Adobe Analytics Click Map - adobe-analytics

I'm trying to find out if the Adobe Analytics click map plugin fails because it is ancient und apparently not maintained, or if I need to change something in my (not up to date, but not quite as ancient - H.27 ) s_code.
Now the instructions say "requires IE6 or FF3", so there is a good chance the plugin has died of old age without Adobe taking notice.
But then the documentation says
The Page ID (ClickMap) and Object ID (ClickMap) variables must be
present within a given image request after you click on at least one
link. These variables are also known as the pid and oid variables.
Generally, if s.trackInlineStats is set to true, these will
automatically populate
and while s.trackInlineStats is set to true I do not see a "pid" or "oid" parameter in the server calls. So my question is: Are there any other changes I need to make to the s_code to get the thing working, or is this broken and won't work no matter what I do ?
The error I'm getting is "invalid address" and a description of what an url is supposed to look like. I'm using Firefox (albeit not Version 3 but the lastest version) and I am logged in to the Adobe account connected to that page.

I've come across several scenarios where it broke AA tracking. Weirdness that involved things like the plugin appending "undefined" to certain various url params in the AA request, some of them causing Adobe servers to reject the hit (for example, one case was it appended "undefined" to currencyCode value and if you do not have a valid currency code value, Adobe rejects the entire hit).
I've gone to Adobe ClientCare several times over ClickMap shenanigans and eventually I was told (by Adobe) to not use the plugin, because it's always been buggy, and they basically stopped supporting it a long time ago.
As #sky pointed out, Adobe recently released their new ActivityMap reports and plugin, but it does require you to upgrade to AppMeasurement 1.6+

Why the url of youtube will be changed when I hover mouse on a video?

I was surfing on youtube and I realized something.
When I hover mouse on a video, then the url will be changed.
Interestingly, this happens in some browsers.What's the matter? Why does string start with &? https://www.youtube.com/?&ab_channel=NASA
What is the benefit to change the URL?
Interestingly, this happens in some browsers.
Different browser different support, a what you see is what you get is a standard we all want and must write our scripts specific to each browser if a feature requires it. In this case the new feature may not be widely supported or their coding wasn't compliant enough to give you this exact result each browser.
What's the matter?
No problem here, the URL is a tiny-bit broken but won't impact site performance unless you happen to error out the server and crash the entire network.
Why does string start with ?& https://www.youtube.com/?&ab_channel=NASA
What is the benefit to change the URL?
A URL alone has no parameters passed to it, so youtube.com. When a parameter is passed through the site on its HTTPS request will check these and determine what it is you want. So the response will return NASA cause ab_channel included it.
Because ? has nothing after it like ?video=asd89sa982 it's treated as undefined and serves no value or importance.
YouTube can fix it if they desire with script adjustment.
the URLs works in a way that when the site has started or reloaded, It's going to check for any element that has a href which has a link that has either https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= or https://youtu.be/ basically a YouTube video and then save those links, when one of them i hovered over, It's tell which. This works fine but one downside that I'm currently facing is that new links that are added in after the site has already started or reloaded won't be counted and therefore when I hover them it won't show the links, I'm reffering to comments; for-example if I make a comment that has a link to a video, after i post that comments and hover over that link I posted, It won't show the link. I could make a function which reloads every like 5 seconds but this doesn't seem to be a good idea. Plus what I'm actually working on, realoding every time won't be good.

Can't view/change input field in iframe on phonegap app

So here's the situation. I am using a third party digital document signing service called PandaDoc in my mobile application which is built on PhoneGap/Cordova and I am not able to change any of the input, text-type fields when attempting to do this via the mobile app on an iPhone (haven't tested Android yet).
Here are some things i noted about this:
1) When viewed online in Chrome (on my laptop) or on my phone in the Chrome browser everything works fine.
2) The only form elements that aren't working on mobile are the input (type=text) ones. The checkboxes work, the dropdowns work etc...
3) I don't know much about Angular.js but i can tell this third party app was built on it. When i inspect and compare the mobile vs web version i noticed that on the mobile version the input fields have these two directives:
ng-pristine and ng-touched
From what i can tell researching these, they seem to be mutually exclusive so not sure how that would affect things. Also the web version had:
ng-dirty and ng-valid-parse
both of which the mobile version did not have.
I know it would be best if i could post some code here but i don't know where to start. In my app there is just a simple embed script that puts the PandaDoc into an iFrame.
If you want to see the mobile test version of this app you can view it at http://dev.velexo.com/m2 I have a test user with a username of "mobile2" and the password is "pass". Unfortunately there is no easy way to send out the iphone app version of this and that is where the problem is.
Oh also, when you log into the application, click on the W9 Information button and then the Enter Your W9 button, this is what brings up the pandadoc
Also should have mentioned I'm using JQuery Mobile in the app.
Any advice/guidance would be welcome even if it's just a guess.
just looking over my old questions here. The answer to the actual question I asked is that you can not change anything in an iFrame from the parent frame unless both the domain and the port match due to the cross-domain policy restraints.
There are no ways around this that I am aware of.
The solution to my particular problem was to get rid of PandaDoc entirely because it just wasn't designed to be used on a mobile device. In the end i wrote my own javascript for creating a signature and passing to the backend where i used a php pdf generating library to construct the final document.

