[coderwpwo]

Hello,

I am using your plugin to track view and dimension. Plugin work awesome but i am having problem with Dimension tracking on iPAD.

I am using something like that:

function initializeTracking() {

if (window.ga) {
window.ga.startTrackerWithId('xx-xxxxxxxx-xx);
}
}

function trackSenderEmail(email) {
if (window.ga) {
window.ga.addCustomDimension(1, email);

}
}

Can you guys please help me. I am facing that problem from a week and not founding any solution.

@lalit241 sorry, you did say which is you problem; what do you expect? more details please.

I think you issue is how to use it; when you call addCustomDimension() it doesn't send any data, it just set the dimension and after that ones you call trackView() or trackEvent() it will send the dimension in this calls.

Hi @victorsosa

window.ga.addCustomDimension(1, email); it work perfect in Andorid phone or tab.

My call is something like

function trackSenderEmail(email) {
if (window.ga) {
window.ga.addCustomDimension(1, email);

}
}

It fails in iOS but work perfectly in Android.

[coderwpwo]

I am using 1.7.5 version, no any error i am not getting

I'm also having issues with custom dimensions on IOS. The first thing I noticed is that the value of the custom dimension is always passed to Google as "&cd42" = "value" and there does not appear to be another parameter for the key of the dimension. Second thing I noticed is that add a second dimension simply overrides the value of the first sending "&cd43" = "second value", the first dimension value appears no where in the data being sent to Google.

First call with with one dimension.

@scott-alvis the 42 value overwrite issue was fixed; please update to the last ver 1.7.5

check this out f530b09

[scott-alvis]

@victorsosa thank you for the update.

Removing ionic plugin remove cordova-plugin-google-analytics and adding it back ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-google-analytics doesn't appear to get the update.

I went ahead and updated UniversalAnalyticsPlugin.m directly and the fix is working.

Thanks again!

Same... removed and re-added and still seeing this:

Note 42 hardcoded.

- (void) addCustomDimensionsToTracker: (id<GAITracker>)tracker
{
    if (_customDimensions) {
      for (NSString *key in _customDimensions.allKeys) {
        NSString *value = [_customDimensions objectForKey:key];

        NSNumberFormatter *f = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
        f.numberStyle = NSNumberFormatterDecimalStyle;
        NSNumber *myKey = [f numberFromString:@"42"];

        /* NSLog(@"Setting tracker dimension slot %@: <%@>", key, value); */
        [tracker set:[GAIFields customDimensionForIndex:myKey.unsignedIntegerValue]
        value:value];
      }
    }
}

It must be getting cached somewhere- feel free to use this fork, which is just a copy of 1.7.5, but "breaks" whatever was caching it for me: https://github.com/mobyinc/google-analytics-plugin.git
