Personalized Scenarios

 

To create and use Personalized Scenarios, it is necessary to use eZ Personalization GUI (YOOCHOOSE admin page) and create scenarios that will appear in "Select Scenario" dropdown menu. There are no predefined scenarios to use in the Personalize Block. 

 

 

 

 

Content types

 

The scenarios at YOOCHOOSE support multiple output types, e.g. articles, pictures, videos, blog posts and more. However, Content Types also need to be defined in eZ Personalization GUI (YOOCHOOSE admin page) in order to be included in the dropdown menu. Selecting a Content Type is mandatory. 

 

 

 

 

Display Options

 

Recommended content can be displayed in a horizontal and vertical (skyscraper) way. However, differences are not only in the position of the block: 

  • If the option "Use Carousel" is not active, be sure that number of items to display in the Personalize Block meets the block size and none of items are "hidden" behind the block borders.  
  • During resizing for responsive layout the available space for items may change. 
  • In the horizontal layout it is possible to insert more items that move in a carousel fashion. The carousel option is available for horizontal display only!
