Flag Recommender

Flag Recommender uses the Recommender API module to calculate recommendations based on user flagging activity. For example, using the default "Bookmark" flag it can calculate two types of recommendations:

1. Recommended content based on a user's bookmarks.
2. Users who bookmarked this node also bookmarked.

Configuration

You can set up as many flag based recommendation sets as you like. The configuration page is at Administer > Site Configuration > Flag recommender (D6) or Administer > Configuration > Search and metadata > Recommender -> Flag recommender (D7).

Each flag recommendation set can be configured to:

1. Use either anonymous or authenticated user flags.
2. Give more weight to more recent flags.
3. Only use flags less than a specified number of days in calculations.

Display

Use Views to display flag based recommendations.

Note: When creating a view you should add the filter "Recommender: Application ID" (D6) or "Recommender Application: Application name" to limit the view to a single recommendation result set. The Application ID is listed on the Flag Recommender configuration page.

Export

Each flag recommendation configuration is stored in it's own Drupal variable named flag_rec_<id>, where <id> is the administrator supplied identifier entered for the configuration. Use Strongarm and Features for export and import.

Dependencies

This module depends on Recommender API and Flag 2.x.

Demo

The browsing history demo recommends content based on users' flag-based browsing history.
