JavaScript To Strip Page For URL
- by Russell C.
We have a javascript function we use to track page stats internally. However, the URLs it reports many times include the page numbers for search results pages which we would rather not be reported. The pages that are reports are of the form:
http://www.test.com/directory1/2
http://www.test.com/directory1/subdirectory1/15
http://www.test.com/directory3/1113
Instead we'd like the above reported as:
http://www.test.com/directory1
http://www.test.com/directory1/subdirectory1
http://www.test.com/directory3
Please note that the numbered 'directory' and 'subdirectory' names above are just for example purposes and that the actual subdirectory names are all different, don't necessarily include numbers at the end of the directory name, and can be many levels deep.
Currently our JavaScript function produces these URLs using the code:
var page = location.hostname+document.location.pathname;
I believe we need to use the JavaScript replace function in combination with some regex but I'm at a complete loss as to what that would look like. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
