Hi @propulsion is the utag shown below complete? Usually after the address " tags.tiqcdn.com/utag there is more info such as your account name and TiQ profile. Such as a='//tags.tiqcdn.com/utag/[account]/[profile]/[environment]/utag.js'

Two questions, 1) do you eventually see the expected data in Adobe Analytics reporting and 2) why not use an http proxy debugger like Fiddler or Charles to capture all the http traffic. Some tag 'fires' happen between pages or otherwise so quick they don't show in the network tab due to page refresh, etc.

This is an old thread of course, but it's a perfect candidate for a request I've made in the past: The TiQ CDN should be able to provide at least some level of Geo information and pop it into a value on the data layer. I think I need to request this in the Product Ideas section! :) Thanks -

Hi @Bazhway, I was about to suggest Incognito Mode but figured that was too simple or that you'd already tried it! Too funny! Am glad to have given you an idea. Good to know that's a viable way to pick up a new Visitor ID in a pinch.

I love the art of the Untamed Beast with the light bulb.

Interesting situation @Bazhway, I suppose it's more complicated than just creating some additional test accounts?

Hello @ABK - 1) can you share the URL you're trying to track? So that we may try and help by testing the page ourselves. 2) can you try the debug instructions at this link: https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/JavaScript-utag-js/Debugging-utag-view-and-utag-link/ta-p/13695 Looking forward to your reply -

Hi @hcerus - usually it's closer to what you describe in option 2, but most times a bit simpler. Most recommendations are to fire the Conversion tag only on a Thank You page (completion of whatever action your site wants a customer to take). Networks like Google handle all the conversion counts using cookie matching. When your site visitor clicks a Google ad link to visit your site, Google sets a cookie on the visitor's browser. When the visitor "converts" and reaches your Thank You page, the Conversion tag fires and Google again captures the cookie set previously for that visitor. They are supposed to ignore other instances of the conversion tag. However, some of what you described in your 2nd option should restrict the Conversion tag from firing for visitors who hadn't ever clicked an ad link. Hope this helps a bit - let us know how you ultimately decide to handle it, and I hope others will offer input here as well.

This is a great question, especially since I now see a Google Tag Manager tag in the Add A Tag "gallery" within TiQ. I'm glad to see GTM as an option within TiQ, however I haven't yet found much discussion or documentation around it. (at least little can be found with the search function). Firing GTM within Tealium looks to be a great option for SaaS sites who need to support a customer-provided GTM container. At least that's why I'm interested in this. Hope to stir up some new conversation with my comment here, thanks!

This sounds more like feature request material, @sangmister - it's an interesting idea to have a "canned" custom extension. I'd vote for it. Here's the thread for those: https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Feedback/Feature-requests/m-p/10599/highlight/true#M8 I can't think of another way to go about implementing your idea with the existing toolset.

mitchellt · ‎09-05-2017

Good idea for the Feature Request folder!

mitchellt · ‎09-05-2017

I like this framework... do you leave it in production code as well? If so, then I can see it would speed debugging if an unexpected situation came up. Thanks for posting your working concept @pmeyerdk!

mitchellt · ‎09-05-2017

Hi @zhaque - got to ask... did you specify the report suite id in the Adobe App Measurement tag? Is there a URL/site we can review? I'd recommend debugging the specific utag.XX.js for Adobe App Measurement for your site. You should be able to see the report suite id getting set (or not) and go from there. Please let us know your results....

mitchellt · ‎08-14-2017

Hi @kbridges - take a look at this item, scroll way down to the part about Extensions. See the part about "DoPlugins". https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Tags/Adobe-Analytics-SiteCatalyst-Tag/ta-p/664 Have you scoped your new extension to the Adobe App Measurement tag? I think that's the key item here. That will make your code run when the Adobe tag runs but before the Adobe tracker fires. Be sure to see the docs on debugging https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/iQ-Tag-Management/Video-Basic-Debugging-How-to-Check-Your-Tags/ta-p/14645 and https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/JavaScript-utag-js/Console-Debug-Output/ta-p/14328 Let us know how things go....

mitchellt · ‎08-11-2017

Hi @Sandeepch - take a read through these two posts: https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Tags/Tealium-Generic-Tag-Setup-Guide-for-Tealium-iQ/ta-p/12034 and https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/iQ-Tag-Management/Data-Mappings/ta-p/10645 Also, you'll create your Data Layer variables, then in your extension you will set the values as desired and set the Scope to be the same as the generic tealium tag (be sure to give it a good alias/name meaningful to you in the future). Setting the Scope means that the extension will process together with your generic tag and (hopefully) have the correct values set. Be sure to test in your "Dev/QA" environment and check your results in the browser inspector and Tealium Web Companion.

