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')
}
}
}
}
