User IDs - records

General questions
1

I added the following line in my tracking code:

<?php
// If user is logged-in then call 'setUserId'
// $userId variable must be set by the server when the user has successfully authenticated to your app.
if (isset($userId)) {
     echo sprintf("_paq.push(['setUserId', 'username']);", $userId);
}
?>

But UserID shows no data available. How to proceed with this to get userid data?

Hi,

Just to ask the obvious: You did set the $userId variable to something that is uniquely to this user?
Did you check the source of the website if you can see the _paq.push with the correct username?

Without adding the above script my source of the website shows above userid as “13”. If I log in with another id and password it shows the another user id. But all these are not reflected in my matomo dashboard. Can please suggest solution?

I want to get username. So I get the name ‘username’ from database of moodle.

In my experience there is a lag until the data is shown in this table - check the “visits log” page and the username should be visible here if its working

Thanks for your immediate response. Unable to view in visit log.

I am working in Moodle environment. I want to get the name of user. In database, we can see username in the field of ‘username’. So I added in the [‘setUserId’, ‘username’] Can you please check the following code.

<?php // If user is logged-in then call 'setUserId' // $userId variable must be set by the server when the user has successfully authenticated to your app. if (isset($userId)) { echo sprintf("_paq.push(['setUserId', 'username']);" } ?>

I added this after var _paq = window._paq || [];
