Add Facebook Tracking to Checkout Page

[pauloray]

How can I add a Facebook Conversion tracking code to the Checkout page only?

 

This is the page where the user select his Payment method.

 

What file should I edit? I need to put the code before </head> tag.

You can alse edit your whmcs header template file and add something like this:

 

{if $pagetitle eq $LANG.carttitle}

{literal}

---your code---

{/literal}

{/if}

 

This will target all cart-related pages, just like the hook

yes it can be but hooks are better for this.

 

@pauloray

your hook could be like this:

<?php

function hook_facebookTrackingCode($vars){

   if ($vars['filename']=='cart'){
       $facebookcode = '<script type="text/javascript">';
       $facebookcode .= '// Your JS Code Here';
       $facebookcode .= '</script>';
   }

return $facebookcode;
}
add_hook("ClientAreaHeadOutput", 1, "hook_facebookTrackingCode");

?>

   }

return $facebookcode;
}
add_hook("ClientAreaHeadOutput", 1, "hook_facebookTrackingCode");

?>

 

 

Thank you, I will try this code.

 

Because I need to add our Facebook Conversion Tracking code to the Checkout page only.

The one that has a URL of like http://www.clientarea.yourdomain.com/cart.php?a=checkout.

 

Because we want to track for paid orders only, we have a separate code that goes to the whole cart by adding to the header.tpl

[sentq]

then we can modify the IF Statement to:

   if ($vars['filename']=='cart' && $_GET['a']=='checkout'){
       $facebookcode = '<script type="text/javascript">';
       $facebookcode .= '// Your JS Code Here';
       $facebookcode .= '</script>';
   }

   if ($vars['filename']=='cart' && $_GET['a']=='checkout'){
       $facebookcode = '<script type="text/javascript">';
       $facebookcode .= '// Your JS Code Here';
       $facebookcode .= '</script>';
   }

 

Thanks a lot @sentq.

 

And I will need to put this php file inside /includes/hooks right?

[sentq]

yes, create file "facebooktracking.php" or other recognized name for you inside " includes/hooks/ " directory

[mbit]

Also, $_GET['a']=='checkout' can be $vars['checkout']....afaik

[sentq]

Also, $_GET['a']=='checkout' can be $vars['checkout']....afaik

not mentioned here: http://docs.whmcs.com/Hooks:ClientAreaHeadOutput also what value should i look for?

[mbit]

Empty or 1....so false/true

[pauloray]

then we can modify the IF Statement to:

   if ($vars['filename']=='cart' && $_GET['a']=='checkout'){
       $facebookcode = '<script type="text/javascript">';
       $facebookcode .= '// Your JS Code Here';
       $facebookcode .= '</script>';
   }

 

Thanks, I am using this code and is now working perfectly.
