group webpages based on regexp

[dandumit]

Hi,
Clickheat it's used especially to optimize eCommerce sites.
Most of those are using "Friendly URL's" that in fact are pointing to 2 main templates for : product pages and for product categories.
For example for prestashop default config is / can be found by following regexp's

• default category : /([0-9]+)-([_a-zA-Z0-9\pL\pS-]*)$
• product page : /(([_a-zA-Z0-9-\pL])/)?([0-9]+)-([_a-zA-Z0-9\pL\pS-]).html$

I consider very usefull functionality to group webpages using a regexp rule.

Thank you for this beatifull functionality !
Daniel

Hello Daniel,

For now it's impossible, as ClickHeat doesn't keep the full URL. But you can create a clickHeatGroup that matches what you want. For example, if you just want to group category against product page, ignoring category/product's unique identifier, you may do as follow:

clickHeatGroup = document.location.href.indexOf('.html') === -1 ? 'category' : 'product';

This would check if the URL contains .html, if so it's a product, else a category.

I don't know exactly how it's configured, but you have some idea of what you need to do.

Implementing regexp could be done in a future release, but it must be computed once and for all, as it may be too heavy to do this on each map creation. I'll see when database support is added.

Yvan.
