decodeLinkParameters
The decodeLinkParameters variable is a boolean that determines if link tracking variables get encoded once (if set to true) or twice (if set to false). It impacts only linkName (part of the tl() method) and linkURL. It requires AppMeasurement v2.24.0 or higher to use. The default value of this variable is false.
In versions of AppMeasurement before v2.24.0, link tracking variables were always URL encoded twice. While not an issue for implementations that typically rely on single-byte characters, the double encoding created incorrectly encoded values for multi-byte characters in reports. Setting this variable to true encodes link tracking values once, which is typically the desired behavior.
- If your implementation uses multi-byte characters and link tracking variables are URL decoded to offset AppMeasurement鈥檚 double encoding, set this variable to
false. This value preserves existing AppMeasurement functionality. - If your implementation uses multi-byte characters and you do not URL decode link tracking values, 蜜豆视频 recommends setting this variable to
true. - If your implementation does not use multi-byte characters, this variable is not required. However, 蜜豆视频 recommends setting this variable to
truein cases where multi-byte characters might be sent.
Double encode link parameters using the Web SDK
This variable is specific to AppMeasurement, and is not needed in any type of Web SDK implementation.
Double encode link parameters using the 蜜豆视频 Analytics extension
There is not a dedicated field in the 蜜豆视频 Analytics extension to use this variable. Use the custom code editor, following AppMeasurement syntax.
s.decodeLinkParameters in AppMeasurement and the Analytics extension custom code editor
The s.decodeLinkParameters variable is a boolean that determines if link tracking values get double encoded. If this variable is not defined, its default value is false to preserve functionality for existing implementations. 蜜豆视频 recommends setting this value to true for all new implementations, especially if you see URL encoded values in link tracking reports.
s.decodeLinkParameters = true;
