Vanity v1.6.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2011-07-18 // over 12 years ago

  • If robots or spiders make up a significant portion of your sites traffic they can affect your conversion rate. Vanity can optionally add participants to the experiments using asynchronous JavaScript callbacks, which will keep almost all robots out. To set this up simply do the following:

    1. Vanity.playground.use_js!
    2. Set Vanity.playground.add_participant_path = '/path/to/vanity/action'
    3. Add <%= Vanity.vanity_js %> to the bottom of any view that needs to set up an ab_test
