Hello there 🙂

I’m working with Google Tag Manager and there is something I don’t understand on your implementation:

When I load the first page, I have two events sent:

- a « Page View » event;
- a « VirtualPageView » event.  
Then, on all page changes:
- a « VirtualPageView » event.  
Why are you sending two events on the first page load?

I tried to override your `page-tracking.es6.js` in the initializers folder by creating a plugin which includes the same file in `assets/javascripts/initializers/` but this doesn’t work and your file is executed, not mine. Maybe I’m not doing things good to override one of initializers file. What should I do?

I don’t know what can I do to do that so if someone can help me… thanks 🙂

Mathieu.

I haven’t tried overriding page-tracking.js. I don’t think it’s as simple as putting your own file with the same name in a plugin.

Regarding the GTM tracking, I welcome any improvements from anyone who understands GTM better than me. Keep in mind that any changes must not break the universal analytics integration with GTM. I seem to remember the way it is now was to make sure analytics works via GTM.
