592104 - Modify Webtrends Tags to Track Offsite Links

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Laura Forrest]

Please make the following 2 changes to the javascript include files of these sites to allow us to track offsite link click information within Webtrends:

-Mozilla.com
-Mozilla.org
-Mozilla-Europe.org
-Addons.mozilla.com

Step 1 -- Add last line pointed out by the brackets below (do not include brackets) to the following function:

WebTrends.prototype.dcsET = function() {

    var e = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1) ? "click": "mousedown";

    this.dcsBind(e, this.dcsDownload);

    this.dcsBind("contextmenu", this.dcsRightClick);

   [Add this line START -->] this.dcsBind(e, this.dcsOffsite); [<-- END]

}

 

Step 2 – Insert this function AFTER "WebTrends.prototype.dcsSplit=function(list){" function

// Code section for Track clicks to links leading offsite.

WebTrends.prototype.dcsOffsite=function(evt){

                evt=evt||(window.event||"");

                if (evt&&((typeof(evt.which)!="number")||(evt.which==1))){

                                var e=this.dcsEvt(evt,"A");

                                if (e.href){

                                    var hn=e.hostname?(e.hostname.split(":")[0]):"";

                                    var pr=e.protocol||"";

                                    if ((hn.length>0)&&(pr.indexOf("http")==0)&&!this.dcsIsOnsite(hn)){

                                                    var qry=e.search?e.search.substring(e.search.indexOf("?")+1,e.search.length):"";

                                                    var pth=e.pathname?((e.pathname.indexOf("/")!=0)?"/"+e.pathname:e.pathname):"/";

                                                    this.dcsMultiTrack("DCS.dcssip", hn, "DCS.dcsuri", pth, "DCS.dcsqry", this.trimoffsiteparams ? "" : qry, "DCS.dcsref", window.location, "WT.ti", "Offsite:" + hn + pth + (qry.length ? ("?" + qry) : ""), "WT.dl", "24", "WT.nv", this.dcsNavigation(evt));

                                    }

                                }

                }

}

This code will also need to be added. Here are an additional 3 steps for a total of 5 modifications. These instructions come via Webtrends - let me know if you have any questions:


Modify the base include code:
Step 1 -- Add last line of code to the following function:
function WebTrends(){
	var that=this;
	// begin: user modifiable
	this.dcsid="dcsdkzffivz5bduxv7m68vd6u_0000";
	this.domain="statse.webtrendslive.com";
	this.timezone=-8;
	this.fpcdom="";
	this.adclickparam="WT.ac";

Step 2 – Insert this function AFTER "WebTrends.prototype.dcsFPC=function(){" function
// Code section for Generate an Ad View query parameter for every Ad Click link.
WebTrends.prototype.dcsAdSearch=function(){
	if (document.links){
		var param=this.adclickparam+"=";
		var paramlen=param.length;
		var paramre=new RegExp(param,"i");
		var len=document.links.length;
		var pos=end=-1;
		var anch=urlp=value="";
		var urlpre;
		var url=document.URL+"";
		var start=url.search(paramre);
		if (start!=-1){
			end=url.indexOf("&",start);
			urlp=url.substring(start,(end!=-1)?end:url.length);
			urlpre=new RegExp(urlp+"(&|#)","i");
		}
		for (var i=0;i<len;i++){
			if (document.links[i].href){
				anch=document.links[i].href+"";
				if (urlp.length>0){
					anch=anch.replace(urlpre,"$1");
				}
				pos=anch.search(paramre);
				if (pos!=-1){
					start=pos+paramlen;
					end=anch.indexOf("&",start);
					value=anch.substring(start,(end!=-1)?end:anch.length);
					this.WT.ad=this.WT.ad?(this.WT.ad+";"+value):value;
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Step 3 -- Add the last line to the following function:
WebTrends.prototype.dcsAdv=function(){
	this.dcsFPC();
	this.dcsAdSearch();
}

I can follow these directions to edit the existing js file but I'm concerned about possibly making a mistake.  Is regenerating the tag and dropping a new js file in place an option?

Closing this bug - turns out these changes can't be made across all sites at once. Will follow up with David B. and Webtrends.
