google analytics on mvc structured site

Question

I would like to use ga for my php mvc website.

Suppose I put the code in the controller for the index page:

This means it will be triggered whenever a user goes into the index but I will have no way to determine if the user is logged in or not, right?

Because normally, if I get to a login based website the home page usually serves as the welcome screen and, in case you are logged in, as the main page for it.

How can I avoid this? I thought I could use GET parameters in the URLs so that I can see the difference between logged in / not logged in but, it looks a bit hackish.

Thanks in advance.

You can use your Custom Variables - Web Tracking (ga.js)

You can also use the Event Tracking - Web Tracking (ga.js)

You have to read the full documentation of the Google Analytic API . They have provided many ways for tracking. Also read the Google Analytic Reporting API and Data Integration.
