Hi Frank There should only be one GA tag, and unless really required by your implementation(which in my estiamtion is pretty rare) the norm is to ave the load rule fire on all pages. To control when the metric is sent to GA, you control when the variable feeding the metric in the tag is populated. You can do this by using the conditions in the extentsion to only populate with the value your want when you want. So if you put a condition to only populate when that page appears (you can use url, or any of the data object vars you specified in your data object implemenation, or to be frank any set of conditions thatt match the circumstance), that should acheive what you want.

I wonder if you are thinking GTM when you say data layer. In tealium there is a differnce. What we think of in GTM as data layer is in fact teh data object or UDO in Tealium. The data layer is then the resulting var set from any extentison run through utag.js and is where you then plug the vars into tags from.

Hi Sam ye, This is more to do with gtag.js then Tealium, some of the ecommerce actions in gtag.js also push pre-defined Event Action, Event Category for those actions. Reference here. I presume it is part of some GA features yet to be released. We stuck with those and are adding our own where we require... I suggest if you wish to send events for certain ecomm actions using your own action and category, is simply to trigger a new utag.link. That will then trigger two events - one with the ecomm settings, the other with yours. Hope that helps.

GavinAttard · ‎02-05-2019

Ah, The way to implement 2 is using a Custom JS extention. $("[id='some id']").on('submit', function(e) { utag.link ({ event_name : "some_event", another_var : "another value" }); }); In this example i am waiting for a form submit which will then trigger a utag.link and i can pass whatever vars i need to.

GavinAttard · ‎01-31-2019

We are re-platforming and our devs brought this to my attention in the last week. Indeed this is an alarming development.

GavinAttard · ‎01-31-2019

I think ther are two ways to resolve this. If your developers are creating a datalayer, i woudl recommend setting this the UDO as per implementaiton guidelines. Otherwise, if you can access the vars in the data layer (and you can..) then all you need to do is setup an extention in Teallium to trigger a utag.link whcih will allow you to read or pass those vars again. i think... :-)

GavinAttard · ‎01-31-2019

Thanks for the insight @UnknownJ - bizarre to use colours that way.

GavinAttard · ‎01-30-2019

@Tealium - tumbleweed...

GavinAttard · ‎01-28-2019

I get different colours here, what to they mean?

GavinAttard · ‎01-22-2019

without seeing the specifics would check the following: is there any conditions on the extension that would inhibit its running are the query headers the same in each instance that are being pulled to the cookie? on an aside, i prefer dropping cookies using js extentions - gives more control

Hi All So i am looking at implemeting the google ads call tracking, which is not native to the current conversion adn remarketing tag. The code for this uses a call back function to fetch on a gtag api call, which receives a forwarding number then uses an element id to replace the number on site. <script type="text/javascript"> var callback = function(formatted_number, mobile_number) { // formatted_number: number to display, in the same format as // 'phone_conversion_number'. // (in this case, '1-800-123-4567') // mobile_number: number formatted for use in a clickable link // with tel:-URI (in this case, '+18001234567') var e = document.getElementById("number"); e.innerHTML = ""; e.appendChild(document.createTextNode(formatted_number)); }; gtag('config', 'AW-CONVERSION_ID/CONVERSION_LABEL', { 'phone_conversion_number': '1-800-123-4567', 'phone_conversion_callback': callback }); </script> Besides a DOM insjection (which i suspect won't work, due to the global tag potentially not having been called). Are there any other ideas as to the best way to do this? thanks Gavin

GavinAttard · ‎12-05-2018

Hi @PatrickHegnauer Yes indeed, however crucially the 'conversion' event is not there. Here is my finding as to why that is Thanks Gavin

GavinAttard · ‎12-05-2018

Thanks Finally did the migration over to gtag.js however there is no OOB functionality to do this. Any other suggestions? kr

GavinAttard · ‎12-04-2018

Right so i had a digg into the tag template and as suspected the conversion event is triggred by the presence/population of the conversion_label. So far so good, so why isn't it firing... Well the source of frustration is line 23. u.ev = {"view" : 1, }; For some reason, like other tags, it comes without the link event as default. A short update later u.ev = {"view" : 1, "link": 1}; and events are firing. That's 3 hours of frustation for something that should have either been defaulted or documented somewhere... Also, i'm ever so slightly miffed as to why the gtag.sj implementation for adwords would not follow the same logic as the google analytics gtag.js where events can be triggered by specific variable values Thanks Gavin

GavinAttard · ‎12-04-2018

@Tealium The adwords gtag does not contain an event trigger in the mappings for 'conversion' tracking. Is this correct? How do you trigger the conversion tracking event? Thanks Gavin

GavinAttard · ‎12-04-2018

Hi @ksugam Can i ask if you used the mapping to create the event trigger for 'conversion' it seems the most obvious place, however i don't see the 'conversion' event in my list. thanks

GavinAttard · ‎11-26-2018

I'm not quite sure i got your question, but if what you are asking is, can you track if the products in bought in a single transactison came from use of a filter or not, the short answer is yes, but...

GavinAttard · ‎11-26-2018

Hi @eclark There are two ways: As you pointed out, the value can me made visible in the UDO on each page and used when requried. This will require your devs to make this happen. If on the other hand, the former is no possible, then you can 'persist' a value to subsequent pages. There is an extention ready made to do this, and all it does is drop a cookie, which you can then pick up when you need... Hope that helps. Gavin

GavinAttard · ‎11-26-2018

Ok Folks, so i think i figured this out. It appears that Tealium Dev, missed the checkout_step in the 'checkout_progress' event. So added this into the tag template and it works a charm. Also note, for anyone migrating to gtag.js, that firing the 'begin_checkout' event autoamtically sets checkout_step = 1.

GavinAttard · ‎11-26-2018

HI Is anyone else having issues passing the checkout step into GA using gtag? I can't seem to get this to work... kr

GavinAttard · ‎11-26-2018

HI Folks Can someone from Tealium please clarfiy this. I'm currently undertaking some work to migrate over toe gtag for GA. Will this work in tandem with the adwords gtag? kr

Hi Folks When i inherit a profile from a library, new extentions are placed at the bottom. Can someone confirm if the order of operations in the library is mainted in the child profile, even though the extentions show up in a differnet posistion? kr

GavinAttard · ‎08-31-2018

Hi Folks I have a request to inject the all tracking code from Adwords. However i am a bit miffed as to how to acheive this via tealium (failry easy using GTM)... Any ideas? <script> gtag('config', 'AW-xxxxxxxx/CGBrCOX-kogBEOvE28cD', { 'phone_conversion_number': '111-222-333' }); </script>

GavinAttard · ‎05-09-2018

Hi Folks So, Thanks to @nathan_fleming it was confirmed that the issue the kick fire variables where not beign passed to GA was due to a race condition. The solution to this was to create another extention that generated a utag.link event tied specfically to the GA tag UID. A delay of one second was also put on the utag.link function so as to ensure the api call was complete and the variables populated. So, kickfire API calls as Pre-loader, then a second extention like the below. setTimeout(function(){utag.link({ ga_event_action : "cd_upload", ga_event_category : "data_load", ga_event_label : "non_interactive", ga_non_interaction : true, kf_name : utag_data['kf_name'], kf_employees : utag_data['kf_employees'], kf_revenue : utag_data['kf_revenue'], kf_sic_code : utag_data['kf_sic_code'], kf_naics_code : utag_data['kf_naics_code'] }, function() { utag.DB("Firing KickFire event"); }, [15] Not sure if this is the best way to deal with this, so open to any other suggestions on how to best handle this.
