Piwik wordt ontwikkeld als opensourcealternatief voor Google Analytics. Het maakt gebruik van php en een mysql-database om zijn werk uit te voeren. De functionaliteit kan eenvoudig worden uitgebreid via plug-ins, waarvan er bij installatie iets meer dan twintig worden meegeleverd. Natuurlijk kun je ze ook uitzetten als bepaalde functionaliteit niet nodig is. Voor meer informatie verwijzen we naar deze pagina en een overzicht van de planning is op deze pagina te lezen. De ontwikkelaars hebben versie 1.7.1 uitgebracht met de volgende aankondiging:
Piwik 1.7.1 is a minor release, bringing one new feature and resolving a few bugs.
What's new in Piwik 1.7.1?This new version does not contain major database schema changes, so the update should be quite easy even if your Piwik DB is enormous.
- The archive.php script now requires a new argument
--url=http://your-website.com/path/to/piwik/The URL auto-detection was not working on all systems so we had to add this requirement. The Auto archiving script documentation has been updated. If you upgraded to Piwik 1.7 and are already using the new archive.php, please update your cron setup to add this parameter or the auto archiving will not run.- In all Piwik reports, you can now select the number of rows to display in the table. Piwik used to display 10 rows for most reports, but you can now change to 10, 25, 50, 250 or 500 rows at once. It even works in the Visitor Log!
- If you change the number of rows to display in any of your Dashboard's widget, the setting will be saved and restored the next time you access your dashboard.
- The Referrers reports (Keywords & Search engines, Websites, Campaigns) now display 25 rows by default (instead of 10).
- We fixed a few more bugs (see below), and a few regressions introduced in 1.7
