Add the visitor toolbar with Adobe Tags

By Published

How to add the visitor toolbar to a site through Adobe Experience Platform Tags. The toolbar lets a visitor change how your pages look and read for themselves; it fixes nothing in your site, does not change whether it meets WCAG or the BFSG, and our scans never see it.

Before you start

  • Your site key. It is in the Reviseberg dashboard, under Settings › Visitor toolbar, on the Install tab. In the steps below it is written YOUR-SITE-KEY.
  • Switch the toolbar on for your site on the same screen. Until it is on, the tag loads and shows nothing.

Download

The package is reviseberg-toolbar-adobe-launch-1.0.0.zip. It is not listed in any platform’s store yet: you install it from this download.

Download for Adobe Experience Platform Tags (version 1.0.0)

Steps

  1. Download the extension above and unpack it.
  2. In that folder, run npx @adobe/reactor-packager to build the package, upload it with npx @adobe/reactor-uploader, and release it privately to your organisation with npx @adobe/reactor-releaser.
  3. In your Tags property, open Extensions › Catalog, install Reviseberg Toolbar, paste your site key and save.
  4. Add the change to a library, build it and publish.

Good to know

Uploading a private extension needs the rights to do so in your Adobe organisation, and Node.js on the computer that builds the package.

The extension is not in the Adobe Exchange catalogue yet.

Check that it works

  • Open a page of your site in a private window — not in the platform’s editor or preview, where most plugins leave the tag out on purpose.
  • View the page source, or search the developer tools’ Elements panel, for widget/v1.js. There should be exactly one tag, with your key.
  • The toolbar’s button appears once the toolbar is switched on in the dashboard. On the same screen, “Last seen on your site” says when the tag last loaded on one of your pages.
  • No button? The browser console has a line beginning “Reviseberg toolbar:” that says why — a key with the wrong shape, for example, or the tag on the page twice.
  • The toolbar answers only on the addresses allowed under Settings › Visitor toolbar; your site’s own address always is. Add a staging address there before you test on it.
