EXS-LanderTrackingHouseBundle
, (*1)
What is this bundle doing ?
This bundle searches for tracking parameters in the request., (*2)
Stores the tracking parameters in cookies., (*3)
And then add those tracking parameters to any url using Formatter services., (*4)
Installation
Download the bundle using composer, (*5)
$ composer require exs/lander-tracking-house-bundle
Enable the bundle, (*6)
<?php
// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
$bundles = array(
// ...
new EXS\LanderTrackingHouseBundle\EXSLanderTrackingHouseBundle(),
// ...
);
}
Configuration
The cmp, exid and visit parameters have a default value configurable with those configuration keys :, (*7)
# Default values.
exs_lander_tracking_house:
default_cmp: ~
default_exid: 'exid'
default_visit: 1
Usage
Use the appendTracking Twig filter on any url.
If the user have got the required tracking parameters, the tracking parameters will be added., (*8)
<a href="{{ 'https://www.foo.tld/bar' | appendTracking('foo') }}" target="_blank">Some link</a>
<a href="{{ url('homepage') | appendTracking('foo') }}" target="_blank">Some link</a>
Replace placeholders
<a href="{{ url('homepage', {'cmp': '{cmp}', 'exid': '{exid}'}) | appendTracking }}" target="_blank">Some link</a>
<a href="{{ 'https://www.foo.tld/bar?cmp={cmp}&exid={exid}&visit={visit}' | appendTracking }}" target="_blank">Some link</a>
Use getTracking('parameterName') Twig function to get any tracking parameter.
<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="{{ getTracking('foo') }}">
-
cmp searches for the parameter named cmp in the request or the cookies.
This parameter contains the cmp's value and is extracted as internal parameter cmp.
If not found it will define a default value using exs_lander_tracking_house.default_cmp configuration's parameter.
-
cup searches for the parameter named cup in the request. This parameter contains a string composed of {cmp}~{exid}~{product_id} and is extracted as internal parameters cmp, exid and product_id.
-
cu searches for the parameter named cu in the request. This parameter contains a string composed of {cmp}~{exid} and is extracted as internal parameters cmp and exid.
-
cuvp searches for the parameter named cuvp in the request. This parameter contains a string composed of {cmp}~{exid}~{visit}~{product_id} and is extracted as internal parameters cmp, exid, visit and product_id.
-
cuv searches for the parameter named cuv in the request. This parameter contains a string composed of {cmp}~{exid}~{visit} and is extracted as internal parameters cmp, exid and visit.
-
exid searches for the parameter named exid or u or uuid in the request or cookies (Will use the first match).
This parameter contains the exid's value and is extracted as internal parameters exid.
If not found it will define a default value using exs_lander_tracking_house.default_exid configuration's parameter.
-
product_id searches for the parameter named p in the request. This parameter contains the product_id's value and is extracted as internal parameters product_id.
-
uvp searches for the parameter named uvp in the request. This parameter contains a string composed of {exid}~{visit}~{product_id} and is extracted as internal parameters exid, visit and product_id.
-
uv searches for the parameter named uv in the request. This parameter contains a string composed of {exid}~{visit} and is extracted as internal parameters exid and visit.
-
visit searches for the parameter named visit in the request or cookies.
This parameter contains the visit's value and is extracted as internal parameters visit.
If not found it will define a default value using exs_lander_tracking_house.default_visit configuration's parameter.
-
cup will use cmp, exid and product_id internal parameters to append the parameter cup composed of {cmp}~{exid}~{product_id}.
-
cu will use cmp and exid internal parameters to append the parameter cu composed of {cmp}~{exid}.
-
cuvp will use cmp, exid, visit and product_id internal parameters to append the parameter cuvp composed of {cmp}~{exid}~{visit}~{product_id}.
-
cuv will use cmp, exid and visit internal parameters to append the parameter cuv composed of {cmp}~{exid}~{visit}.
-
uvp will use exid, visit and product_id internal parameters to append the parameter uvp composed of {exid}~{visit}~{product_id}.
-
uv will use exid and visit internal parameters to append the parameter uv composed of {exid}~{visit}.
