uPersonal.Umbraco8 1.9.1

uPersonal

uPersonal is an on-site realtime personalization package for Umbraco 7 and Umbraco 8.

Your website visitors build a user profile by simply browsing your website. The package provides tools to adapt the content based on their user profile.

Features

• Content recommendation
• Section in Umbraco backoffice for editors

Requirements

• Umbraco 7.1.1+ & Umbraco 8.1
• Entity Framework 6
• SQL Server database

Getting started

• Get your uPersonal Licence at https://upersonal.nl/licentie-aanvraag/ Licenses are free for local deployments that have hostname localhost or *.local.
• Setup Umbraco
  • Make sure you select SQL Server as database backend
• Install Entity Framework using NuGet
• Launch Umbraco (CTRL+F5) and install uPersonal-*.zip using the Umbraco package manager. In the Umbraco backoffice, go to Developer → Packages and press Install local.

Now we have the basic setup for uPersonal. Let's create a document type for our demo.

• Go to Settings → Document Types → Create Document Type
  • Name: Demo Page
• Go to Settings → Templates → Demo Page. Replace the Razor template with the following code:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage<ContentModels.DemoPage>
@using ContentModels = Umbraco.Web.PublishedContentModels;
@{
	Layout = null;
    var up = uPersonal.Umbraco.uPersonalHelper.Current;
}
@if (up.IsInSegment("Developer"))
{
    <p>Hello World!</p>
} else {
    <p>Refresh</p>
}

We created a template that will show the text Hello World! if you are a developer. Next we will configure uPersonal to recognize you when you are a developer.

• Go to uPersonal → Model → Segments → Create segment
  • Segment name: Developer
  • Segment lifetime: 30 hours
• Go to uPersonal → Logic → Actions → New Actions
  • Action name: Set segment - Developer
  • Action type: uPersonal → Set Segment
  • Segment: Developer
• Go to uPersonal → Logic → Triggers → New Trigger
  • Trigger name: Trigger - Developer
  • Add trigger rule
    • Type: Page visit → Page of document type
      • Content Type: Demo Page
      • Minimum hits: 3
    • Add trigger action
      • Set segment - Developer

We created the Developer segment and have it trigger after visiting a Demo Page document type 3 times. Let's try it out!

• Go to Content → Create → Demo Page

  • Name: Demo

• Click the link for the Demo page

You should see some content. Refresh the page 2 more times and you should see the text Hello World! Congratulations, you triggered the rule to put yourself in the developer segment.
