Using google tag manager and setting custom dimensions

Hi all,

First-time poster, short time lurker!

I am integrating matomo for a client and have already done google analytics successfully.

However, they want custom dimensions set when a trigger happens on the site. So I set the custom dimensions as per below when the page is loaded
var _paq = []; /* tracker methods like "setCustomDimension" should be called before "trackPageView" */ _paq.push(['setCustomDimension', customDimensionId = 15, customDimensionValue = 'A VALUE']); _paq.push(['setCustomDimension', customDimensionId = 1, customDimensionValue = 'not set']); _paq.push(['trackPageView']); _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']); (function() { var u="//OURPWIKI"; _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'piwik.php']); _paq.push(['setSiteId', '1']); var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; g.type='text/javascript'; g.async=true; g.defer=true; g.src=u+'piwik.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s); })();

Then as it’s a single page app (no page refresh or hash changes) I trigger this code to push a new custom dimension to be set when a trigger happens (trigger successfully fires this code)

<script> _paq.push(['setCustomDimension', customDimensionId = 1, customDimensionValue = '{{DataLayer - Property ID}}']); </script>

Yet, this information isn’t coming through the system, what am I doing wrong?

Any help is VERY appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael
