Updating this template

Development

To make changes to the template, follow these steps:

1. Open your Google Tag Manager account and create a web container.
2. Import the template.tpl file in this repository into the template editor.
3. The template will load into the editor. Make any necessary changes.
4. Once you're done, export the template from the editor.
5. Replace the contents of the template.tpl file with the contents of the newly generated .tpl file.
6. Submit the pull request with the changes.

NOTE: Always use the GTM template editor to make updates, do not edit the template.tpl file by hand.

Deployment

The metadata.yaml file is used to determine which version of the template to use in the gallery. To publish new versions, we need to add the change number (SHA number) to the versions section of the metadata.yaml file.

1. Locate the commit that includes the changes that you want to push, and copy the SHA number. An easy way to do this is in GitHub is to go to a commit view and click the clipboard icon. This will copy the entire SHA number to your clipboard.
2. Add a new sha entry to the top of your versions list in metadata.yaml. (See the example below.)
3. Add changeNotes to briefly describe changes contained in this new version. You can create multiline comments, if desired. (See the example below.)
4. Commit the change to metadata.yaml and your update will appear in the gallery typically within 2 to 3 days.

This example demonstrates how to add new version information including the SHA number and change notes:
