• How to sell Piwik services without any confusion ?

  10 octobre 2017, par InnoCraft — Plugins

  As you may know, Piwik is a Free software under the GPL license which guarantees you :

  • The freedom to run the program for any purpose.
  • The freedom to study how it works and change it.
  • The freedom to improve the program, and release your changes.
  • The freedom to redistribute it under the GPL license, and to sell it if you wish.

  In this article we will focus on the Free aspect of Piwik, which is how to rebrand Piwik, how to offer your clients a better experience, and possibly how to make a profit from it ?

  How to sell Piwik services as an agency ?

  As a web analytics software, Piwik is often installed by web agencies when it comes to designing a brand new website for a given customer.
  Most of the time agencies are using Piwik for the following reasons :

  • free of charge
  • data ownership
  • user privacy compliance
  • feature rich while easy to use
  • open source

  Most of the agencies are charging their customers for the installation process, tracking code implementation, analysing reports to get insights about users… but do you know that you could also sell the software as your own brand ? This is where the “White Label” plugin, developed by the InnoCraft company, comes into play.

  White labelling for Piwik

  Creating a “white label” plugin came into the mind of InnoCraft founders when they realized that on any modern Piwik installation, the following components were visible :

  • Piwik branded widgets within the dashboards
  • Piwik marketplace plugin teasers on the admin page
  • Piwik help and support pages
  • the “Piwik” word in general
  • Piwik Mobile app banners

  

  Example of Piwik branded widgets

  In order to remove all those mentions of Piwik and to start selling this web analytics under your own name, you can either hack Piwik on your own (it is going to take you some precious time and money) or have a look at the White Label plugin on the marketplace where InnoCraft has solved all the challenges already for you.

  The White Label plugin is straightforward. Once downloaded and installed, you will have access to a dedicated interface where you will be able to change the Piwik name by a new custom brand of your choice :

  Once you click Save, all “Piwik” mentions will be substituted by your company name/service :

  

  Here the Piwik version is changed by the name of the company

  How to make your installation even more customized ?

  Few Piwik users know about this trick, but since 2014 the Piwik templates can be customized through Themes. You are free to design your own template, installing existing ones, or even monetize them through the marketplace :

  If you want to know how you can tweak your existing template and make it match your brand and image, just follow our theme documentation. A simple theme with your colors can be built in a few minutes simply by defining different color codes. You can also browse the public themes on the Marketplace.

• How to get your Piwik plugin translated in many languages ?

  8 septembre 2015, par Stefan Giehl — Community, Development, Plugins

  About a year ago we introduced the Piwik Marketplace to make it easy for developers to share their plugins with all Piwik users.

  As Piwik is currently available in 54 languages we would love to have as many plugins as possible available in at least a few of those languages.

  Currently most plugins on the Marketplace are only available in English and sometimes some other languages. To improve this situation, we offer plugin developers the possibility to use the power of our translators community to get their plugins translated.

  Some plugin developers are already using this service and some very popular plugins like BotTracker or CustomOptOut have already been translated in more than 10 languages !

  Getting translations for your plugin

  As long as you are developing an open source plugin hosted on Github, you may get in touch with us (translations@piwik.org) in order to get your plugin translated by the Piwik translators community.

  You will need an account on Transifex.com. If you use Transifex with a social login, please ensure to set a password in your account settings. This will be required for fetching new translations into your plugin repository.

  Importing your plugin’s strings in the translation platform

  While doing the initial setup for your plugin, we will import your english translation file (en.json) in your Github plugin repository and we will configure an auto-update for this file. Source strings on Transifex will automatically synchronise with your plugin repository. When you change any string in your en.json translation file, the updated English strings will automatically be imported in Transifex.

  How to fetch your plugins translations into your repository

  As soon as we have set up your plugin within our Piwik project on Transifex and there are new translations available, you will be able to update your plugin translations using the Piwik console. You will need a locally installed Piwik with development mode enabled, and your plugin installed. To update the translations go to the Piwik directory on your development box and execute the following command :

  ./console translations:update -u {YourTransifexUserName} -p {YourTransifexPassword} -P {YourPluginName}

  We are looking forward to seeing your Piwik plugins available in more languages ! For more information, check out our Translations plugin developer guide.

  Happy hacking,

• Is it possible to pregenerate m3u8 file ? (the playlist only) and skip the transcoding ?

  30 mai 2024, par Jonathan Lightbringer

  I am trying to create a media server, and only want to transcode video when it's played. However I need the playlist in advance so that the client play can load the video metadata. Is this possible ?

  


  I want to do something like this :

  


  Client -> GET m3u8 (pregenerated in advance)
Client -> GET ts -> Transcode only this single ts file
Client -> GET ts -> Transcode only this single ts file
Client -> GET ts -> Transcode only this single ts file


  


  I don't want to transcode the entire video at once, I want to be able to only transcode the part that is requested.

  


  Is this possible ? Also open to using MPEG-DASH instead if needed.
