<script type="text/javascript">
    (function() {
            function async_load(){
                var s = document.createElement('script');
            var u = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://web-statistics.bfh.ch/" : "http://web-statistics.bfh.ch/");
                s.type = 'text/javascript';
            s.async = true;
                s.src = u+'${FQDN}/tracker.js';
            var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
                x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x);
        }
        window.attachEvent ? window.attachEvent('onload', async_load) : window.addEventListener('load', async_load, false);
        })();
</script>

How to add a new website in Piwik¶

New websites can be setup to be tracked in Piwik by Daniel, Philipp, and Derek as they have the proper permissions to do the following:

• log into Piwik as sysadmin (password in passwords.its.bfh.ch.
• click on Settings / Manage / Websites / Add a new website to add a new website and add it.
• clone piwik.git.
• copy the TEMPLATE directory to your new websites name (beware of the symlinks inside, use cp -a).
• replace @SITE_ID@ with the site id integer you got when you added the website in the Piwik webgui.
• by convention and for consistency we prefix the website name (both in the Piwik webgui and in the configuration repo) with www if the website is reachable with it.
• commit and push the repository.
• enable the tracking codes in your html.
