I'm would like to do a 2 step process without the user knowing. Right now when the user click on the link from another page.
URL redirect to run some JavaScript function that updates the database.
Then pass the variable to view a document.
User clicks on this link from another page
Here is some of code in the JavaScript file:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function(){
var auditObject ="";
var audit_rec = {};
var redirLink = "";
if(document.URL.indexOf('?1w') > -1 {
redirLink = "https://www.wikipedia.org/";
auditObject = redirLink;
audit_rec.action = "OPEN";
audit_rec.object = auditObject;
audit_rec.object_type = "WINDOW";
audit_rec.status = "Y";
window.open(redirLink);
} else {
audit_rec.target = /MyServlet;
audit_rec.action = "OPEN";
audit_rec.object = TESTSITE;
audit_rec.object_type = "WINDOW";
audit_rec.status = "Y";
}
function audit(audit_rec) {
var strObject = audit_rec.object;
strObject = strObject.toLowerCase();
var strCategory = "";
if (strObject.indexOf("wiki") > -1) {
strCategory = "Wiki";
} else if strObject.indexOf("test") > -1) {
strCategory = "TEST Home Page";
}
//Send jQuery AJAX request to audit the user event.
$.post(audit_rec.target, {
ACTION_DATE : String(Date.now()),
DOMAIN : "TESTSITE",
ACTION : audit_rec.action,
OBJECT : audit_rec.object,
OBJECT_TYPE : audit_rec.object_type,
STATUS : audit_rec.status
});
}
//TEST initial page load.
audit(audit_rec);
}
</script>
Can someone help? Thanks
You could give your link a class or ID such as
<a id="doclink" href="http://website.com/docviewer.html?docId=ABC%2Fguide%3A%2F%2F'||i.guide||'">'||i.docno||'</a>
then use javascript to intercept it and run your ajax script to update the database. Here's how you'd do it in jQuery:
$('#doclink').click(function(e) {
var linkToFollow = $(this).attr('href');
e.preventDefault();
yourAjaxFunction(parameters, function() {
location.href = linkToFollow;
});
});
where the function containing the redirect is a callback function after your ajax script completes. This stops the link from being followed until you've run your ajax script.
if your question is to hide the parameters Here is the Answer
you just use input type as hidden the code like this
'||i.docno||'
Tried to retrieve page url (Jforms EMAIL option) after form submission but form_data:page_url
variable doesn't produce any output at the email.
form_data:page_title doesn't either. There is a Javascript which I believe retrieve URL. I have tried to use Alert(vhref) at the bottom of the script and it return URL pointing to the existing form at the popup window. I need it to be URL of submission result form which is automatically appear (Redirect to->Submitted data 'event') on the screen after form submission. My objective is to have this URL to be included into the email sent. Joomla 3.4.3 , JForms 0.4.4

I am using the following script to redirect visitors of a page to another page on first visit, however it loads the index.html page first, and then triggers the redirect. Can anyone point me in the direction of how I might trigger this script before the page loads?
<script type="text/javascript">
function redirect(){
var thecookie = readCookie('doRedirect');
if(!thecookie){window.location = '/coming-soon.html';
}}
function createCookie(name,value,days){if (days){
var date = new Date();date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
}
else var expires = "";document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
}
function readCookie(name){
var nameEQ = name + "=";var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++){
var c = ca[i];while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);}
return null;
}
window.onload = function(){redirect();createCookie('doRedirect','true','1');}
</script>
(the JS snippet used here was taken from Stack Overflow: JS to redirect to a splash page on first visit)
Thanks.
You don't need to wait while window is loaded:
<script type="text/javascript">
var thecookie = readCookie('doRedirect');
if(!thecookie) {
createCookie('doRedirect','true','1');
window.location = '/coming-soon.html';
};
function createCookie(name,value,days){
// do work
}
function readCookie(name){
// do work
}
</script>
Also Petr B. said right thing: server-side redirect is better in your case.
Try this How to Run a jQuery or JavaScript Before Page Start to Load.
Btw. if you want redirect without displaying page you must use php with cookies check.
