Surrogate for googletagmanager.com ?

Post by al1949 »

Hi. I hope that someone can advise on the following, please.

Until quite recently, a website that I access on a regular basis worked OK without any specific NoScript settings. Now it appears to have made some changes that require me to allow 'googletagmanager.com'. It isn't necessary to allow 'googletagservices.com', so I guess that the surrogate for this is working as expected.

So, do we need a new surrogate for googletagmanager, or should this be covered by the one for googletagservices? Or doesn't it matter?

To see the what I've encountered, go to 'www.radiotimes.com/tv/tv-listings' and try clicking on one of the 'day' links (eg. 'Tomorrow', 'Friday' etc) - nothing happens. (radiotimes.com is a UK site with useful information about most of our TV and radio programmes).

Pale Moon 25.3.2 or Firefox 37.0.2
NoScript 2.6.9.22
RequestPolicy 0.5.28 (which now also requires 'googletagmanager.com' to be allowed)

Thanks.

Yeah, probably need a new surrogate.
Can you please post a complete list of all sites that must be script-allowed to get that page working properly?

Thanks for your reply, Barbaz.

radiotimes.com
googletagmanager.com
(Possibly) metabroadcast.com

If using RequestPolicy, then allow 'googletagmanager.com'
If using an adblocker. then unblock 'radiotimes.com'
Cookies for 'radiotimes.com'

Seems it's much simpler than making a new surrogate:
about:config > set noscript.surrogate.ga.sources to

Code: Select all

*.google-analytics.com .googletagmanager.com
Can you try that and let us know if it works for you? Thanks

Hi Barbaz.

Yes, your suggested fix works perfectly - many thanks.
So it is no longer necessary to allow 'googletagmanager.com' in either NoScript or RequestPolicy.

Any reasons why this hasn't been included in 2.6.9.23rc1?

Surrogate still not included in 2.6.9.25 :-( ... Maybe this thread should be moved to the Surrogates subforum?

Only if you are sure you're fine with not being able to post in this thread anymore... or if you want to register an account...

My suggested fix can be applied manually...
