Track clicks

Describes how to track clicks to generate useful recommendations.

If the user clicks on a Product Recommendations item, the click must be tracked to generate useful recommendations. Two JavaScript functions are available to achieve this.

  • Peerius.smartRecsClick(id) must be called when a product recommendation is clicked and the click takes the customer to a new page.
  • Peerius.smartRecsSendClick(id) should be called if the user stays on the same page following the click. (smartRecsSendClick(id) sends the click to our servers via a background request).

Usage of smartRecsClick(id) is demonstrated in the example below:

window.PeeriusCallbacks= { // utility function to create the html code of a product // using jquery. product:function(json) { var title=json.title var h="<p>"+title+"</p>" h+="<a href='"+json.url+"'>" h+="<img src='"+json.img+"'/>" h+="</a>" var p=$('<div>').html(h) p.click(function() { // extra care to be taken so that the correct recommendation // id is used (for reporting purposes)! Peerius.smartRecsClick(json.id) })return p }, // implementation of the Peerius callback smartRecs:function(jsonArray) { $('<div id="jsonRecs">').html("JSON recommendations").appendTo('.body-content-div') for(i in jsonArray) { var widget=jsonArray[i] for(j in widget) { var json=widget.recs[j] var p=this.product(json) p.appendTo('#jsonRecs') } } } }
