Custom Tag - passing a custom var (and mapping)

[redfuel318]

Hi Tealiumeers,

Looking for some help with a custom tag implementation in my system. Tag loads an external JS (which is loading fine) but the external JS expects a custom array which contains the important information from the tag fire (account IDs, order IDs, etc.). 

Usually mapping is a breeze, but due to the need to edit the custom template it's thrown me for a loop. Anyone have a clue? In the partner's UI I can see their tag fire and be recorded, but the affiliate, order, sub id are blank every time.

Thanks!

fs_aff_Source = Affiliate ID or Affiliate Name
fs_s_id = Sub ID (if your affiliates are networks)
fs_order_id = Your internal order ID

<!-- Fraudshield Tracking Code - Economist -->
<script>
var fsPassedParameters = {
"fs_aff_source": "REPLACE_ME_WITH_AFFILIATE",
"fs_s_id": "REPLACE_ME_WITH_SUB_ID",
"fs_order_id": "REPLACE_ME_WITH_ORDER_ID",
"fs_product_id": "Your company"
}
</script>

<script src="https://fraudshield.frb.io/api/tracker/[custom hash hidden]/conversions.js"></script>
<!-- Fraudshield Tracking Code End -->

If you can post your custom tag code, I can review it and provide some suggestions.

Thanks,

This is my latest attempt to get the variables to map from a JS extension, as someone else seemed to get working in another post:

Tealium Custom Container Notes:
- Add sending code between "Start Tag Sending Code" and "End Tag Sending Code".
- Add JavaScript tag library code between "Start Tag Library Code" and "End Tag Library Code".
- Add JavaScript code only, do not add HTML code in this file.
- Remove any <script> and </script> tags from the code you place in this file.

Loading external JavaScript files (Loader):
- If you need to load an additional external JavaScript file, un-comment the singe-line JavaScript comments ("//") within the following Loader sections near the bottom of this file:
- "Start Loader Function Call"
- "End Loader Function Call"
- "Start Loader Callback Function"
- "End Loader Callback Function"
- After un-commenting, insert the path to the external JavaScript file you want to load.
- Finally, within the Loader callback function, insert the JavaScript code that should run after the external JavaScript file has loaded.

@redfuel318

Let me know if the attached file works for you.

You should be able to map directly to "fs_aff_source", "fs_s_id", "fs_order_id", and "fs_product_id" using the mapping toolbox.

Let me know if you have any questions about how this is set up.

Thanks,

Adam

Works! Thanks so much! Now to solve the other issues..............!
