Install it via Piwik Marketplace and configure plugin.
- Download whole repository as ZIP.
- Go to your piwik Administration => Marketplace and click on "upload a plugin in .zip format."

If you did everything correct and you have sufficient permissions on folder plugins, Snoopy should be successfully installed.
Now all you need to do is to set your configuration and create a cron that calculates visitors scores.
Before Snoopy starts scoring visitors you first have to tweak some configuration to match your needs.
-
Matching site: You have to select for which site your Snoopy scores visitors. For now only one website property tracking is available.
-
Matching goal: Snoopy will start scoring only when specific goal is achieved. You can choose one or more goals as entry point to start .ing.
-
Cooling factor: Cooling factor is number that tells you how fast visitors will loose their score.
Here is example simulation for factor 1.1
| Number of inactive days | Current penalty | Penalty since beginning | Visitor scores |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | |||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 99 |
| 2 | 1.1 | 2.1 | 97.9 |
| 3 | 1.21 | 3.31 | 96.69 |
| 4 | 1.331 | 4.641 | 95.359 |
| 5 | 1.4641 | 6.1051 | 93.8949 |
| 6 | 1.61051 | 7.71561 | 92.28439 |
| 7 | 1.771561 | 9.487171 | 90.512829 |
| 8 | 1.9487171 | 11.4358881 | 88.5641119 |
| 9 | 2.14358881 | 13.57947691 | 86.42052309 |
| 10 | 2.357947691 | 15.9374246 | 84.0625754 |
From the table you can see that on first inactive day you loose 1 point, on the second inactive day you loose 1factor point on third inactive day you loose second_dayfactor point etc.