The bundle uses extracter services to find and get tracking parameters from the request, the cookies and/or define default value., (*9)
Those services have to implement EXS\LanderTrackingHouseBundle\Service\TrackingParameterManager\TrackingParameterQueryExtracterInterface and/or EXS\LanderTrackingHouseBundle\Service\TrackingParameterManager\TrackingParameterCookieExtracterInterface and/or EXS\LanderTrackingHouseBundle\Service\TrackingParameterManager\TrackingParameterInitializerInterface., (*10)
All those methods have to return a key/value array of tracking parameters found that will be saved in cookies., (*11)
Example :
<?php
namespace My\SomeBundle\Service;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\ParameterBag;
use EXS\LanderTrackingHouseBundle\Service\TrackingParameterManager\TrackingParameterCookieExtracterInterface;
use EXS\LanderTrackingHouseBundle\Service\TrackingParameterManager\TrackingParameterQueryExtracterInterface;
use EXS\LanderTrackingHouseBundle\Service\TrackingParameterManager\TrackingParameterInitializerInterface;
class FooExtracter implements TrackingParameterCookieExtracterInterface, TrackingParameterQueryExtracterInterface, TrackingParameterInitializerInterface
{
public function extractFromQuery(ParameterBag $query)
{
$trackingParameters = [];
if (null !== $foo = $query->get('foo')) {
$trackingParameters['foo'] = $foo;
}
return $trackingParameters;
}
public function extractFromCookies(ParameterBag $cookies)
{
$trackingParameters = [];
if (null !== $foo = $cookies->get('foo')) {
$trackingParameters['foo'] = $foo;
}
return $trackingParameters;
}
public function initialize()
{
return [
'foo' => 123,
];
}
}
Important thing to notice here : All keys from the array returned by an extractFromQuery(), extractFromCookies() and initialise() will be stored as a cookie., (*12)
In the example ahead, a cookie named foo will be stored with the value found in query or in cookies or else will define the default value., (*13)
services:
exs_tracking.foo_extracter:
class: 'My\SomeBundle\Service\FooExtracter'
tags:
- { name: 'exs_tracking.parameter_extracter' }
In case many extracters have an initialise() method defined, we can specify a priority to know which default value to use (Higher value wins)., (*14)
services:
exs_tracking.foo_extracter:
class: 'My\SomeBundle\Service\FooExtracter'
tags:
- { name: 'exs_tracking.parameter_extracter', priotiry: 100 }
The bundle uses formatter services to get the parameters to append to an url., (*15)
Those services have to implements EXS\LanderTrackingHouseBundle\Service\TrackingParameterManager\TrackingParameterFormatterInterface., (*16)
They have to implement a format() method that will receive a ParameterBag containing all found tracking parameters from the request., (*17)
And it will need to return a key/value array of all formatted parameters to append to the url., (*18)
Those services also have to be tagged as exs_tracking.parameter_formatter., (*19)
See EXS\LanderTrackingHouseBundle\Service\TrackingParameterManager\CmpTrackingParameterFormatter for an example of formatter., (*20)
By convention formatter service's name is exs_tracking.xxxsomethingxxx_formatter., (*21)
Example :
<?php
namespace My\SomeBundle\Service;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\ParameterBag;
use EXS\LanderTrackingHouseBundle\Service\TrackingParameterManager\TrackingParameterFormatterInterface;
class FooFormatter implements TrackingParameterFormatterInterface
{
public function format(ParameterBag $trackingParameters)
{
return [
'foo' => $trackingParameters->get('foo'),
];
}
}
services:
exs_tracking.foo_formatter:
class: 'My\SomeBundle\Service\FooFormatter'
tags:
- { name: 'exs_tracking.parameter_formatter' }
3. Usage
As seen before, je just now need to use the Twig filter appendParameter on any url and the foo parameter will be added if defined., (*22)
<a href="{{ 'http://www.test.tld/' | appendParameter('foo') }}">Some link</a>
<!-- or -->
<a href="{{ 'http://www.test.tld/?foo={foo}' | appendParameter}}">Some link</a>
