Tealium Learning Center

For an integration of Tealium into a Mobile App, we are looking at the Cordova plugin. My question is: Does this plugin support offline queuing? Ie. collecting requests while offline and sending them off once network connection is back? What happens if the user closes the app with requests on the queue? Are they going to be sent next time the app is launched? Many thanks for your input. ... View more

Hi there In order to track search results, there we are using a datalayer variable populated with the number of search results returned. This variable is mapped via tag toolbox to a custom dimension of the Google Analytics tag. All is fine if the value is greater than 0: The GA tag is populating the custom dimension as expected. However, if there are no search results, the value is 0 and the custom dimension is not populated at all. We would expect it to be populated with the value of "0". Small issue with the datalayer variable: The values are set as integers, not strings. If I understand this article here correctly, this should no longer be an issue however: https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Tealium-iQ-Tag-Management/Value-not-set-for-custom-dimension/m-p/17080 The GA tag template is of version tv:7110.20190129 and does contain the section  if (b[d] !== undefined && b[d] !== "") { Before I advise devs to change the value to string (which was specified anyway), I would like to be sure that this is the issue. Many thanks and kind regards...Jean-Marc ... View more

I want to keep things simple in the data layer. That's why I was planning to use one single variable for an event identifier. Let's call it "event_name". These events can be set upon pageload with the initial pageview call, defining what kind of page is being viewed. Example values are "homepage_view", "product_view" but also "checkout" or "purchase" because they are usually set on pageload. upon click by the user. These events would be set with a utag.link() call. Example values are "cart_add", "product_click" etc. automatically on pageload with a utag.link() call, typically by product carousels or any other event not inflicted by the user. Example values are "promo_impression" or "product_impression". Is there any major problem with this setup? What are the reasons why you would not do it this way? Many thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts. Jean-Marc ... View more

Hi all We are looking at ways to better organise data layer, extensions and tags in modular libraries. In an environment with many different profiles, the whole stack of the datalayer and extensions is rarely used by one profile. Instead, there are some profiles that make use of e-commerce variables (and related extensions), some only need a basic setup and others are content platforms that would require yet another set of datalayer variables and extensions. We could easily split up the data layer and extensions in logical "packages". The problem is mapping variables to tags with a large number of mappings, typically Analytics tags. Ideally, those tags would be managed in one place. But given the diversity of the platforms, the mapping would be very different for the a.m. profile types. Not feasible with the ootb tag mapping. The idea is to do the mapping in a Javascript extension scoped to the respective tag. Ie. overriding the *u.map* part of the tag template with that extension. Is that something you would recommend or is there another way to achieve a flexible mapping? Many thanks for your thoughts ... View more

Hi Is there a way to retrieve the names of libraries that have been loaded by a profile in Javascript? We would like to expose this in a data layer attribute for easier testing / debugging.  Many thanks for your ideas ... View more

I have several load rules which are not scoped to tags.  Instead, they are used in the currency converter extension only.  Here's the problem: If they are not scoped to a tag, they will not be included in the utag.js and thus the currency converter extension conditions will never evaluate to true.    The load rule's conditions are so that they check if country = x and currency = y. Each one for a different country/currency combination. So they are mutually exclusive and I cannot scope all of them to the Currency Converter Tag for example.    Workaround is to have one converter tag for each load rule or create a "ghost" generic tag to which all of the load rules are applied (so it would not load and the load rules will be included in utag.js).   Have I overseen anything or is this the way to follow? Many thanks in advance for your thoughts. Jean-Marc   ... View more

Hi I am looking for the best solution to set the Adobe Analytics Currency Code (cc) dynamically. I was assuming the E-Commerce Extension would do the job but it apparently doesnt. Some information about my implementation: SiteCat Code Version H.27 Utag Version 4.28 E-Commerce Currency (_ccur) set to utag_data var "order_currency". Shows the correct value. Adobe Analytics Tag "Currency Code" setting = "" (empty) because I need it to be a dynamic value from "order_currency".   However, the Sitecatalyst tag does not get the Currency code. This would show in parameter "cc". But with the above setting, the param cc is not set.   There is no mapping available for the Currency Code in the AA toolbox.     Do I really need to set the "cc" param with a dedicated "Set Data Value" extension? That's the only thing I can think of.   Many thanks in advance for your ideas. Jean-Marc ... View more

There is this very well documented solution how to track Adblocker numbers in the Documentation base: https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/iQ-Tag-Management/Tracking-Ad-Blocker-Numbers-in-Google-Universal-Analytics/ta-p/14514   I have two questios about this: 1) This apparently sends off an event call to Google Analytics once the page has fully rendered. Is there an option that this could be included with the pageview request in a custom dimension for example? Or is it because of possible performance issues that this is handled in a seprate request? 2) There are various adblockers around working in different ways. Which type of adblockers does this script cover and is it still supported and/or updated?   Many thanks and kind regards...Jean-Marc     ... View more

Hi there I am looking for the best solution to the following:   There's a library that holds all major tags for a large number of linked profiles (50+). Analytics Custom dimensions 1-149 are reserved for common variables. No problem here.   But CDs 150-200 are reserved for profile-specific variables. This means for example that in profile "A" CD 150 should get Variable "abc" mapped whereas in profile "B" CD 150 would be Variable "xyz".   Because of the large portion of common mappings and the large number of profiles it still makes sense to manage the tag in the library.    What's best to have a manageable mapping of the individual variables? Was thinking of setting up Data Layer variables like "custom_var_150", "custom_var_151" etc. and then set the value to these variables in a profile-specific extensions (of type "Set Data value" or "Javascript"). But I am not sure if this is the path to follow.   What do you think?   Many thanks in advance for you thoughts :-) Jean-Marc ... View more
