Clicky -- traffic analysis
==========================
Clicky_ is an online web analytics tool. It is similar to Google
Analytics in that it provides statistics on who is visiting your website
and what they are doing. Clicky provides its data in real time and is
designed to be very easy to use.
.. _Clicky: http://getclicky.com/
.. clicky-template-tag:
Installation
============
You only need to do perform these steps if you are not using the
generic :ttag:`analytical.*` tags. If you are, skip to
:ref:`clicky-configuration`.
In order to use the template tag, you need to add
:mod:`analytical.clicky` to the installed applications list in the
project :file:`settings.py` file::
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'analytical.clicky',
...
]
The Clicky tracking code is inserted into templates using a template
tag. Load the :mod:`clicky` template tag library and insert the
:ttag:`clicky` tag. Because every page that you want to track must
have the tag, it is useful to add it to your base template. Insert
the tag at the bottom of the HTML body::
{% load clicky %}
...
{% clicky %}
</body>
</html>
.. _clicky-configuration:
Configuration
=============
Before you can use the Clicky integration, you must first set your
website Site ID. You can also customize the data that Clicky tracks.
.. _clicky-site-id:
The Site ID
-----------
Every website you track with Clicky gets its own Site ID, and the
:ttag:`clicky` tag will include it in the rendered Javascript code.
You can find the Site ID in the *Info* tab of the website *Preferences*
page, in your Clicky account. Set :const:`CLICKY_SITE_ID` in the
project :file:`settings.py` file::
CLICKY_SITE_ID = '12345678'
If you do not set a Site ID, the tracking code will not be rendered.
Often you do not want to track clicks from your development or internal
IP addresses. By default, if the tag detects that the client comes from
any address in the :const:`INTERNAL_IPS` setting, the tracking code is
commented out. See :const:`ANALYTICAL_INTERNAL_IPS` for important
information about detecting the visitor IP address.
.. _clicky-custom-data:
Custom data
-----------
As described in the Clicky `customized tracking`_ documentation page,
the data that is tracked by Clicky can be customized by setting the
:data:`clicky_custom` Javascript variable before loading the tracking
code. Using template context variables, you can let the :ttag:`clicky`
tag pass custom data to Clicky automatically. You can set the context
variables in your view when your render a template containing the
tracking code::
context = RequestContext({'clicky_title': 'A better page title'})
return some_template.render(context)
It is annoying to do this for every view, so you may want to set custom
properties in a context processor that you add to the
:data:`TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` list in :file:`settings.py`::
def clicky_global_properties(request):
return {'clicky_timeout': 10}
Just remember that if you set the same context variable in the
:class:`~django.template.context.RequestContext` constructor and in a
context processor, the latter clobbers the former.
Here is a table with the most important variables. All variable listed
on the `customized tracking`_ documentation page can be set by replacing
``clicky_custom.`` with ``clicky_``.
================ =============== =====================================
Context variable Clicky property Description
================ =============== =====================================
clicky_session session_ Session data. A dictionary
containing ``username`` and/or
``group`` keys.
---------------- --------------- -------------------------------------
clicky_goal goal_ A succeeded goal. A dictionary
containing ``id`` and ``revenue``
keys.
---------------- --------------- -------------------------------------
clicky_href href_ The URL as tracked by Clicky. Default
is the page URL.
---------------- --------------- -------------------------------------
clicky_title title_ The page title as tracked by Clicky.
Default is the HTML title.
================ =============== =====================================
.. _`customized tracking`: http://getclicky.com/help/customization
.. _session: http://getclicky.com/help/customization#goal
.. _goal: http://getclicky.com/help/customization#goal
.. _href: http://getclicky.com/help/customization#href
.. _title: http://getclicky.com/help/customization#title
By default, the username of an authenticated user is passed to Clicky
automatically in the ``session.username`` property, unless that property
was set explicitly. See :data:`ANALYTICAL_AUTO_IDENTIFY`.

Thanks go to Clicky for their support with the development of this
application.
