clickTag for The Trade Desk on Generic Banner ads

[visio...@gmail.com]

I am using a Tap Area component and my client is using The Trade Desk and they are not seeing any clicks and have asked that I add the following to the creative to make it work, but I can't figure out what I need to chnage to make it work.

This is the code they provided:

<script type="text/javascript">
function getParameterByName(name)
{ name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\]"); var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"), results = regex.exec(location.search); return results === null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " ")); }
var clickTag = getParameterByName("clickTag");
</script>

Hello,

Were you able to find the solution? I have a client for whom I just built 15 HTML5 banners, but he is trying to use them in The Trade Desk environment. So the same script was sent to me, and I added it as a custom event, but the client still can't upload the banners. There is not much on the web about the same issue, so I was wondering if you were able to solve it.

Thank you,

Veronika

Yes, I did find a solution.

It's 2 steps:

1. Add a custom function to your Tap Area in GWD Events. I called mine "clickThru" but this doesn't really matter as much as the code in the function.

---
window.open(clickTag);
---

2. Add the following script just before the closing </body> tag:

---

<script type="text/javascript">
function getParameterByName(name) {
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\]");
var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
results = regex.exec(location.search);
return results === null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
}
var clickTag = getParameterByName("clickTag");
</script>

---

That worked for me. Hope it does for you as well.
