Liferay Audience Targeting application

Audience Targeting is a new App for Liferay 6.2 that will put the engagement experience of your portal at a whole new level. This app allows you to segment your audience, target specific content to different user segments, create campaigns for them and measure the campaigns' effectivness quickly.

The Liferay Audience Targeting application is part of the Liferay Portal project. [Liferay Portal] (http://www.liferay.com/community/liferay-projects/liferay-portal) is an open source enterprise web platform for building business solutions that deliver immediate results and long-term value. Liferay Portal started out as a personal development project in 2000 and was open sourced in 2001.

To get started, check out the project's community homepage at http://liferay.org!

The Audience Targeting application is a subset of plugins related to the Web Content Management Experience that enhance Liferay WCM capabilities.

The Audience Targeting App can be easily installed on Liferay Portal via Liferay Marketplace. To build the app yourself, read below for details.

Quick Start

Deployment

In order to deploy the Audience Targeting application, you need to go through the following steps:

Obtain the latest version of the Liferay 6.2 SDK. You can clone locally the 6.2.x branch of the [liferay-plugins] (https://github.com/liferay/liferay-plugins) repository.
Init the Audience Targeting application submodule in the Liferay 6.2 SDK by running these commands inside the directory apps/content-targeting:
```
 git submodule init
 git submodule update
```

Set these properties in the build.<username>.properties of your Liferay SDK:

 plugins.includes=*-api,*-hook,*-service,*-web,report-*,rule-*,runtime-dependencies,tracking-action-*
 plugin.excludes=*-test

Go to apps/content-targeting and run ant build-app

Documentation

Take a look at the Liferay Portal User Guide for information about using Liferay Portal.

The Audience Targeting application is built on top of Liferay Portal and follows the same usability patterns. For more information about how to use Audience Targeting, read the [Targeting Content to your Audience] (https://dev.liferay.com/discover/portal/-/knowledge_base/6-2/targeting-content-to-your-audience) section.

There are also available several [Tutorials in the Liferay Developer Network] (https://dev.liferay.com/develop/tutorials/-/knowledge_base/6-2/audience-targeting) to guide you through all the available extensions to the Audience Targeting App.

Development

The master branch of this repository will always contain the latest release available of the app.

The latest work can be found in the branch develop.

Please, send any pull request to the user @liferay and the branch develop and we will start a discussion there about your changes.

The master branch of the Liferay Audience Targeting application is developed for Liferay 6.2 CE using the 6.2 version of the plugins SDK.

The Audience Targeting application is designed as a framework to be extended by other developers easily. See the Audience Targeting tutorials.

Contributing

We welcome any and all contributions! If you have an idea for a new plugin or a new feature in an existing plugin, and wish to implement it, just send a pull request to the user @liferay and to the branch develop and we will start a discussion there around your changes.

You can contact us in the [forums] (https://www.liferay.com/es/community/forums/-/message_boards/category/43900641) and create bugs or feature requests in our [issue tracker] (http://issues.liferay.com/browse/WCM).

Testing

In order to execute the Integration tests locally, you have to go through the following steps:

Append the test modules to the plugins.includes property of your build.<username>.properties file:

 plugins.includes=<all other audience targeting application modules>,*-test,runtime-test-dependencies

Make sure you have deployed all the Audience Targeting application plugins and that your server is running.
Go to apps/content-targeting and run ant test. In order to run the tests from the IDE (e.g. IntelliJ), you should update the folder of the runner to use the folder of your plugin as the working directory.

OSGI Console

The OSGi bundle console gives information about the bundles that are currently available in the container and allows some operations over them. In order to start the console you need to add this line to your portal-ext.properties

module.framework.properties.osgi.console=11311

Then you can just run telnet localhost 11311 once the Audience Targeting application plugins have been deployed.

Some useful commands:

bundles: list bundles and status
start [bundle id]: starts a bundle
stop [bundle id]: stops a bundle
uninstall [bundle id]: uninstalls a bundle
