Facebook Pixel Code

[NormanRouxel]

Using Chrome's Pixel helper that shows the price as NETQUOTEVAR:

That's exactly what happens on the SD 2018 Beta too!

I guess that SellerDeck don't know that you can't just put <Actinic:Variable Name="Total"/> into a layout that you just plonk into the HEAD of the Receipt page (and other overall layouts).

I think it only works if it's placed in the Checkpout Shopping Cart Grid pages between <Actinic:XMLTEMPLATE NAME="ShoppingCart"> and </Actinic:XMLTEMPLATE>

And that the Perl scripts that generate the total return a price like £30.24 as &#38;#163;30&#38;#46;24
and Facebook won't be happy with that.

For Jonathan. Replace:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Receipt%22" >
	fbq('track', 'Purchase', {value: '<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="Total" selectable="false" />', currency: 'GBP'});
</actinic:block>

With:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Receipt%22" >
	fbq('track', 'Purchase', {value: '<actinic:variable name="OrderTotalBaseUnit" />', currency: 'GBP'});
</actinic:block>

A P.S. for SellerDeck. Variable <actinic:variablename="OrderTotalBaseUnit" /> will also work on SD 2018's Facebook Pixel Code layout (for the Receipt line). It won't work on the Checkout Page 0 line.

EDITED 15-02-18 to fix typo.

For Jonathan. Replace:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Receipt%22" >
	fbq('track', 'Purchase', {value: '<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="Total" selectable="false" />', currency: 'GBP'});
</actinic:block>

With:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Receipt%22" >
	fbq('track', 'Purchase', {value: '<actinic:variablename="OrderTotalBaseUnit" />', currency: 'GBP'});
</actinic:block>

A P.S. for SellerDeck. Variable <actinic:variablename="OrderTotalBaseUnit" /> will also work on SD 2018's Facebook Pixel Code layout (for the Receipt line). It won't work on the Checkout Page 0 line.

Thank you very much Norman! I'll plop this on our pixel today as well.

Further teaser - it may not be a million miles from what I posted initially:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Receipt%22" >
	fbq('track', 'Purchase', {value: '<actinic:variable name="Total" />', currency: 'GBP'});
</actinic:block>

Code in your post #19 will only work if placed within the Checkout Shopping Cart Grid layout.

Code using OrderTotalBaseUnit will work anywhere within the Receipt page.

Thanks Norman - our posts got out of sync.,

We'd need to know where you've put the FP Pixel code.

[NormanRouxel]

Error in my post #17 - apologies

<actinic:variablename="OrderTotalBaseUnit" />

Should be

<actinic:variable name="OrderTotalBaseUnit" />

I''l fix it now.

Thank you Norman, your code is perfect:

I tend to put all my schema stuff and the pixel code in the Standard Meta Tags Layout.

[MattSMR]

Good results from us here as well - now correctly tracking conversion value!

Do we need to bill SellerDeck for the community fix for SD2018?

Thanks Jonathan & Norman - great collaboration all around.

I am now retro fitting this to a client v14 site.
v14 does not have the variable:

<actinic:variable name="OrderTotalBaseUnit" />

Would this work?

fbq('track', 'Purchase', {value: '<actinic:block php="true">echo preg_replace('/[^\d\.]/', '', '<actinic:variable name="Total" />')</actinic:block>', currency: 'GBP'});

This is blockif'ed to appear on the receipt page.

[NormanRouxel]

Only if the code is placed as per my post #16. And see the same post for details of what the returned total may actually look like.

Putting an ID on the whatever surrounds the total and using jQuery to extract the text of that total may be a better way to go. This is documented already somewhere in this thread I think.

[graphicz]

I am sorry this is dragging on a bit.

I have put this in the Checkout Shopping Cart Grid between the <Actinic:XMLTEMPLATE NAME="ShoppingCart"> </Actinic:XMLTEMPLATE> tags. (The code in the head is BlockIf'd out for receipt page)

<!-- Facebook Pixel Code -->
<script>
  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)
  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};
  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';
  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;
  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];
  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',
  'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js');
fbq('init', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
fbq('track', 'PageView');
fbq('track', 'Purchase', {value: ('<Actinic:Variable Name="Total"/>').replace(/[^0-9\.]/g, ''), currency: 'GBP'});
</script>

I get this on the pixel checker in Chrome:

That's what I told you would happen. Fix on http://community.sellerdeck.com/showthread.php?t=57486 post #1.
