    The first public beta of WP-Piwik 1.0 is available now.

    Important notes:

    • This beta version is intended for expert users who like to contribute to WP-Piwik by testing.
    • Blog network support is neither tested nor finished in beta 1 (0.10.0.0). A network compatible beta will follow. Use this version with WordPress single sites only!
    • You should not use this beta on your live systems, or you should at least create backups before.
    • The beta comes without an update or an uninstall routine. If a previous WP-Piwik version is installed, you should deactivate and uninstall this first and install 0.10.0.0 like a new plugin.

    Enable logging: Open wp-piwik/config.php and set WP_PIWIK_ACTIVATE_LOGGER to 2. Make sure the folder wp-piwik/log is writable.

    Please post issues related to this beta version in this thread, only. Do not open other threads to avoid beta issues will be mixed up with “normal operation issues”.

    Know issues with beta 1:

    • The settings page is not finalized. All contents are shown without tabs.
    • If the settings page is saved the first time, a reload could be necessary to see the full settings page again (just “Thank you” is shown).
    • The cookie lifetime settings are not shown if lifetime restrictions are activated the first time (and vice versa). After saving the first time, it works as expected.
    • Per post stats (and shortcode) only work using PHP API.

    To do list:

    • It is not possible to click at the date list shown on the stats page yet.
    • Network support is not finished yet.
    • The documentation is not finished yet.
    • Update and uninstall scripts have to be added.

    You can get it here:
    https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/wp-piwik.0.10.0.0.zip

    Next steps:

    • 0.10.0.1 / Beta 2: Solve beta 1 issues. Add network support and date navigation.
    • 0.10.0.2 / Beta 3: Solve beta 2 issues. Add update & install scripts.
    • 0.10.0.3 / Beta 4: Solve beta 3 issues. Finish documentation. Public release.
    • 1.0.0.0: Final release, solve beta 4 issues.

    Thank you for testing! ??

    Please read the important notes related to this beta test:

    Blog network support is neither tested nor finished in beta 1 (0.10.0.0). A network compatible beta will follow. Use this version with WordPress single sites only!

    So please do not use the beta with a blog network.

    (Furthermore, as mentioned above, the beta comes without an update or an uninstall routine. You should uninstall your previous WP-Piwik and setup the beta like a new plugin.)

    Update – Know issues with beta 3:

    • The cookie lifetime settings are not shown if lifetime restrictions are activated (and vice versa). The lifetime settings are applied to the tracking code, but you have to disable, set the values and enable the option again. (Related to the old beta 1 issue.)

    Within the next hours WP-Piwik 0.10.0.3 will be released as a public WP-Piwik update.

    There were no critical issues reported while the last week’s beta test, so I hope the new version will work for all of you.

    If there are occur no new problems, 0.10.0.3 will become WP-Piwik 1.0 after some last optimizations.

    Hi,
    I just updated several wp-piwik instances on my customer’s websites and encounter some issues:

    • After upgrading to 0.10.0.3 all setup information of websites, tracking code etc. is lost and has to be inserted again.
    • On a network instalation I get an internal server error when heading to the settings page.

    I hope these two issues will be solved within the next update.
    Thanks! ??

    Hi,

    thanks for your feedback!

    I will re-check the update script… were the affected websites also network sites or single WordPress blogs?

    Related to your network issue:
    – Can you enable WordPress debugging and check if any error messages occur?
    – Does the error occur on the WP-Piwik settings site only or in all setting sites? Does it also affect other sites where WP-Piwik elements are used (e.g., the admin dashboard containing dashboard widgets)?

    I will try to fix this issue as soon as possible. If you can give me some more information, this will be very helpful. Thanks!

    Is there a good reason for releasing this in beta form?

    Should the userbase be used for a testing ground?

    Well, if I would not release WP-Piwik in beta form, there never had been a WP-Piwik release at all. ?? WP-Piwik was never declared as a finished product. This is also shown by the version number beginning with 0 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning). I even would call all WP-Piwik versions below 0.10.x as alpha versions.

    So from this point of view, there is no difference between 0.10.0.3 and previous releases. Quite the contrary, 0.10.0.3 is the best tested WP-Piwik release ever:

    The release process for 0.9 or earlier was…
    a) Test on my local development machine
    b) Test on several virtual testing environments (e.g., for network testing)
    c) Test on my own live blogs
    d) Release via www.ads-software.com

    0.10.x was intended to prepare the 1.0 release – the first “finished” release of WP-Piwik. Because of the comprehensive changes, the release process was extended for 0.10…
    a) Test on my local development machine
    b) Test on several virtual testing environments
    c) Test on my own live blogs
    d) Single site beta offered via www.ads-software.com (0.10.0.0)
    e) a-c again
    f) Network site beta offered via www.ads-software.com (0.10.0.1)
    g) a-c again
    h) Full feature beta offered via www.ads-software.com (0.10.0.2)
    i) a-c again
    j) Release via www.ads-software.com (0.10.0.3)

    All interested (especially all subscribed) testers (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/100-become-a-beta-tester) had the chance to test .0, .1 and .2. I got no feedback about major issues, so there was no reason to withhold 0.10.0.3.

    But as you see in union-web’s post, even this is no guarantee. There are just too many different configurations to be sure in any case. ?? I’m reliant on the communities feedback to consider all imaginable possibilities.

    I will have a look at all reported 0.10.0.3 issues quickly, so I can deliver fixes with 0.10.0.4 and hopefully deliver a “finished” 1.0 as soon as possible.

    I hope, this helps to understand the 0.10.x release process. Otherwise, feel free to ask. ??

    That’s great news, thankyou!

    I’m getting the following exception as soon as I activate Tracking using 0.10.0.3 in a Network (both in the backend – in the WP-Piwik settings upon apply – and in the frontend – in the footer where the tracking code would usually appear):

    Warning: html_entity_decode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in [...]/wp-content/plugins/wp-piwik/classes/WP_Piwik.php on line 1065

    PS: I also lost all settings and the WP-Piwik network overview reports all pages as not yet created. So it seems like WP-Piwik is unable to determine the page ids.
