Adding fireing rules for extensions

[mikeg]

Hi Dev-Team,

In comparsion to Google Tag Manager we think It would be a great improvement to have fireing rules for extensions be implemented instead of repeatedly inserting manual code in each extension. Though, we would like to suggest:

To be able to schedule fireing of extensions on certain conditions, e.g. DOM-Complete or custom conditions, by haveing fireing rules for extensions be implemented. As follows two examples:

1. Broken images
   Sub-resources are loaded after DOM Ready which is already implemented as a default scope. Though, we think scope is kind of mis-interpreted at this position since DOM Ready is more related to a condition.
   document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function domComplete(event) {return "true";});
   
2. Fire extension on DEV/QA Environment
   To prevent acidential publishing of extension a fireing condition should be available to execute extensions on certain conditions. As follows a code which check for DEV/QA
   window.is_not_Prod = ((function(a) {if(utag.cfg.path.indexOf("prod") <= 0) return true})()) ? 'true' : 'false';

Is it possible to add custom load rules for extensions as Googel Tag Manager provides them?

Kind regards

Mike

Hi folks,

as some expressed their interrest in being able to schedule the execution of extensions here is a new one. It checks if it's the start of the session and executes whatever you like:

if (document.cookie.indexOf("$_ss:1") >= 0) {//Magic comes here}

I used this to send an GA Event with the UTAG Version (utag.cfg.v) number as we recognized that deprecated scripts are still being served quite a long time (cache issues?). more about utag_main cookie values are documented here.

Cheers

Mike
