See discussion in: http://forum.piwik.org/index.php?showtopic=103

I couldn't install the plugin. I copied the two folders (Filter and DataFiles) into the plugins-directory and added the two names of the folders in the config-file. Is there anything else I have to do? Is there any installation guide available?

frag-titus: please use the forum for future support requests; you have to enable the plugin from your Piwik admin panel.

Maybe the position can be a link to the resource ? so i got "Google Page 1" so you can link with the keyword to
http://www.google.de/search?q=piwik&num=10&start=0
http://www.google.de/search?q=piwik&num=10&start=10
http://www.google.de/search?q=piwik&num=10&start=20

Please update to the latest version for compatibility with 0.2.35

Piwik 0.4 - nothing happens when I click "activate" on plugin, page just reloads.

Piwik 0.4 - nothing happens when I click "activate" on plugin, page just reloads.

I'm having the same issue with 0.4.1

Is there something I can check to see why it's happening (or not happening) so I can add something useful?

I'm having this issue with 0.4.3

After activating the plugin and adding its widget to the dashboard I get a widget called "Best search engines with average page". When klicking on a listed search enginge I get a text "Loading..." but nothing else happens.

From forum discussion, there's also interest in tracking the keyword's position within the results (e.g., using Google's "cd=" parameter).

Some extra information to attachement just posted:

In DataFiles/SearchEngines.php the closing ?> was missing this resulted in require_once errors. This again resulted in not tracking SearchEngines this problem should be solved with the fix.

In Piwik 0.6, there is a backward incompatible API change in the archiving code.

All SearchEnginePosition users will need to upgrade to the latest SearchEnginePosition plugin after they upgrade Piwik to 0.6. Piwik will automatically disable the SearchEnginePosition plugin during the upgrade to 0.6.

I tried this plugin for the first time on Piwiki 0.5.5. I didn't use the latest version from matt, because I'm not sure if it is backward compatible. But my problem is that I didn't see search enginge position. The widget shows exactly the same information as the "normal" search engine widget.

Added zip compatibility with Piwik 1.2

Replying to matt:

I've got the same Problem as ChristianSchneider.
I've updated to Piwik 1.2 and also installed the actual SearchEnginePosition.zip, but I can't see any search engine position. The widget behaves like standard search engine widget...

OK I'm moving this plugin away from the list until it is fixed some day...

Another bug report: Fatal error: Declaration of Piwik_SearchEnginePosition_Filter_AddAveragePage::filter() must be compatible with that of Piwik_DataTable_Filter::filter() in /var/www/plugins/SearchEnginePosition/Filter/AddAveragePage.php on line 18

Das Widget zeigt genau die gleichen Informationen wie die "normale" Suchmaschinen-Widget.
