Setting up Orion to work with Taboola

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. Add Taboola Render Event Listener
  4. 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​

In order to ensure Taboola impressions are counted by Spiny please update your bootstrap code in accordance with the following:

  1. Add "handleTaboolaRenderEvent" to the orionMethods array.
<!-- Spiny.ai Orion Bootstrap START --->
<script>
    // Add "handleTaboolaRenderEvent" to orionMethods
    var orionMethods = ["init","registerPost","report","newPageView","setContext", "handleTaboolaRenderEvent"];
    (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);

    orion.init(...)
</script>

Add Taboola Render Event Listener​

Please ensure the following code is ran after the bootstrap code but before Taboola's processes start.

<script>
    // Add global Taboola event listner
    window._taboola = window._taboola || [];
    window._taboola.push({listenTo: "render",handler: orion.handleTaboolaRenderEvent});
</script>

This will ensure Orion can properly register render events and further listen for viewable impression events for Taboola ad units.

Spiny Team Review​

Once completed please add these changes to a staging site for our team to confirm and once approved please deploy the changes to your production environments.
