Question

Ok I have some custom Omniture code I need to add to a Drupal site. All is good as I have added the Javascript code to the themes template page. The code shows up on all the pages as expected but I have a couple of PHP variables that I need to print in the Javascript that are coming up blank.

<?php

    $omniture_event = "test this works as expected";

    $omniture =<<<OMNITURE
<script language="JavaScript"><!--

s.events="{$omniture_event}"
s.landing="{$omniture_landing}"

OMNITURE;

    echo $omniture;

?>

but $omniture_landing is set on the landing page only and it looks like the template page is being loaded first then the content of the page is being added. I can print the value to the screen and I see the Javascript in the footer as expected with the other PHP variable set, but when I try to set the variable on the landing page it comes up blank in the javascript.

Answer 1

You can edit your page.tpl.php template file. If the ‘Landing page’ is your front page, then you can do something a little easier and more consistent (if you end up changing the title).

if($is_front) { 
  $omniture_landing = 'Yeah we have landed!!!'; 
}

Or by node id:

if($node->nid == '1') { 
  $omniture_landing = 'Yeah we have landed!!!'; 
} 

Replacing 1 with whatever the node Id is of course

Also, check to see if you have a page-front.tpl.php If so, that file, page-front.tpl.php is the template that runs on the landing page instead of page.tpl.php and you can add your code to page-front.tpl.php or remove it if you don’t need a separate template for the landing page.
