linkTrackEvents in custom code

[surekhan9781820]

In Adobe Launch, I am trying to raise events in custom code on a click event.

Below is the code that fires the events in custom code.

s.linkTrackVars="events";

s.linkTrackEvents="event63,event563";

s.events="event63,event563";

This code works fine in DTM but does not work in Launch, Anything different in Launch? Who do I assign evars, props or events in custom code?

Can you show how you've setup the rule in Launch? Also, are you getting any errors in the javascript console? Finally, can you verify that you are able to access the s object from that rule? Try setting a prop or eVar in the custom section to see if it's a problem with the s object or specifically the events.

It is a Core-click event rule with no conditions and needs to fire on any element. There are no console errors. I tried setting prop or eVar but it  didn't help too. It might be a s object problem, but how do we verify I am able to access the s object from the rule?

I tired setting events directly from the UI instead of custom code and it worked fine.

So if you weren't able to set any variables on the s object, it's likely a scoping issue. Can I ask why you are trying to set variables in the custom code section to begin with? If you are just setting events, the UI should be able to handle that without any problem.

Because of too many anchor tags on my page, I would like to handle all the anchor tag clicks in a single rule but fire different events or props depending on the element clicked.

Also, from my understanding, you should still be able to access the s object from the custom code section of the Analytics extension. Which custom code section are you trying to set the events in? Are you using the custom section in the actions portion of the rule? If so, what extension are you using in your action configuration?

I am using Adobe Analytics Extension in Action Configuration, and Custom code section of the actions rule.
