Setting up Orion to work with EX.CO

Below you will find the steps in order of how they should be completed with links to the sections below going into more detail.

Steps​

  1. Have the module enabled
  2. Update Bootstrap Code
  3. Spiny Team Review

Have the module enabled​

Please let the Spiny team know before proceeding so we can enable this integration's module for your bundle. Once enabled you can proceed with this integration.

Update Bootstrap Code​

Important

The "message" event listener only needs to be setup once per page. If you've implemented the below event listener for another integration you do not need to take any additional steps for this integration.

EX.CO's video player sends all player events as message events so in order to integrate Orion with EX.CO please update your Orion bootstrap code in accordance with the following:

  1. Add "trackMessageEvent" to the orionMethods array.
  2. Add the message event listener shown in the code snippet below(only needs to be implemented once per page not per integration)
<!-- Spiny.ai Orion Bootstrap START --->
<script>
    // Add "trackMessageEvent" to orionMethods
    var orionMethods = ["init","registerPost","report","newPageView","setContext", "trackMessageEvent"];

    (function(s,p,i,n,y){s[i]=s[i]||{queue:[]};for(var x=0;x<n.length;x++){(function(m){s[i][m]=s[i][m]||function(){var a=arguments;s[i].queue.push(function(){s[i][m].apply(s[i],a)})}})(n[x])}if(y){var e=p.createElement("script");e.type="text/javascript";e.async=true;e.src=y;var f=p.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];if(f){f.parentNode.insertBefore(e,f)}else{var d=p.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];if(d){d.appendChild(e)}}}})(window,document,"orion",orionMethods,null);

    // Add this message event listener
    window.addEventListener("message", orion.trackMessageEvent);
    
    orion.init(...)
</script>
<!-- Spiny.ai Orion Bootstrap END --->

This will allow Orion to register your player instances and perform all necessary reporting.
