Facebook and Google advertising conversions was created by Andrea Baldoni
hi, as you know, for facebook and google is possible set a campaign payment not just for click or views but also for conversions. for facebook conversion (pixel code) i have to add a script code in the head of the page to check for convesion. please could you tell me how to add this code in the checkout page or in complete order page?

for google it's more easy because the code goes in the body

hi, using free module flexy custom code you can add your php code in a specific menu item, so if you add this code
<?php
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addScript('campagna_facebook.js');
?>

in checkout item menu you will have the file js link

this not works for facebook, facebook needs the code in the head not the link to js file. hot to add script code? tx

hi, waiting a best solution i solved adding code in template index head and a php condition about link, here you have the code

<?php
$checkoutpage = "/completa-ordine";
$currentpage = $_SERVER;
if($checkoutpage==$currentpage) {
echo '

<script>(function() {
var _fbq = window._fbq || (window._fbq = []);
if (!_fbq.loaded) {
var fbds = document.createElement("script");
fbds.async = true;
fbds.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbds.js";
var s = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(fbds, s);
_fbq.loaded = true;
}
})();
window._fbq = window._fbq || [];
window._fbq.push(["track", "0000000000", {"value":"0.01","currency":"USD"}]);
</script>
<noscript><img height="1" width="1" alt="" style="display:none" src=" www.facebook.com/tr?ev=0000000000&cd [value]=0.01&amp;cd[currency]=USD&amp;noscript=1" /></noscript>
';
}
?>

to work it's important to change facebook code script, using " and not '
sorry if it's banal but i'm not a developer

Hello Andrea,
I think the your solution is the only way to have this work. Seem this is the only way in Joomla to add a custome script code into the <head> tag.
In the future, I will find a correct solution to allow customers to add their own javascript code into the checkout page.
Thank you for posting your solution here.
Sincerely, Giang

Hi Giang,

Have a client, (with whom you are no doubt familiar right now), who is looking to do this. Found this post via Googling for Facebook Pixel insertion in Joomla. As it is some three years old, is there an update on methodology for this?

Cheers,

Ric

Is it on the radar Giang? Interest in Facebook Pixel seems to be increasing daily.

Cheers,

Ric

Hi Ric,

I am not sure about this. In this future, I will add the feature to integrate Eshop with Facebook page shop.

That’s a wonderful share. I also have been thinking to target potential customers using FB ads. I have been learning the facebook ads management skills so this post was also quite helpful for me. I am sure that this platform will help me not only in getting the views but will be useful for conversions as well.
