How to track defined user
I like to track defined user inside database when it is logged in. How to set this?
If I do not have defined users, how to track visitor by cookie as cookie is defined and I like to see visitors path by cookie. Is this possible?

Yes you can track usernames or anything else you want with a user who is logged in. You can read more here:
https://secure.getclicky.com/help/customization#session
Basically, you just create a single javascript variable that contains their username or other details. PHP example:
if( isset( $_SESSION['username'] )) {
echo "
<script>
var clicky_custom = {};
clicky_custom.username = '".$_SESSION['username']."'
</script>";
}
That would need to go *above* the tracking code on your page.

Forgot to add a semi-color at the end of the clicky_custom.username line - it's not required but it's sloppy to not have it. Anyways, that should give you an idea.

Thank you.
1. What if I have cookie based website and not usernames in this moment?
2. Is correct to put under body tag?
3. Will script ECHO?
echo "

Darn, I noticed another error in my example code. It's not "clicky_custom.username = {..}", it should be this:
clicky_custom.session = { username: '...' }
You can do it with cookies too... if( $_COOKIE['whatever'] ) ...
It can go anywhere in your code as long it's before our normal tracking code.
Not sure what you mean about the echo.

Is this built into the wordpress plugins at all?
