jamesyu / cohorts Goto Github PK

$('p.message').click(function () {
hello-goodbye.event('Clicked on message'); // Track any evens with your storage adapter
});

Isn't this loaded every time page is loaded. Also can we track goal conversions using this?

Hi @jamesyu,

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say thanks for creating and open-sourcing cohorts. I ended up creating a different open-source project heavily influenced by it, so I thought I'll let you know.

It's called AlephBet and available on github.

I'd really appreciate any feedback.

Thanks for the code! Wondering if there is a limit to the number of experiments we can run, since we're using cookies ? Also, aren't cookies sent to the server all the time, wasting bandwidth ?

Hi

I have found a bug on websites running any version of prototype.js
The bug occurs in the Utils.size method were it returns 37 on an object with two "custom" properties (two cohorts).
(It should return 2, as it does on a website without prototype)

The fix is easy:
size: function(object) {
return Object.keys(object).length
},

Typically, most experimentation platforms will look at unique visitors and unique conversions. This is important because people may be influenced by a particular change in any one of their visit sessions to the site.

Basically, we need to update the storage adapter to capture this data:

_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar',{slot},{name},{value},{scope}],['_trackEvent'...]);

I suggest we allow for setting the {scope} and setting the {slot}. The name and the value can be pre-filled using the test parameters. Note it must be called before _trackEvent().
