redirectReferrerGA.js

// Harrisons latest version: https://gist.github.com/harrisonkrat/6519d49b7102f361c992

Hi @nils, I created a new fork here - I think we need to refer to window.whatReferrer in the variation code to access that variable.

@harrisonkrat I updated this code snippet too with it. Thanks for the update!

@nils, can we put line 38 in experiment JS instead?

@circAssimilate: I learned from @harrisonkrat that this is not possible. Our current Project JS code doesn’t have anything in place that checks if a redirect is running; it just globally gets and sets some cookies for referrer. The variation code is what actually sends the info to GA, and that’s the only place we want it to happen because that is where we know a redirect is happening.

@nils I updated my original comment in ECO-878 and my fork here. This code has been confirmed to work by Progress/Telerik and Practice Fusion.

Progress did some extra modifications in their GTM implementation, but the core idea of the code is there. Practice Fusion doesn't have Project JS, so they implemented this code directly on their site.

Thanks @harrisonkrat! I've updated my gist to match yours so I don't have to worry about giving out the wrong code.
