javascript conditions in DTM custom code

Hi,

I am trying to set values in some evars, props and events based on keywords present in the URL in the custom code of a direct call rule. so IF the URL contains xyz or abc, set

if (s.pageURL.indexOf("/xyz")>-1 || s.pageURL.indexOf("/abc")>-1)

{

s.event="event1";

s.prop5=s.eVar5=_satellite.getVar('test');

}

any idea on how to make these conditions work?

    What are you trying to understand from a user behaviour perspective for the 2 types of URLs? Can you explain in more detail your desired categorization reporting output?

    Hi, your sudo code looks like you are on the right path - are you having issues, if so what are they?

    I'll use document.location instead of s.* though.

      Hi,

      Looks like your event script has syntax error.

      You currently have it implemented as s.event="event1", where-as it should be using s.events.

      Your script should be s.events="event1".

        Can you use this instead?

        s.events = s.apl(s.events, "event1", ",", 2);

        will this have an impact on other events in the same rule?

        Wherever you have events, rather than assigning the variable directly, use the below syntax.

        s.event = "event1"

        to

        s.events = s.apl(s.events, "event1", ",", 2);

        s.event = "event2"

        to

        s.events = s.apl(s.events, "event2", ",", 2);

        Etc.

        Hi!

        I had the same problem! In my Direct Call Rule, I set up an s.tl() call in the Adobe Analytics section of the rule. I have eVars and props set in the the Global Variables section and I have eVars, props, and events being set in the Custom Code. Yet none of my events in the Custom Code were being included in the analytics call, even though the s.events variable was being correctly valued.

        This is how I fixed it

        1) in the Custom Code, you can set your s.event in any fashion (either with your s.events=event2 or by using the append function of s.apl()).

        2) add this line of code as the last line in your Custom Code --> s.linkTrackEvents=s.events;

        And that is it! Save your rule, refresh the web page, go through the steps to trigger the Direct Call Rule, and you should see the events included in your analytics call

        HAve a good day -

        Sarah

        update:

        replaced s.pageURL with window.document.URL and the rule seems to work fine. however only the first part of the condition is being considered i.e. rules fires when URL contains /xyz but not when it contains /abc.

        if (window.document.URL.indexOf("/xyz")>-1 || window.document.URL.indexOf("/abc")>-1)

        is there any other way to implement an OR condition?

        Could you send sample url's where these condition fail?
