Parsing URL minus domain & QSP to Page Name

Question

Hi,

Apologies if this is mentioned but I couldn't find anything in Adobe documentation or on the forums.

A site I'm working on doesn't use a data layer and currently only passes URL into the Page Name variables. I'm looking for a workaround to pass URL minus domain and query string parameters into the Page Name var, possibly with slashes replaced by colons.

Is there a rule for this I can use within Adobe Launch? Assume it may require some custom code.

Thanks,

James

@jmaguire-1 -The simplest approach might be to create a "page name" data element that parses the pathname per your requirements. Maybe start with something like this:var path = document.location.pathname;if (path === "/") {  // specify a default value if the path is "/" (assume home page)  path = "homepage";} else {  // remove leading "/", then replace all remaining "/" with ":"  path = path.replace(/^\//, "").replace(/\//g, ":");}return path; Then, in your rules, reference the data element.

Dear Jmaguire,Why do you want to capture the pathname + Query String Parameters in the pagename? I would not recommend it because it will result in duplication of the pages.URL: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/adobe-analytics-questions/message-id/21725?q=testPagename: /adobe-analytics-questions/message-id/21725?q=testYou are trying to achieve the above right? If yes, please do not go for it, particularly in the Page Name variable.Thanks, Arun.
