How can we set the s.referrer in DTM?

[valeriea6918303]

For vanity urls, we have the redirect landing our our site with a url parameter of "refd" that has the referring domain in it.

For instance, if our real site is "http://mysite.com" and we have a vanity domain of "http://myfancydomain.com" that redirects to http://mysite.com?redf=myfancydomain.com we need to set the s.referrer to "myfancydomain.com". 

Custom code?

Hi,

In case you want to capture "myfancydomain.com" from the URL http://mysite.com?redf=myfancydomain.com, you can use Util.getQueryParam() method to capture refd query string value in s.referrer variable.

Something like this:

s.referrer= s.Util.getQueryParam("redf");

how do we verify the Referrer Value? it is not displaying in adobe anlaytics debugger like other eVars and props
