[Piwik-hackers] Question: How to get the actions>pages widget to also display the domain name?

Ok, quick update. I'm a little closer to my goal but not all the way there
yet. I changed
*piwik_action_name = '';
*to
*piwik_action_name = document.location;*
in the piwik javascript code that's inserted into pages.

I managed to get it from showing the following

to showing http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm34/sabin126/Piwik/piwik2.png

I now have the domain name showing up. However, everything under the host
name in the tree structure still contains the host name rather than the part
which appends to it. It makes the user have to roll over each entry to
actually see what page it's talking about. Is there any way to combine the
displaying of the host name with the nice tree structure that truncates off
the text of the parent?

I hope that makes sense. Sometimes I don't know the proper technical
names/terms so if you need more clarification I'll be happy to provide it.
