Earlier we announced the release of the Drupal Piwik module, you can see the announcement at "Drupal Piwik module announcement".

This is just a brief introduction to the module, please note the Piwik is beta and this module could therefore be considered alpha


Basically the module provides two functions,

  • its allows you to track visitors to your site in the same way as you do with Google Analytics Module
  • It gives you access to the Piwik reports from within Drupal

In the future it may do other things but we have to see what a production release of Piwik looks like before we commit.

Basically you start by installing the module and enabling it as usual

Once enabled you go to the Piwik analytics settings under Site configuration

  1. Add the link to the Piwik instance you have installed
  2. Add your Piwik site ID
  3. Add the authentication String
  4. Select the roles you want to track


That's it your site is up and running being tracked by Piwik
