>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #2137845. --> Reported by: [dan.ashdown](https://www.drupal.org/user/1225806) >>> <h2>Overview</h2> <p>The personalization module adds highly configurable implicit and explicit personalization to Drupal websites based on geolocation and taxonomies. This means you can deliver content to site visitors that is relevant to their interests. This is ascertained from their physical location and behaviour on your site, which builds up a personalization profile of them. </p> <p>There are a large number of applications for this module; a basic example would be if a user accesses lot's of pages about working for your company you could show them jobs closest to them. Or if you're an international company you could show the contact details of the office nearest to them. Or if they access a number of articles about marketing you can suggest other marketing content to them. There's no reason why you couldn't also use it for advertising, e.g. this user has looked at 10 articles tagged with Xbox, you could then display an advert for the Xbox One.</p> <p>The module is designed for larger content heavy sites but would work effectively on any. It comes with a "Suggested content" block and paginated listing but the intention is for developers to call the modules functions directly to retrieve users suggested content to do with as they please. It was created to bridge a gap in Drupal core and contrib module space. After running many CMS selection workshops with enterprise clients, many of them ended up selecting SiteCore due to the level of personalization it offers; which is time consuming (expensive) to achieve in Drupal.</p> <p>Note: Whilst the geolocation logic should work on any database engine that supports trigonometry, it has only been tested with MySQL.</p> <p>[updated 02/12/2013] Please find attached to this issue an SQL file for a Drupal 7.23 installation with this module pre-installed and a bunch of categorised content pages to make this project easier to test. To use it, simply set up a vanilla install of 7.23, then import the SQL over the database. The user 1 login for the database is admin:admin</p> <h2>Links</h2> <p><strong>Git:</strong> git clone --branch 7.x-1.x <a href="http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/Dan.Ashdown/2137715.git">http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/Dan.Ashdown/2137715.git</a> personalization<br> <strong>Project Link:</strong> <a href="https://drupal.org/sandbox/danashdown/2137715">https://drupal.org/sandbox/danashdown/2137715</a></p> <h2>Manual reviews of other projects</h2> <p><del><a href="https://drupal.org/comment/8187461#comment-8187461">https://drupal.org/comment/8187461#comment-8187461</a><br> <a href="https://drupal.org/comment/8187511#comment-8187511">https://drupal.org/comment/8187511#comment-8187511</a><br> <a href="https://drupal.org/comment/8188247#comment-8188247">https://drupal.org/comment/8188247#comment-8188247</a></del><br> <a href="https://drupal.org/comment/8354089#comment-8354089">https://drupal.org/comment/8354089#comment-8354089</a><br> <a href="https://drupal.org/comment/8356457#comment-8356457">https://drupal.org/comment/8356457#comment-8356457</a><br> <a href="https://drupal.org/comment/8357767#comment-8357767">https://drupal.org/comment/8357767#comment-8357767</a></p>