I can get the code to pop-up both alert but redirecting is not working. After adding an item it should redirect.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
fields = init_fields();
// Where to go when cancel is clicked
goToWhenCanceled = '/test/English/YouCanceled.aspx';
// Edit the redirect on the cancel-button's
$('.ms-ButtonHeightWidth[id$="GoBack"]').each(function(){
$(this).click(function(){
STSNavigate(goToWhenCanceled);
})
});
// Edit the form-action attribute to add the source=yourCustomRedirectPage
function setOnSubmitRedir(redirURL){
var action = $("#aspnetForm").attr('action');
var end = action.indexOf('&');
if(action.indexOf('&')<0){
newAction = action + "?Source=" + redirURL;
}else{
newAction = action.substring(0,end) + "&Source=" + redirURL;
}
$("#aspnetForm").attr('action',newAction);
alert(redirURL);
}
/*
// Use this for adding a "static" redirect when the user submits the form
$(document).ready(function(){
var goToWhenSubmitted = '/test/English/ThankYou.aspx';
setOnSubmitRedir(goToWhenSubmitted);
});
*/
// Use this function to add a dynamic URL for the OnSubmit-redirect. This function is automatically executed before save item.
function PreSaveAction(){
// Pass a dynamic redirect URL to the function by setting it here,
// for example based on certain selections made in the form fields like this:
var dynamicRedirect = '/surveys/Pages/ThankYou.aspx';
// Call the function and set the redirect URL in the form-action attribute
setOnSubmitRedir(dynamicRedirect);
alert(dynamicRedirect);
// This function must return true for the save item to happen
return true;
}
function init_fields(){
var res = {};
$("td.ms-formbody").each(function(){
if($(this).html().indexOf('FieldInternalName="')<0) return;
var start = $(this).html().indexOf('FieldInternalName="')+19;
var stopp = $(this).html().indexOf('FieldType="')-7;
var nm = $(this).html().substring(start,stopp);
res[nm] = this.parentNode;
});
return res;
}
</script>
If you set window.location.href = 'SomeUrl' at any point, it should redirect right then. Looking at your code, I dont see that anywhere.
At what point are you trying to redirect?
I'm pretty new to javascript, and therein probably lies my problem. I'm trying to track AdWords conversions that occur within a widget on our site. The user fills in a form and the result from the widget is published in the same div without a page refresh. The issue I'm having is when I try to appendChild (or append in jQuery) both script elements in Google's code (shown below) the page gets 302 redirected to a blank Google page (or at least that's what it looks like through FireBug).
I'm able to provide a callback method for the results of the form, and that's where I'm trying to insert the AdWords tracking code. For reference, this is the code provided by Google:
<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
var google_conversion_id = 993834405;
var google_conversion_language = "en";
var google_conversion_format = "3";
var google_conversion_color = "ffffff";
var google_conversion_label = "bSpUCOP9iAIQpevy2QM";
/* ]]> */
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js">
</script>
<noscript>
<div style="display:inline;">
<img height="1" width="1" style="border-style:none;" alt="" src="http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/993834405/?label=bSpUCOP9iAIQpevy2QM&guid=ON&script=0"/>
</div>
</noscript>
Pretty standard stuff. So, what I'm trying to do is insert this into the results page using the callback method (which is provided). Frankly, I'm redirected no matter when I try to insert this code using js or jQuery (either on original page load or in the callback) so maybe the callback bit is irrelevant, but it's why I'm not just pasting it into the page's code.
I've tried a number of different ways to do this, but here's what I currently have (excuse the sloppiness. Just trying to hack my way through this at the moment!):
function matchResultsCallback(data){
var scriptTag = document.createElement('script');
scriptTag.type = "text/javascript";
scriptTag.text = scriptTag.text + "/* <![CDATA[ */\n";
scriptTag.text = scriptTag.text + "var google_conversion_id \= 993834405\;\n";
scriptTag.text = scriptTag.text + "var google_conversion_language \= \"en\"\;\n";
scriptTag.text = scriptTag.text + "var google_conversion_format \= \"3\"\;\n";
scriptTag.text = scriptTag.text + "var google_conversion_color \= \"ffffff\"\;\n";
scriptTag.text = scriptTag.text + "var google_conversion_label \= \"bSpUCOP9iAIQpevy2QM\"\;\n";
scriptTag.text = scriptTag.text + "/* ]]> */\n";
$('body').append(scriptTag);
$('body').append("<script type\=\"text\/javascript\" src\=\"http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js\" />");
//I have also tried this bit above using the same method as 'scriptTag' with no luck, this is just the most recent iteration.
var scriptTag2 = document.createElement('noscript');
var imgTag = document.createElement('img');
imgTag.height = 1;
imgTag.width = 1;
imgTag.border = 0;
imgTag.src = "http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/993834405/?label=bSpUCOP9iAIQpevy2QM&guid=ON&script=0";
$('body').append(scriptTag2);
$('noscript').append(imgTag);
}
The really odd thing is that when I only insert one of the script tags (it doesn't matter which one), it doesn't redirect. It only redirects when I try to insert both of them.
