Only integer values are allowed for Site ID.
I need to integrate Matomo with a particular account. The account contains a site ID with alphanumeric values.
See, for example, the ProtectTrackID plugin.
Matomo Drupal module allows only integer values for Site ID. The Matomo form settings contains a validation for Site ID field.
I created a patch to solve the problem. The patch adds a field to bypass Matomo settings validation. This field allow to skip the validation for the site ID field.

grimreaperHello,
In this case, I am more in favor of removing the site ID validation rather than introducing a new setting to bypass it.

pfrenssenHow can a site ID be anything but an integer? Are you using a modified Matomo instance? According to the Matomo API the site ID is always an integer.

pfrenssenIn the Matomo database model the site ID is defined as an unsigned integer, ref. https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/blob/4.x-dev/core/Db/Schema/Mysql.p... - and this has been unchanged since the days when it was still called Piwik, ref. https://gitlab.com/piwik/piwik/-/blob/master/core/Db/Schema/Mysql.php#L75
If you are using a hacked Matomo / Piwik instance which has a modified database scheme, then I would suggest that you implement a
hook_form_alter()to match your customized instance.Comment #6
grimreaperThanks @pfrenssen for the investigations!
Closing.
@marco.aresu, feel free to reopen if you can explain how you have a site ID with other characters than integers.

davide.porrovecchio commentedHello,
if a Matomo instance is using the ProtectTrackID plugin the idsite parameter can be a generic string.
I think this is a valid use case to consider for this issue.

marco.aresu commentedThe Agid Web Analytics Italia use Matomo. The italian agency generate a site ID with alphanumeric values.

grimreaperThanks @davide.porrovecchio for pointing to the Matomo community module.
Now I understand the need.
Please review the created MR.
@pfrenssen: will this have an impact in the Matomo ecosystem modules you maintain?
