When clicking on a row (Custom var name) Piwik mobile would show a subtable with values (custom var values)
Requested in: http://forum.piwik.org/read.php?2,76375

Piwik Mobile requirements:

  • Is Piwik Mobile already able to display a subtable in the same screen?
  • Or would Piwik Mobile reload the screen to display only the Custom var values after clicking on a Custom var name?
    In this case, the "swipe / back" gesture would come back to the previous "Custom variable names" report.

Both solutions would be fine IMO... whatever is easiest/best could be done?

There are also "Piwik core" requirements to make this feature work:

  • Piwik Metadata API also returns which API to call when a row is clicked eg. CustomVariables.getCustomVariablesValuesFromNameId

  • Piwik metadata should support the API call CustomVariables.getCustomVariablesValuesFromNameId currently unsupported

    Then piwik mobile would call metadata API for this API method which would return the whole report for the row clicked, as a standard Piwik report

Any feedback please post a comment!

I'd like to work on this feature. Also want to display a subtable for pages. For example clicking on '/support' opens '/support/contact', '/support/faq', ...

Therefore the api has to return which API to call when a row is clicked (as you mentioned) and maybe which parameter to pass.

Moving to Piwik core so that we hopefully get going in the next 2 months on this :)

Thanks Benaka for your work on this and unblocking Thomas to continue improving Piwik Mobile, to display the very useful sub-table analytics data!

Excellent !! Users will love this... such an important feature and will expose critical data in the mobile app. Kuddos Thomas and Benaka :)

Some questions;

  • do you leave the parent table visible and display the subtable - or do you only display the subtable in a new window?
  • Thomas would you mind posting some screenshots of the feature?

Sure! I'll add some screenshots. You'll notice that the screenshot of the subtable don't display a "websites selector". This is because the subtable report won't exist in another website. Therefore it makes no sense to be able to switch the website there. It would result in an error.

I don't leave the parent table visible but instead open a new window to display the subtable. Everything else would be really tricky / hard to implement with Titanium. In addition it has some advantages to do it this way. Users can view the graph, change date/metric, better readable, if a subtable had subtables it would be possible to open even those :) I think it's also more "mobile-like"

Good, on the "Back" button when viewing the subtable, could you write the
name of the parent report ie. "Custom Variables" instead of "Back" on the
button?

I had wrote the name of the parent report ie "Custom Variables" instead of "Back" in a first version and then replaced it with "Back". There is often not enough space on a mobile device. Shall I do it though? It definitely makes sense on the iPad, not sure for iPhone. Maybe it is indeed better to have a shortened title instead of only "Back". I'll attach another screenshot.

I thought about it... I think it's definitely better to write the name of the parent report instead of "Back".

Definitely, however, can you please split 2 words on 2 lines as it would look much better and use less width!

tsteur commented Sep 6, 2012

It's not possible to split text into multiple lines in header. Multiple lines are not supported by Titanium there and I'm pretty sure also not by iOS. It's also not possible to specify the width or height of the back button.

Ok thanks for confirming - it's nice as it is.
