Yahoo Conversion Tracking Code

Hi There,
New to Joomla and Chrono forms and loving the Joomla CMS.

So I need to install a Yahoo tracking code on the THANK YOU page of the contact form located throughout the site at: <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.southwesttitleloans.com">www.southwesttitleloans.com</a><!-- w -->. The Yahoo tracking code needs to be installed in the HEAD tags only on the Thank You page that processes the form. I do not currently have a custom thank you page created...it is created dynamically by ChronoForms.

Is there any way to get the Yahoo Conversion code into the head tags of the Thank You page ?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks-
Anita

Hi Anita,

Welcome.

Exactly what do you need to put in the page headers? A meta tag? Or a script snippet like the Google Analytics code? Can you paste an example here or point to the Yahoo docs please.

Bob

Hi Bob,

Thanks so much for your reply.

It's a script snippet like Google's.

Here it is...

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- Yahoo! Inc.
window.ysm_customData = new Object();
window.ysm_customData.conversion = "transId=,currency=,amount=";
var ysm_accountid = "1QJ19L0BRF74LTC8U21BCQGFDKS";
document.write("<SCR" + "IPT language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' "
+ "SRC=//" + "srv3.wa.marketingsolutions.yahoo.com" + "/script/ScriptServlet" + "?aid=" + ysm_accountid
+ "></SCR" + "IPT>");
// -->
</SCRIPT>

Hi anita,

Try this

<?php
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addScriptDeclaration("<!-- Yahoo! Inc.
window.ysm_customData = new Object();
window.ysm_customData.conversion = \"transId=,currency=,amount=\";
var ysm_accountid = \"1QJ19L0BRF74LTC8U21BCQGFDKS\";
document.write(\"<SCR\" + "IPT language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' \"
+ \"SRC=//\" + \"srv3.wa.marketingsolutions.yahoo.com\" + \"/script/ScriptServlet\" + \"?aid=\" + ysm_accountid
+ "></SCR\" + \"IPT>\");");
?>

Though to be honest I'm not sure that the quote escaping will work correctly. If it doesn't we can try another route.

Bob

Bob, fantastic...though I'm not sure exactly where to place. Would it go in the "On Submit code - after sending email" or "On Submit code - before sending email OR in the template head?

p.s. I truly appreciate your kind assistance with this. I hate when I don't know it all😉 and that happens frequently.

Hi Anita, Bob's code goes in the "Form HTML code" Box!

Thank you! Here's hoping😉

Anita

Whoopsie...the form disappeared off the site (<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.southwesttitleloans.com">www.southwesttitleloans.com</a><!-- w -->) when I added the code😟.

I had to take it off.

Any other suggestions?

Anita

Hi, try this code, it has a lot of slashes!!

    <?php
    $doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
    $doc->addScriptDeclaration("<!-- Yahoo! Inc.
    window.ysm_customData = new Object();
    window.ysm_customData.conversion = \"transId=,currency=,amount=\";
    var ysm_accountid = \"1QJ19L0BRF74LTC8U21BCQGFDKS\";
    document.write(\"<SCR\" + \"IPT language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' \"
    + \"SRC=//\" + \"srv3.wa.marketingsolutions.yahoo.com\" + \"/script/ScriptServlet\" + \"?aid=\" + ysm_accountid
    + \"></SCR\" + \"IPT>\");");
    ?>

Hi Anita,

Apologies, I missed a couple of slashes - I think Max has found them all.

If you want to show this *after* conversion, then it needs to go in one of the OnSubmit boxes - then it will show up on the ThankYou page provided that you are not using a ReDirect URL.

Bob

Thank you Max and Bob. The form is still there, now it's just a wait & see on the conversions. Once again I just want to thank you for your time in helping me troubleshoot this custom need for our client.

Anita

No problems! 🙂
