Need custom script to prevent Page load rule from firing if that same page is being refreshed or reloaded

1. Hi Darius ,
2.  
3. Please add the following code in Custom Code section of Adobe Analytics tab of your Page Load rule for "Career Operations Page". This code will suppress the beacon from firing if the career operations Page is refreshed or Reloaded.

1.  
2. if(window.performance)
3.  
4. {
5.  
6. if(performance.navigation.type == 1 )
7. {
8. alert("Reload");
9.  
10. s.abort = true;
11. }
12. };

Thanks & Regards

Hi Darius,

To add to Parit Answer.

Check this first: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5004978/check-if-page-gets-reloaded-or-refreshed-in-javascript

So when the page is loaded for the first time the following:

window.performance.navigation

Return this:

PerformanceNavigation { type: 0, redirectCount: 0 }

Now if you reload the page you should see the following:

PerformanceNavigation { type: 1, redirectCount: 0 }

So Parit code is correct to check if page was reloaded but not to prevent the page load rule to fire. You need to put:

return false;

So the final code should look as follow:

var loadRule = true; if(window.performance) { //Reload of page if(performance.navigation.type  == 1 ){ loadRule = false; } } return loadRule;

I would also advis you to put this custom code in a Data Element to reuse it in all of your rules: example data element : loadRule

//Place in condition of any rule return _satellite.getVar("loadRule");
