NavMenu', 'CV']);"

So, the full ajax link that you wish to track, in context might look like this:

<li class="cv"><a href="./main/cv.html" onclick="javascript:_paq.push(['trackEvent', 'NavMenu', 'CV']);">CV</a></li>

"NavMenu" and "CV" should be changed according to your links & preferences.
