Installation

Installation procedure assumes that you are registered and signed in. It includes adding some javascript code and recommendations container to your pages, and writing a server-side script that handles the AJAX request. So let's check it step by step.

  1. After clicking Create new account link on accounts page you specify the target hostname (e.g. mywebshop.com) and give some name to your account.
  2. Insert javascript code on all of the pages you would like to track. In the time of dynamic webpages this usually means adding roughly 10 lines to a single file.
  3. On the same pages create a place where recommendations are stored. It is an HTML element, e.g., <div>. Fit your design needs with styles.
  4. Choose one or write custom PHP/Python/Ruby/.NET/other server-side script that will handle the fetching and inserting of the recommendations.
And that's it! In normal circumstances shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. I can hear you saying, "but you cannot fit design in 5 minutes." You are right. But the first week or two you will wait for enough data to be collected. Meanwhile you can redesign the whole site if you will.
