Hello,
I am trying to use personalized content with OpenCms.
But until now I am quite at the beginning with this task.
First I have some questions to point
3.4.9 (Personalization) in the Documentation.
1. "Web page content is easily adapted
to each user's profile and preferences."
But how do I do this?
2. "specify their preferences manually or let them
be automatically generated by enabling
the system to analyze their surfing habits."
Where is this done?
Now I have some other questions.
1. Is there a difference between a Web-User
and a Guest-User?
2. If I want to provide a formular to register
a new user - to provide personalized content -
do I have to use the addWebUser method?
And if yes, do I need to to login as Admin
in my class that adds the user first to add
this User (with the addUser method I have to)?
Let's say now I have different users in different groups.
1. How do I administer personalized content for every
user and/or every group of users best?
Is this done by the permissions of the files?
And where/how do I store different content
for different groups/users best?
2. Is there already a solution available I didn't see?
If not could somebody give me a clue how I should
do this? With a templateselector for every group in every file?
Now I have some general questions.
1. What for is the administration-point "Channels"?
I still couldn't figure out.
Probably for personalization? ;-)
2. Can I somehow test new classes whithout restarting Tomcat?
I hope my questions are not too stupid neither to annoying
and hopefully can somebody help me.
Thanks a lot.
