[Piwik-hackers] Writing to Visits table

[mikael letang]

Hi Chris

I received your plugin code - but won t probably be able to look at it
before this week-end

Firebug is a Firefox plugin you can find here: http://getfirebug.com/

Once installed, you ll see a small icon in the bottom right side of your
browser. When you browse the website your are monitoring (in which you put
the js code), if you click on this icon and then on the "Net" tab, you see
all the requests (including the call made by the piwik js) and their
responses. (firebug gives loads of other functionalities by the way)
So if there are errors returned by the piwik call you ll be able to see it.

Besides other things I could think of:
- you must have enabled the plugin in the Piwik adminitration console (so
that the install function get run, and the column get installed)
- to ease your test, you can specify the min duration between two visits.
(if you visit twice the same page from the same machine/ browser within this
minimum duration, it won t actually log the second  visit)
By default this value is set to 30 min, which is not very convenient for
testing.
You need to change VISIT_STANDARD_LENGTH to a small value (like 1) in
modules/LogStats.php

Hope this help, let me know if you have further questions

Mikael
