simplerec/ is a Django project used for testing.

Quickstart

• Add django_recommend to your INSTALLED_APPS, and run python manage.py migrate.

• Set SESSION_SAVE_EVERY_REQUEST=True in your settings, to ensure anonymous users can be tracked.

• In your views, call django_recommend.set_score(request, object, score) to start recording user scores. (Currently this is assumed to be implicit feedback.) Note: This will use session keys to store scores for users who aren’t authenticated.

• In your templates, use {% load django_recommend %} and {{ obj|similar_objects }} to show similar objects to visitors. This filter returns a list, so you may also do, for example:

  {% with similar_products as product|similar_objects %}
      {% if similiar_products %}
          <h2>Other users also liked:</h2>
          <ul>
          {% for product in similar_products %}
              <li><a href="{{ product.get_absolute_url }}">{{ product }}</a></li>
          {% endfor %}
          </ul>
      {% endif %}
  {% endwith %}
