Problem after upgrading to Joomla 5

Paolo G

Hi,

After upgrading a site from Joomla 4 to Joomla 5, I had to exclude the js files on the CDN because there was an error in Matomo's tracking.

Without the CDN, the tracking code is this:

<!-- Matomo -->
<script>
  var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || [];
  
  // Add the Heartbeat Timer for accurate time spent tracking
  _paq.push(['enableHeartBeatTimer']);
  
  /* tracker methods like "setCustomDimension" should be called before "trackPageView" */
  _paq.push(["setDomains", ["*.www.domain.com","*.domain.com"]]);
  _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
  _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
  
  (function() {
    var u="https://stats.supporthost.com/";
    _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'matomo.php']);
    _paq.push(['setSiteId', '155']);
    var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    g.async=true; g.src=u+'matomo.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
  })();
</script>
<noscript><p><img src="https://stats.supporthost.com/matomo.php?idsite=155&amp;rec=1" style="border:0;" alt="" /></p></noscript>
<!-- End Matomo Code -->

With CDN, the code is this:

<!-- Matomo -->
<script>
  var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || [];
  
  // Add the Heartbeat Timer for accurate time spent tracking
  _paq.push(['enableHeartBeatTimer']);
  
  /* tracker methods like "setCustomDimension" should be called before "trackPageView" */
  _paq.push(["setDomains", ["*.www.domain.com","*.domain.com"]]);
  _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
  _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
  
  (function() {
    var u="https://stats.supporthost.com/";
    _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'matomo.php']);
    _paq.push(['setSiteId', '155']);
    var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    g.async=true; g.src=u+'https://domain-8806.kxcdn.com/matomo.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
  })();
</script>
<noscript><p><img src="https://stats.supporthost.com/matomo.php?idsite=155&amp;rec=1" style="border:0;" alt="" /></p></noscript>
<!-- End Matomo Code -->

You can see how g.async=true; g.src=u+'matomo.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s); is changed to g.async=true; g.src=u+' domain-8806.kxcdn.com/matomo.js '; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);, but it is not present in the CDN: is this normal behavior?

On the other sites, where I use JCH to serve the CDN, the problem did not appear after the Joomla update.

Thank you
