Filter Request

  • Hi! This is my problem: the code contained inside the script tag returned by gtm4wp_get_the_gtm_tag is automatically executed when the browser gets there. I know this is the default behavior (that’s Google’s code). However, I’d like to call that code when I want. In order to do so, I thought I could simply surround that script with a named function, and then call that function when I need to.

    Could you please update the plugin and add a new filter there? This way, right before the variable $_gtm_tag is returned, one can hook edit the return value:

    - return $_gtm_tag;
+ return apply_filters( 'gtm4wp_get_the_gtm_tag', $_gtm_tag );

    Then, I could do something like this:

    add_filter( 'gtm4wp_get_the_gtm_tag', 'nelio_tweak_gtm_tag' );
function nelio_tweak_gtm_tag( $script ) {
  $script = str_replace(
    '<script>', '<script>nelioWrapperFunc() {', $script
  );
  $script = str_replace(
    '</script>', '}</script>', $script
  );
  return $script;
}

    Please, let me know if this is possible. Thank you very much for your time and help!

    Hi,

    To be honest (as always) I do not know what the use case is in your situation. According to the Google docs this tag needs to be placed after the opening body tag therefore wrapping it using a function call could cause unexpected behavior.

    But you know what? Maybe this is just not by business ??
    I added this filter to the development version, the next release will contain it ??

    Cheers,
    Thomas

    Hi,

    I see you updated the plugin, but the filter I requested is not there yet. Is there any option for me to wrap GTM’s function as I originally requested?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    There was not any new release, I just updated that the plugin is compatible with WP 4.1

    I am currently investigating an issue regarding woocommerce integration, this is the reason why it takes so long for the new release.
