Re: DTM: Any possibility to access the target of an Event based rule from within a Custom data element? - Dynamic Tag Management 15-10-2015

I'm reading the original question again and I think I misunderstood what was being asked. So, first, if you are trying to reference the element being targeted by the event based rule, the 'this' object will refer to that element. You can then get what you need in a variety of ways. If you want any of the attributes that are already Javascript properties, such as 'href', you can simply reference 'this.href' to get that value. To put that value in an event, you could put %this.href% and it will re...

Re: DTM: Any possibility to access the target of an Event based rule from within a Custom data element? - Dynamic Tag Management 15-10-2015

Marco,Because of the way the different pieces of code are scoped in the engine, the exact scenario you describe isn't possible. However, you could do something like this:1) Create the data element(s) you want. Instead of referencing the target object directly, reference a copy of it (let's use "myTarget" in this example). We'll want to scope myTarget at the global level so it can be accessed anywhere. So, your data element might return something like "window.myTarget.href" if you wanted to retur...

Re: Viewport events in DTM - Dynamic Tag Management 15-10-2015

Craig,Yes, non-visible elements in DTM still trigger "enters viewport", as we don't look to see if something's visible. You can use CSS selectors to help narrow the focus of what the engine matches against though. See my earlier reply for details.Best,Shawn

Re: Rule Won't Update in DTM...Cache issue? - Dynamic Tag Management 15-10-2015

Taylor,It shouldn't take a few hours to update, but it can take up to an hour for changes to appear in the production library when publishing to Akamai because their servers around the world need time to clear the cached copy of your previous library. We are continually working on ways to optimize this timeframe and hope to decrease it in the near future. If you are consistently seeing that it is taking in excess of an hour for your updates to show up, please contact Adobe ClientCare and open a ...

Re: contextData in DTM - Dynamic Tag Management 15-10-2015

Tim,DTM doesn't do anything that would reset/re-initialize contextData, and Appmeasurement still supports it as far as I know.This is a situation where it would be helpful for us to get some additional information so we can investigate further and see what might be going on. Can you please e-mail Adobe ClientCare (clientcare@adobe.com) with as much detail as possible, including the URL(s) where you are testing, the company/property/rule(s) involved, etc?Best,Shawn

Re: DTM: Event based rules with AA code already present fire, but no AA beacon is generated - Dynamic Tag Management 15-10-2015

Marco,Is 's2' the name of the object being used in your on-page implementation? If not, then this won't work.When you check the "Adobe Analytics page code is already present" checkbox, DTM will not a) load s_code (which means it won't create any new s objects), or b) call s.t() for the page view. Thus, if you've specified 's2' as the object name, but your current on-page implementation uses 's' (or some other object name), then DTM is trying to call s2.tl() which refers to an invalid object, and...

Re: DTM Rule fires, but will not trigger SiteCat vars as expected. - Dynamic Tag Management 15-10-2015

Frank,I don't know for sure which property/rule you are working with, but I think I was able to find it. It looks like you aren't setting anything for Analytics aside from the lines in the Custom Code. I'm not sure if it's still present, but there used to be an odd quirk with Custom Code that required you to set at least one variable through the UI as well, otherwise it wouldn't send any of that data through.I would try setting Page URL to "%document.location.pathname%" (without the quotes) just...
