Content Grouping

    Hi,

    I’d like to do a specialized content grouping following the example shown here: https://dcarlbom.com/google-analytics/content-grouping-with-wordpress-and-google-analytics/#gref

    I’ve set all this up, and it works in Tag Manager Preview but I think the parameters are not being passed to Tag Manager because the push happens after the tag manager code.

    I’ve tried placing my script before yours but that doesn’t work.

    It looks like placement needs to after your datalayer script but before the google tag manager code.

    Any thoughts on how I might make this work? (Apologies in advance, as I’m not a programmer).

    Best,
    Glenn

    <script>
    dataLayer = [{“title”:”Converse Annual Fund 2016-17″,”author”:”Glenn Abel”,”wordcount”:249,”logged_in”:”false”,”page_id”:209,”post_date”:”2015-09-28 15:33:12″}];
    </script>
    <!– Google Tag Manager –>
    <noscript><iframe src=”//www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-N6845M” height=”0″ width=”0″ style=”display:none;visibility:hidden”></iframe></noscript>
    <script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({‘gtm.start’:
    new Date().getTime(),event:’gtm.js’});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
    j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!=’dataLayer’?’&l=’+l:”;j.async=true;j.src=
    ‘//www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id=’+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
    })(window,document,’script’,’dataLayer’,’GTM-N6845M’);</script>

    <script>
    var dataLayer = window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
    dataLayer.push({‘pageType’: ‘Page’})
    </script>

    If you remove this line, it should work.

    var dataLayer = window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];

    Thank you so much for the advice and the prompt reply. I appreciate it.

    I’ve removed this line. I can’t see this in real time mode, but will look tomorrow to see if it’s working.

    Again, Thank YOU!

    If you use Chrome, you can use this extension to see your tags in real time.

    Thanks Ronald!

    Looks like it’s working, according to what I see in the Data Layer, using the extension.

    Really appreciate it!

    Looks like this didn’t work after all.

    This gets populated into the datalayer after the pageview, so google analytics is showing the content grouping as undefined.

    Any ideas?

    I think if I can change your code to print:

    dataLayer.push({“title”:”Converse College”,”author”:”Glenn Abel”,”wordcount”:1025,”logged_in”:”true”,”page_id”:595,”post_date”:”2015-09-29 14:39:14″})

    instead of:

    dataLayer = [{“title”:”Converse College”,”author”:”Glenn Abel”,”wordcount”:1025,”logged_in”:”true”,”page_id”:595,”post_date”:”2015-09-29 14:39:14″}];

    I could get this to work correctly

    How would I need to change your code to make this happen? I think this is the line that’s producing this output?

    echo sprintf( ‘dataLayer = [%s];’, json_encode( $data_layer_array ) ) . “\n”;

    Thanks!

    Can you in the settings panel for the plugin add the variable and value? That should push it as GTM loads.
