Hi,
we are facing very similar issues with

Piwik Version: 3.0.1
MySQL Version: 5.5.54
PHP-Version: 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.20

It´s not only the %20 - Blanks. At least also the "/"-Slash is affected.

Directly after saving the segment, the widgets show the expected data. But only once. After reload or anything else, the data won't ever appear again.
But: It appears again, if we "resave" the segment - even without changes. But again - only once. Reloading hides the data forever..

The segments don't show any data, when a "/" is part of the for example "Download-URL" or "Site-URL". If we reduce the url to a string without "/" or blanks, than it works as expected and not only once..

The problem affects all type of users.

Thanks

Hi,
The issue is with how Piwik url-decodes and encodes segments' definitions. There are several issues on Github, for example this one: #10126. Unfortunately, it is another complex Piwik Core bug :(

A workaround, in this case, would be to urlencode what is already urlencoded. So, for example, all '%20' change into '%2520', but characters that are not already urlencoded shouldn't be urlencoded (for example '/' should be still '/').

Hope this will be fixed for version 2.x and 3.x :)

Best regards,
iMarkus

it may be worth trying again your issue after #11321 will be fixed.

as you mention you were client of Piwik pro, they were not be able to help you there and propose a solution for this?

Please try our next beta tomorrow and check if it's fixed. We have fixed another segment encoding issue which may also help your issue here

Hi mattab,

we received the workaround from piwik pro. Looking forward to piwik-3.0.2-b5.

Best regards,
Markus

The release has been made so please try it and reopen if you still experience the issue

Hi mattab,

thanks so far. We will take a backup from our current database and update it to 3.0.2-b5. But it will take some time to prepare this.

I saw you marked it as "cannot reproduce yet". Therefore it would be nice to have an example in Piwik demo to reproduce and test it.

Best regards,
Markus

Hi again,

We now did the following:

• made a copy of our database
• setup a development environment just for this issue using the same version 2.16.2
• converted to Piwik newest Version 3.0.3
• deleted all archives
• started archiving process

Unfortunately the problem is still existing :(

Best regards,
Markus

@iMarkus any chance you could give us access to your PIwik? If so, please contact us via: https://piwik.org/contact/ and send the piwik url + login + password +link to this issue. Thanks

please re-open if issue still active

Hello,
we faced this issue with standalone Matomo 3.5.1. We tried to create the segment with the following conditions without luck:

• page URL is 'https://corp.com/path/with+some+spaces'
• page URL is 'https://corp.com/path/with some spaces'
• page URL is 'https://corp.com/path/with%20some%20spaces'
• page URL contains 'https://corp.com/path/with some spaces'
• page URL contains '/corp.com/path/with some spaces'

It works with the following condition but it is not what we want:

• page URL starts with 'https://corp.com/path/with'
