I'm having some trouble figuring out the best way to get ADTM to fire when I show or hide a piece of content on one of my pages. Note, I'm simply toggling the style.display, not retrieving and inserting via AJAX.
I gather that it would be some sort of Event Base Rule with a custom condition to test the style.display value, but I'm unsure of which event I should actually be using. The closest one would seem to be "element exists", but that seems to only be for testing the presence of DOM nodes.
Any help greatly appreciated.
The way to do this would be to use the "Enters Viewport" option. When the item visibility is set to display and the user can see the content then this event is triggered.

I'm trying to set the Visitor ID in Adobe Analytics through DTM.
Above the s_code I have:
var visitor = new Visitor("xxxx")
visitor.trackingServer = "xxx.xx.xx.omtrdc.net"
I've created a data element where the legacy code used to call the
Visitor.getInstance("xxxx");
and set the Visitor ID to %Visitor ID%
That's not working however, and my visitor ID is always just set to %Visitor ID% and obviously not reading any values. I'd really appreciate any input that someone can give me.
Thanks,
Mike
The Visitor ID pops s.visitorID and is in general related to visitor id, but is not the same as s.visitor which is what gets popped for the VisitorAPI integration. DTM does not currently have a built-in field for the s.visitor variable, so you will have to set it yourself within the config, either in the Library Management code editor (assuming you are opting to c/p the core lib and not the "Managed by Adobe" option) or else in the Custom Page Code section.
Since you are popping it in a data layer first, you can reference the data layer like this:
s.visitor = _satellite.getVar('Visitor ID');
NOTE: A separate potential issue you may have is with whether or not the Visitor object is available for your data element. Since data elements are the first thing to be evaluated by DTM, you will need to ensure that the VisitorAPI.js library is output before your top page DTM script include.
If this is a problem for you, or if you are wanting to host VisitorAPI.js within DTM, then you may need to adjust where you are popping that stuff. For example, place the VisitorAPI core code above the custom code as the first stuff within the data element, before:
var visitor = new Visitor("xxxx") visitor.trackingServer = "xxx.xx.xx.omtrdc.net
Or, don't use the data element at all. Instead, put the VisitorAPI code within the Adobe Analytics custom code or core lib section and pop all that stuff (aboove the s.visitor assignment). Or a number of other methods; point is, VisitorAPI stuff must be loaded before the data element can make use of it, same as it must be loaded before Adobe Analytics can make use of it.
So DTM is changing pretty fast and furious right now. They have a "Marketing Cloud Service ID" that works well. Before I used that, however, I did find a way to fix the code. Crayon Violent was right, as usual, that the problem was that the script wasn't available yet. I fixed this by putting the following code in between the VisitorAPI.js and the AppMeasurement stuff in the DTM managed library.
var aA = new AppMeasurement();
aA.visitorNamespace="companyname";
aA.visitor = Visitor.getInstance("companyname");
In addition, there were also some issues using my localhost for testing while trying to see if I had this correct or not. If you are having issues and think you have it correct, it may be worthwhile to elevate it to a different environment.
I have a large XPage with about 170 fields on it. I have tooltips for a fair number of the fields. The tooltip does a lookup into a help DB and returns the related text. They work fine but they significantly slow down the load process because of the number of times the lookup is performed. I put a dBar.info statement in the JS that loads the text and in one load the document and put it into edit mode it would appear to have fired that one tooltip lookup 6 times. If it does that for every one of the tooltips then clearly that is the reason for the slow performance of the XPage. I did it both with the DynamicContent set to both true and false with similar results. I'm tempted to just remove the tool tips but that kind of defeats the purpose.
Is there a way to limit the tooltip to only fire the lookup when called? Like something linked to the MouseOver event. It seems to me the tooltip in the extension Library works OK if there are only a few fields requiring inline help but does not scale well.
Just as a test I removed all the tooltips from the XPage and while the loading is slow it is probably acceptable, but the tooltips slow it to the point of unacceptability.
Bill,
This is an excellent use case for an ApplicationScope bean. Create a bean that implements Map and uses an internal HashMap as cache. Let's call it tooltip. In your tooltip you define the label as EL e.g. tooltip['Manager']. XPages will call the get function. In it you check the internal HashMap if you have the value, otherwise you look it up. So lookup happens once only.
You could instead of looking up on demand opt for loading when initialized. Using a view navigator that should be very fast. Since it would be an Application scope only loaded once.
Makes sense?
You can use view.isRenderingPhase() to minimise the lookups during a partial refresh. With the tooltip you can also change the showDelay property so the tooltip has a delay before showing. This is a good thing to do for a view, so it doesn't try to load each tooltip as the mouse moves down the page. dynamicContent="true" may also mean it's not loaded with the page, but only when called - I haven't checked this so I'm not certain.
API version is GoogleAnalyticsiOS_2.0beta4.
The problem I'm dealing with is next:
f.e. I have several screens with one of them called PagesScreen.
PagesScreen have several pages.
In addition to screen tracking, I wish to track pages visited by user.
If I use custom dimension, f.e. pageName in conjunction with
[tracker sendView:#"Page View"], obviously, each time page changes, page visits being added to screen visits with #"Page View" screen name. I don't want to page views statistics being mixed with screen views. Therefore I don't have to call sendView: API. sendEvent: API is also not suitable for my case.
