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

It is probably due to the system plugin ordering. Try changing the ordering of the plugins in question.
See: regularlabs.com/blog/242-plugin-order-is-important

Hi Peter, thank you.

Actually the order of the plugins was a bit wrong, but even reordering it as follows doesn't help:

System - SEF
System - Regular Labs - CDN for Joomla!
LiteSpeed Cache Plugin

These above are the last plugins on the list, in their order

Best regards

Weird, as there is no difference in code between the Joomla 4 or Joomla 5 version of CDN for Joomla!
It is the same code.

Can you give me (super) admin and (s)ftp access so I can take a look?
And tell me on what url I can see/reproduce the issue.

It certainly is as you say, however this occurred after upgrading from Joomla4 to Joomla 5 and is affecting another site with the same setup. Another site of mine that works with JCH's CDN didn't see the same problem after the update.

I'll send you the accesses, thanks.

Can you also give me (s)ftp access so I can take a deeper look?
