Parsing URL minus domain & QSP to Page Name

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

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=test

    Pagename: /adobe-analytics-questions/message-id/21725?q=test

    You are trying to achieve the above right? If yes, please do not go for it, particularly in the Page Name variable.

    Thanks, Arun.