Hi @milansatan - based upon the s.products string below, you are sending the event15 value of "12.00" twice. Try sending it only once and you should see your expected result. You may wish to send the event15 info outside (apart) from the s.products value so that it's sent only once as expected. Regards, MitchellT

Answering my own question here.... The Adobe Analytics automatic link tracking code does attach itself as a click listener and it is tricky to get it into the debugger. But it can be done if you troll around in the browser console and load the click listener that looks like "VM12345" or similar. Open the source and add some breakpoints, best before the s.t() call. Also open your Adobe Analytics script source (utag3.js in my case - refer to your tag's UID within TiQ to be sure). Add some breakpoints in there as well. I am still debugging the "javascript&colon;" exit links, but I was able to figure out why I'd get link calls with all variables sent in the Adobe pixel. Turns out we use a special S-object Name other than "s" but the embedded link tracking module does not update internally (bug?) to use the same object name. As a workaround I was able to use an extension to set 's.linkTrackVars="None"' for certain link clicks and clean up some bad data in our evars. More soon.

mitchellt · ‎08-02-2017

Hi - it's a two part question... about the Adobe Analytics (SiteCatalyst) tag. 1) the exit link tracking feature of the Adobe Analytics tag seems to load a block of code into a click listener. I can't seem to debug this via Tealium the same way we track utag.link and utag.view calls. How to debug then? 2) if in our Adobe Analytics tag config, we have renamed the s-object to something other than "s" do we need to tweak the link tracking code contained in the Adobe Analytics tag template? I see lots of references to the "s" object like s.t() and s.tl() calls. One reason I'm trying to debug at this level is because I have a lot of "javascript&colon;" links showing in my Exit Links report but I have "javascript&colon;, ...." as the first entry of the tag's Internal Link Filters setting. It is as if the Internal Link Filters setting is ignored. I recently upgraded to H.27 and have recently updated the utag loader to the latest version last week. Thanks for ideas, suggestions, etc.

mitchellt · ‎07-26-2017

Thanks for the reply and ideas @meng_lim, but I still don't understand what distinguishes the example site from a "regular" site where Tealium fires on each page view with no additional work. Can you give me some suggestions what to look for? I'd prefer more technical than less technical so I can really learn/understand all the issues with tracking newer sites. Thanks -

mitchellt · ‎07-24-2017

I need some help to low-key reverse engineer a part of one of our web properties. Tealium fires on the first 'hit' when a visitor arrives on this site: http://community.active.com But, click a link and after the page loads, Tealium has not fired the second time. Click another link and again Tealium doesn't fire. What's missing? What DOM event is missing that Tealium can't detect the page has changed? There are no hashtags on the URLs of this site; nevertheless I tried adding an onhashchange lister and also tried an onpopstate listener (which worked only when using browser back or forward buttons) to little avail. Thanks in advance for some ideas beyond having the developers adding manual utag.view() calls. There must be some alternatives!

mitchellt · ‎07-13-2017

Hello @robert_sabec, this is great news, thanks for mentioning this option, I'll certainly take advantage of this option.

mitchellt · ‎07-13-2017

Hi @christina_sund, thanks for the reply, but in practice, it doesn't seem so easy unless I'm missing something. I just updated the template on one of my TiQ profiles which had a SiteCatalyst tag. But updating the template did not magically convert the tag to Adobe App Measurement and provide those listings in the drop down as your screenshot showed. (see my screenshot below) I'd love to convert one particular profile from Site Cat to App Measurement, but doing so will require remapping 82 variables "by hand" unless there's another method I'm missing? Thanks for any leads....

mitchellt · ‎07-10-2017

Is there a way to avoid remapping all the tag variables when upgrading from Adobe Site Catalyst "s" code tag to the new Adobe App Measurement library tag? So far I hadn't found a way to do this - hoping there's a magic tool someplace! :) Copy or Duplicating the existing tag, then modifying, is not an option when making this upgrade.... or am I missing something? Thanks for any input....!

mitchellt · ‎07-10-2017

Hi @Christine, sounds like you're using one of the Magento Marketplace "extensions"? If so, then you first will want to check with the extension's author and/or review any documentation around customization, plus learn about the variables already on the new data layer. Once you know those variables then you can map to them in the Tealium Data Layer panel. I'm sure others will chime in here as well... best of luck!

mitchellt · ‎07-10-2017

Hello All - I need some help with controlling various tags in my TiQ profile. 1) if I set a cookie on control a tag from firing multiple times on a certain page, how can I expire that cookie when the URL changes? 2) how can I tell if TiQ is firing because of a "natural" page load compared to being fired from a utag.view() or utag.link() call? 3) is there a way that I can tell that this is the "nth" time TiQ has fired on the current page? And, basically, are there variables or cookies within Tealium which I can access to help me determine any of the above? Use case explanations.... 1) I have a page which fires utag.view multiple times. I only want to fire certain tags on the first (natural) page view, so I set a cookie no problem. When I move to the next page, what's the best way to reset the cookie? How do I know I'm on the next page... setting/reading another cookie?
