Documentation for installation? about magento1-google-tag-manager

[srenon]

@grantkemp .... can you compile a list of all your questions and I will try to answer them as best as possible?

[grantkemp]

Thanks @srenon - just one question - is there any instructions for how the developer should install the module.
It mentions something in the read me about adding XML - but doesn't specify what XML should be added and to where.

If this is indicated elsewhere- can you link to that location from the readme/ elsewhere?

[srenon]

@grantkemp ... Sorry for the confusion, the only thing you need to do is install the extension and enter your account id in admin.

Advanced users could use layout XML to add additional value to the data layer

Example, if you want the cart to be a high-value page

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="1.0.0">
    <checkout_cart_index>
         <reference name="magepal_gtm_datalayer">
              <action method="addVariable">
                 <name>visitorType</name>
                 <value>high-value</value>
              </action>
        </reference>
    </checkout_cart_index>
</layout>

Hey great module, just one question the datalayer push through the catalog_category_view, catalog_product_view etc rather than product, category, cart etc which is what the google adwords / dynamic remarketing expects. Any ideas @srenon ?

[grantkemp]

Thanks @srenon - I am not seeing the tag manager snippet or the data layer on the site we are testing it on. It might be that the layout has been customized too much. Do you have any ideas of where to look if its not showing up?

We are looking at it today- I will post the result if we find the cause.

@grantkemp .. Did you add your account id and enable the module in Magento admin?

[alex-koepke]

@grantkemp what do you get when you type dataLayer into the console of your browser?
You should see something like the following.

Hi @alex-koepke and @srenon - thanks for the follow up. We had another legacy version of GTM in the code which was overriding it - when we removed it , the snippet code appeared nicely.

I have one more issue though which is the snippets aren't appearing on each of the pages that they should be.
I can't really see the datalayer calls for productImpressions, AddToCart or CheckoutStep - would these need to be hand customized?

It would be excellent to have the basic list of datalayer calls. Then we can add others on our projects and share the code back. (if approved)

The starting ones that I would use are: ( hyperlinked to sample calls)

• Cat Page - Product Impressions
• Cat Page - Product Click
• PDP Page - ProductDetail
• PDP Page - Add to Cart
• Checkout - Checkout Call
• Order Confirmation - Purchase call

After digging into the code - this feels more like a feature request now - so I have added it as a seperate issue #14. Feel free to close this - thanks for the support
