Plugin parameters

After installing the plugin, in the new settings form we must enter the parameters for our Matomo project.

  • Matomo Host: The name of our host in matomo,
    ex: mysite

  • Matomo Site: The name of our site in matomo,
    ex: www.mysite.com

  • Matomo Site ID: The id of our site in matomo,
    ex: 1

Then for each model, we'll have the following fields:

  • [DATOCMS MODEL] URL Pattern: The pattern used to construct the Matomo URL for the specified model,
    ex: index.php?module=CoreHome&action=index&idSite=1&period=day&date=yesterday#?idSite=1&period=year&date=2022-02-07&segment=&category=General_Actions&subcategory=General_Pages&popover=RowAction$3ATransitions$3Aurl$3Ahttps$3A$2F$2F

  • [DATOCMS MODEL] Slug Field: The field of the specified model that will be used as slug,
    ex: First Name

The combination of the 5 parameters will be later used by the plugin to create a link.
