Plugin to exclude / include only some Urls parameter

[anonymous-matomo-user]

This might be solved for the time being with a small plugin. To discuss: alexander dot schwartz at gmx dot net. This has hardcoded cleaning for sessions.

I still like the idea of possibly doing the tidying in piwik.js (see #519).

In #1023, the user appears to propagate/persist the campaign parameters in the URL.

In conjunction with #79, we could have an option to filter all campaign parameters.

While exluding params as a whole is required for session params, I could also see a drill down behaviour for certain parameters (like it's already done with sites and folders in Actions/Pages).

First, I get a total of all hits, and on click these hits are splitted based on parameter value.

Example:

/index.php -> 6 pageviews

After drill down:

/index.php?message=logout -> 5 pageviews

/index.php?message=invalid-credentials -> 1 pageview

This is perfectly possible for only one parameter, but get's tricky (at least UI-wise) with more params.

Also, the page providing this feature could have an option "Record all page names as lowercase to avoid duplicated page names with or without capital letters"

(if you have a better wording please suggest)

[robocoder]

From #1180, add ability to filter out the anchor/fragment after the hashmark.

(In [2023]) Fixes #5461 Adding URL Query parameters exclude setting, per website, and global. We also by default exclude sessionid, phpsessid, etc.
The query parameters are excluded case insensitive.

[mattab]

(In [2024]) Refs #5461 The url shouldn't be htmlspecialchared

Also fixing notice when triggering a goal manually (piwik.trackGoal(goalId)) where the location_ip used to get the country, wasn't set for a known visitor

[robocoder]

There's a typo in the 0.6 update script. excluded_parameters should be added to the table after excluded_ips is added.

(In [2037]) fixes #5461 - re-order schema change (dependencies)

[robocoder]

(In [2193])
refs #5461, refs #1347 - regenerate cache files
