When trying to generate urls to specific "points" within piwik automatically, we noticed urls contain same info several times.

Example:
url to visitor log of today for a special site looks like this:
http://piwik. ... /index.php?module=CoreHome&action=index&idSite=4&period=day&date=today#/module=Live&action=indexVisitorLog&idSite=4&period=day&date=today

when you structure it a little

http://piwik. ...
/
index.php?
module=CoreHome
&action=index
&idSite=4
&period=day
&date=today

/

module=Live
&action=indexVisitorLog
&idSite=4
&period=day
&date=today

you see it contains the following values twice:

  • site id
  • type of period
  • value of period (date)
  • action type (slighty different)

If you do things like segmentation even more values are doubled..

Can't/shouldn't this be simplified?

Hi @hpvd
It would be nice to have simpler URLs... Currently this works like this by design of how the javascript works. It's useful to have both for example when a Popover is loaded it loads both the report in the background and then the popover (2 different reports). It may be simplified when we will use more AngularJS features eg. their request router in Piwik.
