eZ Recommendation

The main value of the extension is to automatically create tracking events from user activities and export relevant content to the eZ Recommendation service. It feeds the cloud-based recommender engine with these data and retrieves on-demand recommendations to be rendered in the eZ Publish frontend.

It contains the following functions:

  1. Accesses the YOOCHOOSE cloud-service APIs to retrieve recommendations on demand from the recommendation service
  2. Supports publisher as well as online shop recommendations
  3. Creates a workflow to export content to recommendation
    1. By default this workflow is triggered after publishing objects marked as recommendable
  4. Provides a script to trigger a full export of all existing content marked as recommendable
  5. Defines a new Recommendation datatype with a recommend flag
  6. Creates tracking events from user activities on objects that are marked as recommendable
  7. Creates a workflow for purchase events when products are bought in the web shop
  8. Creates a workflow for delete content when a node is deleted
  9. Creates a recommendation entry in the support panel to show statistics
