[Piwik-hackers] An idea for actions in Piwik

[Daniel Blanco]

Hi!
I have been thinking it would be nice if actions had both a name and 
URL, so when you track an action, you can make it appear in the table 
with a custom label.
For example, I'm tracking a click in a link that installs a widget in 
NetVibes. The link is something like 
*http://www.netvibes.com/subscribe.php?module=UWA&moduleUrl=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fwidgets%2Ffolder1%2Ffolder2%2Fcontroller.php%2Foutput%2Fnetvibes%2Fwid%2F322
*But showing this to the user is not very nice. If I want to trace the 
outlink like 'NetVives Installation', then it will appear with this name 
in the Outlinks table, and if the user clicks on it, Piwik will try to 
load a page with that "URL". What I propose is to have another column in 
the
log_action table for the URL, so it would be *actionid, name, url, type.*

I think this could open a lot of possibilities for custom usage of 
Piwik, but maybe it would be a lot of work to change this behavior, 
since it's a core functionality of Piwik.

What do you think about this?


Greetings!

Dani
