I have merged the PR and deployed the new content on BioViz.org.
Probably we can test that it is working as expected after 24 hours have passed?
To test:
- Log into analytics.google.com. You should have access if you are part of the team to view account "IGB Usage" property "Bioviz.org Web site". If you do not have access, ask Dr. Loraine to be added.
- For your reference, take a look at the new javascript file added here: https://bioviz.org/js/sendCustomDownloadGAEvent.js
- Note that when a user clicks the current release download button or the early access release download button, a page hit should be logged in google analytics. This page hit is meant to log whenever a user clicks the Download Button and starts downloading an IGB version for their particular platform
- If the user has clicked the current release download button, the name of the page should be "Download Button Clicked - " + osName
- If the user has clicked an early access download button, the name of the page "Early Access Download Button Clicked - " + osName;
Please try downloading the Windows and Mac installers by clicking the button. Note that you will have to use a Windows browser to check the Windows download and a Mac browser to check the Mac download.
Currently, the Linux download doesn't work due to an as-yet unresolved issue - see linked tickets.
Raised the PR: https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/bioviz/pull-requests/163
The changes make the page code cleaner in my view.
I have not looked at how the page is rendered in a browser, but it looks like it would be fine.
Please submit PR when ready, and I will deploy it right away on bioviz.org for final testing.
I made a few more minor changes (added if conditions and added page_path attribute as well to the GA event), these don't have any major impact but improve the code and avoid sending any unnecessary events or throwing errors. Here is the updated code: https://bitbucket.org/jaya-sravani/bioviz/branch/IGBF-3970. Tested it after the changes, working as expected. Please review once again and let me know if there are any issues.
Done the required code changes, as discussed, created separate page views for button clicks for the current release download (both download and otherDownload page download buttons) and early release download in the earlyAccessDownload page. Also, changed the IGB version in the otherDownloads.html file to reflect the current release version and match with the download.html file IGB version. Tested and everything is working as expected. Here is the updated code: https://bitbucket.org/jaya-sravani/bioviz/branch/IGBF-3970 Below are a few screenshots.
Please review and let me know if there are any issues.
I tested Mac, Windows, Linux for the IGB Download page, Available Installers page, and IGB Early Access Download page. They all appear to be working correctly.
Tested on my Mac using Chrome with different user agents for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
