Issue Summary

The readme doesn't mention where to find the authentication string. There's no such setting in the piwik users management. Any hints on what to enter there?

You can find this authentication string inside the piwik administration UI... (not the Drupal module). I hope this haven't changed in the latest piwik version, but it was there in past.

I've attached a screen shot my piwik interface. I guess that's the location you a re referring to?
Any hints on where to find that string?
I can however add additional users and i can see their respective authentication strings, but which should I choose and how does the plugin know which user it should use to authenticate against piwik?

I have installed the latest version today and checked out. You are one the right page. Create a user on the bottom and use the token_auth value in the drupal module.

Ups - No it think it's a different value... click in your piwik the "API" link... than you see the auth key... not sure if the other will work... I need to test myself

It still doesn't seem to work (couldn't locate the piwik jscript in the page source), although I've now found the token string thanks to your help. Is there a way to check functionality or diagnose the plugin? Logging or something?
thx

Look inside a node, it is there, but not in the filtered pages like "admin"

I found the error: piwik just didn't work with my custom theme. As soon as I switched back to one of the default themes, everything worked.
Do you have any good guess what might cause this?

My best guess so far is, that the fact that piwik js doesn't show up when my custom theme is enabled, has something to do with drupal_add_js not working correctly. Do I need to modify my theme anyway to deal with this? thx!

I've finally tracked down the error. It was indeed my custom theme. Appending a

<?php
print $closure
?>
to the end of the page.tpl.php file solved it.

cheers!
