[[Image(http://bergpalm.dk/trails.png)]]

Each page is represented by a circle.
The larger the circle the more hits that page have.
The more red the circle the more % of visits ended there.

Traffic from one page to another is represented by an arrow.
The larger and less opaque the arrow is the more traffic it represents.

You can pan around by dragging, and use mousewheel for zoom.

This was released very early in dev (release early, release often), so it's pretty bare-bones right now.
Installation is easy: just drop the Trails folder in piwik/plugins

Keywords: Actions, Visualization, Overview, third-party-plugin

It's an interesting idea for a plugin. In its current form, the plugin selects ALL data from the log table, which will definitely not work on a standard Piwik server. Such reports are interesting but the problem is that they are often too long / costly to process. Good job anyway :)

Tried installing it:

  • Uploaded the folder to server.
  • Activated it in Piwik plugins settings

Where should this show up? I can't see any new reports on my installation..

Replying to alejaaandro:

You can find a new option here: Actions => Trails!

;)

looks like a nice idea.

And it doesn't seem to care about the selected day/date range (as mentioned above).

I get a bunch of error's (actually not errors but notices) though.

Notice: Undefined index: 0 in plugins/Trails/Controller.php on line 48
Notice: Undefined index: 0 in plugins/Trails/Controller.php on line 59
Notice: Undefined index: 0 in plugins/Trails/Controller.php on line 62
But shows up/works anyway.
EDIT: i checked the table and saw some records with idaction_url = 0. I deleted them and don't get any mote notices.

Hi there,

I fixed some issues in Controller.php which I attached above.

Changes:

  • optimized SQL + runtime: JOIN to actions table (instead of fetching all datasets before), grouping by edge
  • limited result to top 30 edges to prevent memory issues and the trails map getting way too detailes / large
  • limited result to selected date range
  • "clean" variable initialization, optimized memory usage (i.e. by reducing array sizes after usage)

Now the plugin works fine with Piwik 1.9.2

Are there any requirements to fulfill on the server? I installed it, enabled it, and it shows up, but when I click it, I only get the controll panel in the lower right corner; no graphic. Yes, I allready do have records in the DB.
I cannot find an error in the logs of the webserver, too.

Along with the Piwik 2.0 release and new design for Piwik, we have also launched the official Plugins Marketplace to let any developer share their work to the thousands of Piwik users worldwide.

Maybe you'd like to publish your plugin there?

In any case, keep up the good work and we hope you enjoy Piwik 2!