I've also tried putting the first script tag into the original page code (as it's not making any calls anywhere, it's just setting variables) and just inserting the conversions.js file and it still does the redirect.
If it's relevant I'm using Firefox 3.6.13, and have tried the included code with both jQuery 1.3 and 1.5 (after realizing we were using v1.3).
I know I'm missing something! Any suggestions?
Nowadays it is convenient to use the Asynchronous Tag at http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion_async.js that exposes the window.google_trackConversion function.
This function can be used at any time. For example after submitting a form, like in your case.
See https://developers.google.com/adwords-remarketing-tag/asynchronous/
Update 2018
Situation changed and it seems that you have more options now with the gtag.js: https://developers.google.com/adwords-remarketing-tag/
If you're using jQuery in your pages, why don't you use the getScript method of the same to poll the conversion tracking script after setting the required variables?
This is what I usually do, once I've received a success response from my AJAX calls.
var google_conversion_id = <Your ID Here>;
var google_conversion_language = "en";
var google_conversion_format = "3";
var google_conversion_color = "ffffff";
var google_conversion_label = "<Your Label here>";
var google_conversion_value = 0;
if (100) {
google_conversion_value = <Your value here if any>;
}
$jQ.getScript( "http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js" );
This works just fine for me. If you want a more detailed example:
$.ajax({
async: true,
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
url: <Your URL>,
data: _data,
success: function( json ) {
// Do something
// ...
// Track conversion
var google_conversion_id = <Your ID Here>;
var google_conversion_language = "en";
var google_conversion_format = "3";
var google_conversion_color = "ffffff";
var google_conversion_label = "<Your Label here>";
var google_conversion_value = 0;
if (100) {
google_conversion_value = <Your value here if any>;
}
$.getScript( "http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js" );
} // success
});
If you use other libraries such as Mootools or Prototype, I'm sure they have similar in-built methods. This AFAIK is one of the cleanest approaches.
this simple code worked for me (the $.getScript version didn't).
var image = new Image(1,1);
image.src = 'http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/' + id + '/?label=' + label + ' &guid=ON&script=0';
// This takes care of it for jQuery. Code can be easily adapted for other javascript libraries:
function googleTrackingPixel() {
// set google variables as globals
window.google_conversion_id = 1117861175
window.google_conversion_language = "en"
window.google_conversion_format = "3"
window.google_conversion_color = "ffffff"
window.google_conversion_label = "Ll49CJnRpgUQ9-at5QM"
window.google_conversion_value = 0
var oldDocWrite = document.write // save old doc write
document.write = function(node){ // change doc write to be friendlier, temporary
$("body").append(node)
}
$.getScript("http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js", function() {
setTimeout(function() { // let the above script run, then replace doc.write
document.write = oldDocWrite
}, 100)
})
}
// and you would call it in your script on the event like so:
$("button").click( function() {
googleTrackingPixel()
})
In your Adwords account - if you change the conversion tracking event to "Click" instead of "Page Load" it will provide you with code that creates a function. It creates a snippet like this:
<!-- Google Code for Developer Contact Form Conversion Page
In your html page, add the snippet and call
goog_report_conversion when someone clicks on the
chosen link or button. -->
<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
goog_snippet_vars = function() {
var w = window;
w.google_conversion_id = <Your ID Here>;
w.google_conversion_label = "<Your value here if any>";
w.google_remarketing_only = false;
}
// DO NOT CHANGE THE CODE BELOW.
goog_report_conversion = function(url) {
goog_snippet_vars();
window.google_conversion_format = "3";
window.google_is_call = true;
var opt = new Object();
opt.onload_callback = function() {
if (typeof(url) != 'undefined') {
window.location = url;
}
}
var conv_handler = window['google_trackConversion'];
if (typeof(conv_handler) == 'function') {
conv_handler(opt);
}
}
/* ]]> */
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="//www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion_async.js">
</script>
Then in your code you just call:
goog_report_conversion();
Or for a link or image click:
click here
After trying everything the link Funka provided (http://articles.adamwrobel.com/2010/12/23/trigger-adwords-conversion-on-javascript-event) was what worked for me. Like he said it's scary to overwrite document.write, but
It seems like this is what you have to do unless you can load the script before the page load.
