python-tribune-omniture

Python package for rendering HTML snippets to enable Tribune Publishing's Omniture Analytics and Third Party navigation.

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/newsapps/python-tribune-omniture.git#egg=tribune_omniture

Implementation with Django applications

In your settings file, create an Omniture dictionary, which we will use to populate our JavaScript object. Here is an example:

OMNITURE = {
  'domain': 'elections.chicagotribune.com',
  'sitename': 'Chicago Tribune',
  'section': 'news',
  'subsection': 'local',
  'subsubsection': 'election',
  'title': 'Elections Center',
  'type': 'dataproject',
}

At the top of your project templates, load the custom template tags with:

{% load omnituretags %}

In the head of your project templates, load the Omniture object. Replace PAGE NAME HERE with a name that properly identifies the page the user is viewing:

{% block omniture %}
    {% omnitag request '' 'PAGE NAME HERE' %}
{% endblock %}

In the footer of your project templates, load the Omniture third party script, and pass your domain (do not include a subdomain). By default, the third party navigation and SSOR tracking are disabled. The metrics team recommends disabling the SSOR tracking if page speed is a concern:

{% omniscript 'chicagotribune.com' %}

Implementation with Tarbell (Jinja2) projects

In your Tarbell config, update the DEFAULT_CONTEXT dictionary so it includes a nested Omniture dictionary, like this:

DEFAULT_CONTEXT = {
    'OMNITURE': {
        'domain': 'nfldraft.chicagotribune.com',
        'sitename': 'Chicago Tribune',
        'section': 'sports',
        'subsection': 'bears',
        'subsubsection': '',
        'title': 'NFL Draft',
        'type': 'dataproject',
    }
}

In the head of your project templates, load the Omniture object. Replace PAGE NAME HERE with a name that properly identifies the page the user is viewing:

{% omnitag request OMNITURE None 'PAGE NAME HERE' %}

In the footer of your project templates, load the Omniture third party script, and pass your domain (do not include a subdomain). By default, the third party navigation and SSOR tracking are disabled. The metrics team recommends disabling the SSOR tracking if page speed is a concern:

{% omniscript 'chicagotribune.com' %}
