Page view monitoring and event management

Parameters

Simple Pageview

Submit a pageview using location.href as the request URL and document.title for the page title.

window.vantevo("pageview");

Pageview change pathname of url

You can submit a custom pageview where you can change the pathname of the page. In the example below, the page URL is https://example.com/blog?page=2 with the pathname=/blog and thepage=2 parameter (the page = 2 parameter will be ignored, see guide), using the pageview event with the meta parameter of type {path:"/blog/page/2"} , the script will save as page pathname: /blog/page/2.

window.vantevo("pageview", { path: "/blog/page/2" }, () => {});

Pageview change title page

Vantevo uses document.title to get the full title of the page, in this example you will see how you can change the page title.

window.vantevo("pageview", { title: "New Title Page" }, () => {});

Event

An example of how to send an event with the name “Download” and with the information meta_key=pdf and meta_value=presentation, the meta parameter is a simple json.

Vantevo Analytics handles the meta_key=duration, the value of this field is of type Number. With the duration parameter it is possible to send a number (seconds) with the event that will be used to calculate the average duration of the event itself.

window.vantevo("download", { pdf: "presentation"  }, () => {});
/*** or ***/
window.vantevo("video", { title: "presentation", duration: 30 }, () => {});
