Example use case: Provider plugin to extend Visitor Log and Visitor Profile, covered #5341

This will be important for #7131 and #4734 . When a type (eg Website or MobileApp) disables some reports/dimensions, the related information should not be shown in the Live plugin. For example if referrers information are disabled by a type "MobileApp", no referrer information should be displayed in the Live reports.

This would be very much useful in order to extend visitor profile popup for additional information. Right now the only hacky way seems to be to add the data to the $visitor['customVariables'] array, even though the values are limited to 50 chars in the template.

Eventually, it would be great to have a way to add new rows (under the avatar) to the visitor profile popup, like Summary, Location, etc. That would give plenty of space to use there.

Adding tentatively to 3.0.3 milestone, to be fixed along with:

• https://github.com/piwik/plugin-CustomDimensions/issues/28 - Show custom dimensions in Visitor log
• Display all campaign channels tags in the Visitor Log and Visitor Profile plugin-MarketingCampaignsReporting#3 - Show campaign tags in Visitor log

Ideally we'd make both Visitor Log and Visitor Profile use same logic so that extending one extends the other too!

+1

would be perfect if this solution not only works for plugins but also for Piwiks "own" base data,
e.g. Content-tracking: display content views and interactions in the Visitor log #6416

for reasons, details, ideas regarding extending informations in visitorlog see also #6416

when extending information in visitorprofile one maybe should take this into account to give new information the right position:
visitor profile: built image of vistor is distorted #9507

does this also cover a possibility to extend visitor summary in visitor profile?
would be pretty handy for things like this one:
advanced-online-marketing/AOM#12

Actually yes, that should be possible by implementing a VisitorDetails class in the plugin and adding a ProfileSummary.

many thanks, awesome!