The remaining method is:
- (BOOL)send:(NSString *)trackType params:(NSDictionary *)parameters;
But neither it's description tells me about usage, nor mentions I've found in iOS integration guide.
What is trackType and what is parameters structure? Does anybody knows how to use it?
I think you can find the allowed trackTypes and required parameters on the following page:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/v1/devguide
For instance, to send an event via send:parameters, the trackType should be #"event" and should have the following keys/values:
&ec=video // Event Category. Required.
&ea=play // Event Action. Required.
&el=holiday // Event label.
&ev=300 // Event value.
Hope this helps!
I have a view data source that uses a view key to access documents and show them in a repeat with var "posts". within the repeat I have a document data source with var "post" that gets's the the unid of the documents using posts.getUniversalID().
further down the repeat I have another document data source "newcomment" that is a response and take the parent id as: post.getDocument().getUniversalID()
below the newcomment data source I have an editbox and a submit button which saves the comment as a response to the "post" using newcomment.save()
Here is my problem
two people access the same xpage. personA enters the page and starts writing a comment to a post. in the same time personB creates a new post and submit it before personA submits the comment. What happens now is that the comments gets binded to the latest post and not to the post personA responded to.
I tried anothoher thing also, let's say there is 10 posts in that database. personA and personB access the xpages. personA start writing a comment to post number 8. at the same time personB creates two new posts in the database. when personA now submits the comment it seem to get bind to the same index which is now two posts up. but still index 8. which is ofcourse the wrong post.
If I change the repeat to "createControlsAtPageCreation" ie.e repeatControls=true the comment is attached to the correct post but then I run into another problem that the view is not updated to show the latest posts.
my repeat is wihtin a custom control that is loaded dynamically using the dynamic content control in extlib.
As information here is what I have found about the repeatControls settings
Setting the repeatControls property to true instructs the repeat control to create a new copy of its children for each iteration over the dataset.
When the Repeat control is configured with the property
repeatControls=“true” , it repeats its contents only once, at page load time
So my question here is that I do not understand what is going on. why is my comment attached to the wrong parent document? and is there a way I can prevent this and still have new posts displayed correctly
thanks for your help
Without the code it's a bit hard to imagine what exactly is going one here but this looks very similar to problem that I had with repeat control and value binding.
Long story short the problem was connecet to repeatControls property set to false. When it was like that data binding were working only for first element in collection - all data was somehow magically saved to this first object! I managed to get this working by using combination of dynamic content control rebuild and repeatControls set to true. Only then databindings were working property.
It seems like if You are repeating rendering only (and this is what repeatControls set to false do) the decoding phase of jsf lifecycle goes foobar.
Without your XSP markup, it's difficult to be absolutely definitive but it appears that you're app code is creating and persisting the datasources and components per row during page load - therefore increasing the overall size and complexity of the component tree also. You should alternatively try an approach that will lazy-load the datasource only when requested by the end-user (eg: edit / reply).
Refer to the XPages Extension Library demo application (XPagesExt.nsf) for examples that use such a dynamic approach. In particular, look at Core_InPlaceForm.xsp which demonstrates using the xe:inPlaceForm control within a xp:repeat. And also see Domino_ForumView.xsp which demonstrates using the xe:forumView and xe:forumPost controls to manage and visualize a hierarchical thread. Also consider the concurrency mode that best suits your requirements when it actually comes to saving any given post or comment (fail, createConflict, force, exception) and document locking for high contention situations. The above-mentioned controls all provide the highest level of dynamic control and datasource creation and destruction.
Please feel free to send me on a worked example database, where I can understand your exact use case - DM me or email me.
This is probably jquery basics, but I can't find a solution after much googling.
How do you attach "non-events" to elements inserted in the DOM?
For events, like click, we can use live() or bind().
How would you, for instance, initialize tabs() or addClass() to a new element?
Specifically, I'm trying to get tabs() to work in the content of an ajax loaded dialog, but I think the correct solution should be applicable to any situation.
I did see a trick that involved $('body').mousemove() which did work, but that is still binding to an event and obviously a hack.
For instance, how would you get addClass() to fire on a newly inserted table row?
I mean to do this implicitly, meaning that I don't want to write out specific instructions for every event that adds nodes to the dom, I just want it to "run in the background".
Let me know if this needs clarification, I see many similar questions on SO but no answers that have helped.
EDIT: Simple example: A page calls $('a').addClass('highlight') which works on all anchors in the page. A new anchor is then added to the page dynamically by jQuery, but does not get the class added.
EDIT: I have tried all kinds of bind(), trigger() and change() methods but I'm afraid I'm barking up the wrong tree.
you need to look at livequery it will allow you to apply things to newly added elements
also if your adding the element you can do
$('body')append('<div>some content</div>').tabs();
or something like that
I know that I may contradicting your "non-event" rule here, but just by saying that you want something "triggered", you're already implying some kind of event.
In that case, may I suggest jQuery custom events? You may want to create a custom event, then trigger it manually somewhere in your code. It's not automatic (like when you add a row, BOOM, it fires™), but that's the closest thing I can think of with what you were describing.
Specifically, you may want to look at jQuery's .bind() and .trigger() methods.
