Hi again @Anonymous - thanks so much for your detailed replies/explanations, etc.     My "saga" continues...   Since I realized one of the sites I have to track is a SPA and that all the traffic wasn't being recorded until implementing the onhashchange listener, I have since found another site which was coded to use the same URL for each of the three distinct pages of content it returns.  On this new site, it's not using Ajax or XHR, yet I need to detect that the content has changed/reloaded.  What are other listeners you can suggest for me to try?   Eventually I will get this particular site rewritten, but I need to get tracking established in the meantime, thanks for any ideas! ...

Thanks @Anonymous for the updated code and commentary.  Thanks also for elevating my ideas/concerns to engineering.   As I mentioned before, if this tactic to track a SPA is not really the best practice, should we mark your sample as a Solution?  Maybe it could be marked as a Workaround?  :)   Thanks and I welcome additional discussion from you and anyone reading! ...

Thanks for the reply @Anonymous - I know it's not best practice, but at the moment it isn't practical to get server-side calls to utag.view() coded into the site.  I did find a similar block of code and added it to a pre-loader extension to get some tracking occurring on the site.     Will the Tealium utag.js ever be able to handle basic SPAs on its own someday?  For example, on this particular site, the URL does update (the hashtag portion), but until I added this extension nothing was happening much to everyone's dismay.   SPAs are spreading like an epidemic and there's little documentation about how to track them in a variety of situations.  It's not always possible to have a site rebuilt only for the sake of web analytics implementation as you can imagine.   Can you explain the code sample a little more?  Is the "evt" agrument necessary beyond good practice / well-formed syntax?  Also can  you explain the if(!!utag) line?  Finally, why would I use Pre Loader over DOM Ready ?     Thanks for your input/replies to the above - it is much appreciated! ...

Hello @craig_rouse - I was able to track down this set of extensions through my account manager.  However, few instructions came with it - esp. the SiteCatalyst part.  Could you provide this info?     Many thanks, MitchellT ... View more

>>  respectfully crashing this thread!  <<   Hello @adrian_browning - is this still a working solution for selective lower-casing?  Could you provide a clearer example as far as the data layer or variable names are concerned?  Are cv1 and cv3 the data elements to be excluded from lower casing in this example?    Should/Can I refer to these values as b['variable'] ?   Thanks for any updates/ideas... ...

Hello - did you ever get a reply on this, or figure it out on your own?  I want to use this latest version of App Measurement as well.   ... View more

Thanks for the reply Dan, and apologies to all for hijacking a thread.  I definitely understand that we all can't share but so much proprietary info in this community, but for the sake of community I hope we can all be better at posting resolutions to help others coming behind us.   Thanks for posting the detailed explanation Dan!     ...

Any follow-up on this topic? The reply above is classic for this community... "contact your AM and have a solution team member investigate", but this offers little learning opportunity/value for folks researching after the fact. We don't know if the problem was solved nor how to solve it in the future. </end rant> thanks for the bandwidth. ... View more

How about a screenshot? ... View more

Thanks @kathleen_jo, that gives me an idea how to approach the problem.  I hope to get some other suggestions too! ... View more

@Ramzi93, do you have the jQuery extension scoped to DOM Ready? If not, then that may be why the tag fires multiple times. ... View more

Need more info to help solve...  how did you set it up?  What are the load rules for your tag? ... View more

Hello  - this is a good topic - so @chris_horne, what's the solution when we need to fire multiple FB tags on one page?  My gut reaction is to move to an non-JavaScript tag (image pixel ping) if possible, because that takes any JS objects out of the picture.   ... View more

Looks like this topic has a teeny bit of info. Poor s.pageType variable doesn't rate its own space in the mapper apparently! :) Maybe that's another reason I find it not implemented on most SC implementations I review. https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Tealium-iQ/SiteCatalyst-s-pageType-is-missing-in-the-tag/m-p/8956/highlight/true#M3309 ...

Forgive the intrusion on the topic, but I'm working on something similar. Adobe Analytics provides a special variable called "pageType" which is only used for reporting pages not found (http 404 response). I don't see this pageType variable in my Adobe SiteCatalyst tag data mapping destinations options, so I suppose I need to add it as a custom variable. If nothing else it should be in "Other" in the Adobe tag mappings list. See: https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/sc/implement/pageType.html Furthermore, does Tealium "sense" the 404 status code in the document's response header? I can see the 404 status in the browser console (network panel)... how can I retrieve that status and do something based on the value (such as moving the page name value into the s.pageType variable).

The more I learn, I am posting here so others can benefit...   Video.js is an open source video library which boils down to HTML5 video.     So, this article will be useful: https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Tealium-iQ/HTML-5-Video-Tracking/ta-p/14849   I'll write more as I make my way through the docs/implementation, but look forward to reading others' experiences as well!   Thanks -  ...

I see that there is a SiteCatalyst plugin at GitHub for video.js player...  https://github.com/jpriebe/videojs-sc   Also a Google Analytics plugin is available:  https://github.com/mickey/videojs-ga   Any guidance appreciated. ... View more

Thanks for the reply and walkthrough.  I was thinking "why" and "why not?" all at the same time.  Our devs stay backed up so thought a workaround might be possible even though all the "don't try this" alarms were sounding in my mind.  I didn't even think of the 'race' condition, could only think of timing issues elsewhere.   We'll have to try another approach.... thanks again! ...

Hi @kathleen_jo - could you tap the url in Roshan's post with your magic wand?  The url is broken at the moment and I'd like to read the resolution Roshan provided to Vicente.  Thanks -   MitchellT ... View more