Adobe Analytics Slicing Tags

I have an iOS app where I have analytics setup (as most people do) that tracks a whole set of different scenarios. In a few of them, the data I send with the tag doesn't all get sent. What I mean by this is best demonstrated with an example. If I send the following data as a tag in one of my analytics:
User successfully logged into the app and hit the homescreen
Now, I wouldn't normally send all of that in just one tag, it would get broken up, but for example purposes, pretend that's what I want to send. For quite a few users, tags like this will get sliced up into all sorts of different tags, so when I actually look in SiteCatalyst, I end up seeing a bunch of tags that may resemble something like so:
successfully logg
nd hit the homescreen
User successfully logged into the app and hit the homescreen
User successfully logg
And so on. It breaks it up into a bunch of different parts, and then displays them all as separate tags. The ones that are affected get broken up into 15-20 different tags all of which are different parts of the full tag.
Here is the hard part: I can't reproduce the issue. I'm trying, but haven't been able to yet. I also am not very well versed in Adobe analytics and am not sure how the backend setup is for us on SiteCat.
Because of my inexperience with analytics, I'm not sure what more data may be helpful. My code doesn't do any truncation, it simply calls trackAppState:withContextData:, and the tags in my contextData get truncated like I showed.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Has anyone seen anything similar? Or could anyone point me in a direction that may get me started looking into this issue? I'm really at a loss of how to go about debugging this issue.
Edit: One piece of info that just hit me! I build up the tag in question (at least the current one I'm trying to reproduce, for all I know there are other tags that get truncated that aren't built up like this, I haven't gotten a chance to look into all of them yet.) using `-[NSString stringWithFormat:] and take the errorMessage that is returned as my message, so it's a dynamic tag.
It may have something to do with the stringWithFormat: message? Again, very lost as to where to even start with this one.
can you give us a sample of the code you use to call the trackAppState?
If it can help you you can enable debug logging for the Adobe Analytics library calling the method [ADBMobile setDebugLogging:YES]; in the appDidFinishLaunchingWithOption.
In this way you can see in the console how Adobe send the data.
You can also use the tool "Bloodhound" which is a proxy App developed by Adobe expecially for osx in order to let you sniff all the info sent by your App in real time, you can find it in the help section of the mobile marketing interface.
Thanks,
Claudio.

Google Analytics Content Experiment showing no visitors

I've got a content experiment running in Google Analytics and it isn't showing any visitors. The code is validating correctly and appears to be functioning correctly if I test it.
I've used parameterised versions of the same page (?v=1, ?v=2, ...) for the different variations.
It also may be because the experiment is on a search page which receives a parameter of what is being searched on in the URL.
Anyone got any experience with these problems yet?
It seems to take a few hours for my data to start showing up. So depending on how impatient you are it may just take more time.
I also had a problem since I had Enable Demographics and Interest Reports turned on (Question that might help)

What is the new #_ appended to Wikipedia's URLs? Why?

Wikipedia's URLs recently started adding #_ (appended or embedded) to the mobile version of the website.
What does this mean?
Why did Wikipedia start using this new convention?
I knew about shebang/hashbang (#!) but I am not sure I understand the purpose of Wikipedia's new #_.
Is this also related to AJAX?
How does it work?
BTW, typing the URL into the browser's address without the #_, results in auto-redirect to the #_-appended URL, which results in significant performance hit on my browser. There must be a good reason to use this new #_ scheme. I just don't know (yet) what it is.
It's just a dummy value used as a kluge. The code that sets it was introduced on May 1 in a commit titled "fix jump to top", with the following commit message:
"currently clicking on the jump to top link has no effect. This is
because opening a section sets the hash to the same as the jump to
top link. By resetting it first we can get back the behaviour we want"
If it's really causing a performance issue in your browser, you should probably report it as a bug in MediaWiki. Actually, you should probably report it as a bug in your browser too.