Since the script uses document.write so it needs to be re-written
document.write = function(node){ // exactly what document.write should of been doing..
$("body").append(node);
}
window.google_tag_params = {
prodid: pageId,
pagetype: pageTypes[pageType] || "",
value: "234324342"
};
window.google_conversion_id = 2324849237;
window.google_conversion_label = "u38234j32423j432kj4";
window.google_custom_params = window.google_tag_params;
window.google_remarketing_only = true;
$.getScript("http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js")
.done(function() {
// script is loaded.
});
See https://gist.github.com/c7a316972128250d278c
As you have seen, the google conversion tag only calls on a redraw. I had to make sure it was called when a part of a page was redrawn. (Due to some bad website design that I could not fix at the moment.) So I wrote a function to call from an onClick event.
Essentially, all you have to do is to call doConversion();
Here is what we ended up with:
// gothelp from from http://www.ewanheming.com/2012/01/web-analytics/website-tracking/adwords-page-event-conversion-tracking
var Goal = function(id, label, value, url) {
this.id = id;
this.label = label;
this.value = value;
this.url = url;
};
function trackAdWordsConversion(goal, callback) {
// Create an image
var img = document.createElement("img");
// An optional callback function to run follow up processed after the conversion has been tracked
if(callback && typeof callback === "function") {
img.onload = callback;
}
// Construct the tracking beacon using the goal parameters
var trackingUrl = "http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/"+goal.id;
trackingUrl += "/?random="+new Date().getMilliseconds();
trackingUrl += "&value="+goal.value;
trackingUrl += "&label="+goal.label;
trackingUrl += "&guid=ON&script=0&url="+encodeURI(goal.url);
img.src = trackingUrl;
// Add the image to the page
document.body.appendChild(img);
// Don't display the image
img.style = "display: none;";
}
function linkClick(link, goal) {
try {
// A function to redirect the user after the conversion event has been sent
var linkClickCallback = function() {
window.location = link.href;
};
// Track the conversion
trackAdWordsConversion(goal, linkClickCallback);
// Don't keep the user waiting too long in case there are problems
setTimeout(linkClickCallback, 1000);
// Stop the default link click
return false;
} catch(err) {
// Ensure the user is still redirected if there's an unexpected error in the code
return true;
}
}
function doConversion() {
var g = new Goal(YOUR CODE,YOUR_COOKIE,0.0,location.href);
return linkClick(this,g);
}
I tried all the ways to manually include conversion.js, it all loaded the script, but didn't further execute what we needed inside the script, there's a simple solution.
Just put your conversion code in a separate HTML, and load it in an iframe.
I found code to do that at http://www.benjaminkim.com/ that seemed to work well.
function ppcconversion() {
var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
iframe.style.width = '0px';
iframe.style.height = '0px';
document.body.appendChild(iframe);
iframe.src = '/track.html'; // put URL to tracking code here.
};
then just call ppcconversion() wherever in the JS you like to record it.
All I do is return the code (or in our case, an image) along with the "success" message in the callback.
When a contact form is submitted, or a registration form filled out and submitted, we post to a php script using jQuery, then output a "thank-you" message to a div:
"$first_name, Thanks for requesting more information. A representative will contact you shortly."
... followed by the 1x1 gif Google provides.
Here's the jQuery:
$.post('script.php',{'first_name':first_name,'last_name':last_name,'email':email,'phone1':phone1,'password':password,},function(data){
var result=data.split("|");
if(result[0] ==='success'){
$('#return').html(result[1] + $result[2]);
And the php...
echo 'success|'.$first_name.', Thanks for requesting more information.
A representative will contact you shortly.|<img height="1" width="1" alt="" src="http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/xxxxxxxx/imp.gif?value=0&label=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&script=0"/>';
You might need to throw in a "document.location.reload();" if it isn't being picked up by google
For anyone still looking for a good solution to this, Google supports AJAX Conversions natively now through their Google Analytics API.
You can do it by making a event API call in Google Analytics. What you do is setup an Analytics event, tie it to a goal, then import that goal into AdWords as a conversion. It's a bit of a lengthy process but it's a clean solution.

This works for me:
window.google_trackConversion({
google_conversion_id: 000000000,
conversion_label : "xxxxxxxxxxxx",
google_remarketing_only: false,
onload_callback : function(){
//do something :)
}
});
