I'm trying to figure out how to track AJAX requests on my page with Google Analytics (in this case, we are loading more category results). This is the code I'm adding on my page:
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-xxx"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'UA-XXX');
</script>
I was led to believe that running this after the AJAX requests would do the trick:
ga('set', 'page', this_url);
ga('send', 'pageview', this_url);
However, it doesn't seem to work. How would I do this? On our old setup you just do:
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', this_url]);
...and this tracks it perfectly.
OK so I figured it out. I was reading this article:
https://www.analyticsmania.com/post/single-page-web-app-with-google-tag-manager/
...and it mentioned about the "push" function:
window.dataLayer.push({
'event': 'Pageview',
'url': this_url
});
Sure enough, adding that in and I now see the extra page view going through to Google Analytics. Hopefully this helps save someone a bit of hassle!

I am trying to use my first Headless CMS and I've tried both Prismic.io and Contentful.
For instance, this is the code from Contentful guide:
asyncData({ env }) {
return Promise.all([
// fetch the owner of the blog
client.getEntries({
'sys.id': env.CTF_PERSON_ID
}),
// fetch all blog posts sorted by creation date
client.getEntries({
content_type: env.CTF_BLOG_POST_TYPE_ID,
order: '-sys.createdAt'
})
])
.then(([entries, posts]) => {
// return data that should be available
// in the template
return {
person: entries.items[0],
posts: posts.items
}
})
.catch(console.error)
}
This works fine and I am able to fetch my blog posts in
<article v-for="post in posts" :key="post">
<h2>{{ post.fields.title }}</h2>
<p>{{ post.fields.content }}</p>
</article>
However, if I generate static pages with Nuxt, I understood the page will still load the latest version of the content from Contentful when live, while instead it just keeps the static content fetched on the pages when generated.
Am I missing the main point here?
Thanks
What you discovered is correct. Nuxt in its current version makes requests to the contentful API when new navigations occur. Afaik there are plans to write the data to disk during build time (e.g. Gatsby does it like that) but these are not implemented yet.
Personally, I'm running my private blog on exactly this tech stack and there is a small time window where static pages and the dynamically loaded part are different. This wasn't a bit problem for me so far. I can understand though that this could cause troubles.
I have an API url http://api.openchargemap.io/v2/poi/?output=json&countrycode=NL&maxresults=10
and I want to display this data in a webpage in a list format. But I have no idea where to start. Can I use JS? Can anyone help?
you can use js but jquery is better and angularjs is the best, i made you an example in jquery
$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajax({
type:"get",
url:"http://api.openchargemap.io/v2/poi/?output=json&countrycode=NL&maxresults=10",
success: function(data){
result="";
for(i in data){
result+="ID: "+data[i].ID+" // UUID: "+data[i].UUID+"<br>";
}
$("#list").html(result);
}
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="list">
</div>
Yes of course you can use Javascript but you need or localhost or some hosting for AJAX . You must use GET to get that information on your webpage . After AJAX you can use innerHTML function or console.log to see your result in console .
I use Muse and I want to be able to share the current URL dynamically. I have achieved this with Facebook and Twitter. However Google Plus is still evading me.
This is the JS code I have been working with.
<script language="javascript">
function gplussharecurrentpage() {
sharelink = "https://plus.google.com/share?url={URL}"+url;
newwindow=window.open(sharelink,'name','height=400,width=600');
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
return false;
}
var url="www.google.co.uk";
googleplusbtn(url);
</script>
I have a button linked to activate the script however it comes back with a this link is not valid.
Any ideas?
When refreshing/reloading a page, the dojo/ready function is not called, so the page is not loaded properly. Sometimes it is working properly; some times not.
window.onload = function() {
setTimeout(function(){document.body.style.opacity="100";},100);
require(["dojo/ready"], function(ready){
ready(function(){
alert("ready");
});
});
};
This is my window onload code. Sometimes I am getting the alert ready, sometimes not. I cannot figure out the issue.
Thanks in advance
I'd suggest to not use window.onload.
Instead, include your script as a js file like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/appRoot/js/my.js"></script>
Then in your my.js file:
require([ "dojo", "dojo/domReady!" ], function(dojo) {
// Code in here will be run only when the page is ready.
});
I am using this with dojo 1.7, but this is valid through 1.9.
See also the dojo/domReady! documentation.
Is there a script to make the browser refresh when a page is re-sized? More specifically, one that emulates the browser refresh button or F5? I've found two, but they don't quite do what I'm looking for;
<script type="text/javascript">
var currheight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
window.onresize = function(){
if(currheight != document.documentElement.clientHeight) {
location.replace(location.href);
}
}
</script>
and
<body onResize="window.location=window.location;">
The problem with these two is they appear to completely reset the page where as using the browsers refresh function leaves some user made changes intact (like being at a specific hash for instance) which is what I need.
So is there a way to refresh the window on re-size with a script similar to if the browser refresh was clicked? I don't understand why there is even a difference but there is.
Thanks.
Yes, you probably want to take a look at some JavaScript events. There is an OnResize event.
Here's a link to get you started with events:
http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/JavaScript/OnReset-OnResize-and-Other-JavaScript-Events/
As far as reloading the page, you can do that too:
http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/javascript/page/reload.html
As far as keeping the user values, you could persist them in a session.
Here is the perfect solution :
I have included timeout of 1 sec i.e. browser will refresh after 1 sec of window resize
$(window).resize(function() {
setTimeout( function(){
window.location.href = window.location.href;
},1000);
});
Without timeout
$(window).resize(function() {
window.location.href = window.location.href;
});
NOTE : You may also use window.location.reload() instead of window.location.href = window.location.href
window.location.reload() reloads the current page with POST data, whilewindow.location.href=window.location.href does not include the POST data
-- hope it helps
Try this:
<![if !IE]> <body onresize="document.location=window.location;"> <![endif]>
<!--[if IE]> <body onresize="window.location.reload();"> <![endif]-->
