Triggered directly before controller actions are dispatched. This event exists for convenience and is triggered directly after the Request.dispatch event is triggered.

It can be used to do the same things as the Request.dispatch event, but for one controller action only. Using this event will result in a little less code than Request.dispatch.

Callback Signature:

function(&$parameters)
  • array &$parameters The arguments passed to the controller action.

Callback Signature:

function(&$result, $parameters)
  • mixed &$result The result of the controller action.

  • array $parameters The arguments passed to the controller action.

Controller.triggerAdminNotifications

You can use it for example when you have a plugin that needs to be configured in order to work and the plugin has not been configured yet. It can be also used to cancel / remove other notifications by calling eg Notification\Manager::cancel($notificationId).

Example

public function onTriggerAdminNotifications(Piwik\Widget\WidgetsList $list)
{
    if ($pluginFooIsNotConfigured) {
         $notification = new Notification('The plugin foo has not been configured yet');
         $notification->context = Notification::CONTEXT_WARNING;
         Notification\Manager::notify('fooNotConfigured', $notification);

Db.getActionReferenceColumnsByTable

Defined in Piwik/Plugin/Dimension/DimensionMetadataProvider in line 94

Triggered when detecting which log_action entries to keep. Any log tables that use the log_action table to reference text via an ID should add their table info so no actions that are still in use will be accidentally deleted. Example

Piwik::addAction('Db.getActionReferenceColumnsByTable', function(&$result) {
    $tableNameUnprefixed = 'log_example';

PrivacyManager.deleteDataSubjects

Defined in Piwik/Plugins/PrivacyManager/Model/DataSubjects in line 119

Lets you delete data subjects to make your plugin GDPR compliant. This can be useful if you have developed a plugin which stores any data for visits but doesn't use any core logic to store this data. If core API's are used, for example log tables, then the data may be deleted automatically.

Example

public function deleteDataSubjects(&$result, $visitsToDelete)
{
    $numDeletes = $this->deleteVisits($visitsToDelete)
    $result['myplugin'] = $numDeletes;
}

Callback Signature:

function(&$results, $visits]

}

Callback Signature:

function($dateUpperLimit, $deleteLogsOlderThan)

PrivacyManager.exportDataSubjects

Defined in Piwik/Plugins/PrivacyManager/Model/DataSubjects in line 459

Lets you enrich the data export for one or multiple data subjects to make your plugin GDPR compliant. This can be useful if you have developed a plugin which stores any data for visits but doesn't use any core logic to store this data. If core API's are used, for example log tables, then the data may be exported automatically.

Example

public function exportDataSubjects(&export, $visitsToExport)
{
    $export['myplugin'] = array();
    foreach($visitsToExport as $visit) {
         $export['myplugin'][] = 'exported data';
    }

Report.addReports

Defined in Piwik/Plugin/ReportsProvider in line 142

Triggered to add new reports that cannot be picked up automatically by the platform. This is useful if the plugin allows a user to create reports / dimensions dynamically.
