Cross-Visit Participation plug-in

[alanlupatini]

Hi guys, how are you doing? I've been reading about this plugin, but the ClientCare says that they doesn't support it anymore. Any information?

I see. In that case, you would want to use a combination of the crossVisitParticipation plug-in and channelManager, both of which are managed by our consulting team. While Marketing Channels provides excellent capabilities for first and last touch, those two plug-ins would be the best option if you're looking for everything in between.

Plug-ins such as this one were originally created and designed by consulting to offer additional functionality to our Analytics products. Though many well-versed in JavaScript can definitely make the plug-in work, there are some customizations that can be made to various plug-ins consulting prefers to converse with each client individually to ensure they're getting the most out of it.

Gigazelle, thanks for your attention! :)

Marketing channels offers some interesting reports, but they don't show a referrer clickthrough history as proposed by the plugin I mentioned. Today Google Analytics has a report very similar to the one the referred plugin is supposed to do.

Hi Alan, doing great!

Regarding your links, the first two have been introduced as features within Analytics known as Marketing Channels. The third link is available in the ad-hoc analysis capability, being able to see across visits (not just within the visit). Alternatively, you can contact Consulting, who can provide access to the crossVisitParticipation plug-in if you'd like this data in the marketing reports & analytics capability.

Here's some more information on Marketing Channels:

Consulting will have additional information/documentation on the plug-in, if you decide to go with it.

Isn't there any other way to get to that plugins? Why's that?

I've found some users content online, but I'm not safe to use that.

The  crossVisitParticipation plug-in is a javascript function to manipulate cookie.Since the new s_code tracking library had changed the original cookie handling  function used in the crossVisitParticipation plug-in,It's doesn't work any more.If you want to make it work,you just have to revisit the cookie handling function used in the crossVisitParticipation plug-in.

After carefully considering the above replies, the plugin is here in a KB article: 

https://omniture-help.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10553/kw/cross%20visit%20participation

I have implemented it along with Adobe Tag Manager, and it is allowing us to gain a lot of insight into how our customers use the site, switching offer codes and campaigns within sessions and between sessions.  We're still validating our data, so I'm not saying my data is perfect (is it ever?).

Best of luck!

Would be nice if Adobe made this plugin to work again.

Mitchell, what is the url you mean? https://omniture-help.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10553/kw/cross%20visit%20participation not working for me, not even logged-in. It works, but there's not information about this plugin!?

Be sure to login, then go to this link to get you into the Knowledge Base:

https://omniture-help.custhelp.com/app/answers/list

Then paste this link into the URL bar of your browser:

https://omniture-help.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10553/kw/cross%20visit%20participation

The KB article is 10553.  Download both files listed and give them a try in your implementation.  Embedded within the plugin source itself is an example of how to call it. Study closely and test in a staging area.

Good luck!

I can't access to this https://omniture-help.custhelp.com/app/answers/list because we are using newer (?) version of the adobe marketing cloud or something. But I guess the newest script for this plugin is here: http://digitalanalytic.blogspot.fi/2012/06/cross-visit-participation-plugin.html so let's test that and see how it goes. Yes, I'll test it with some proxy tool so no worries if it does not work. I guess it's more likely that this script works better with older s_code files and maybe not with the new appMeasurement.js file, yes, have to test it.

I didn't get this http://digitalanalytic.blogspot.fi/2012/06/cross-visit-participation-plugin.html to work, at least with pure copy and paste.

Maybe have try to do own fixed plugin or then just have to wait that Adobe makes automatic attribution tool for SiteCatalyst. Could be a long wait or maybe not since GA is rocking with this feature and SiteCatalyst not.
