Description
A website should be made to deliver the best possible content for the readers. From this perspective, it is important to create personalized content. Wouldn't it be great, if TYPO3 could offer that as well?

Hi Carsten,
this is a balancing act between functionality and system requirements.
We've have been doing personalized content for quite some time but you need different software to be installed other than PHP and MySQL (which are our current system requirements).
So in order to add fully personalized content you need other means of data storage in order to make it run in a performant manner.
I do fully agree that these Feature would be neat, but given the current system requirements I rather envision these features to be part of a personalization suite that can be installed on top of the TYPO3 core

Hi,
I totally agree with Mathias here, doing personalization right it requires much more than the default MySQL/PHP web environment. But maybe I/we are thinking a bit too complicated and maybe you, Carsten, could please outline what personalization means in your scope - just some examples. Terms like inference and reasoning on a semantic level or even going the direction of the recent activity stream enhancements of the W3C social WG would just be too much for TYPO3's basic requirements in the core.
I'm looking forward to more specific input on that feature request. Thanks in advance.

Hi Matthias & Oliver,
I'm definitely none of the hardcore programmers, I'm more a content guy. But in my view, there would be a possible approach:
First you would have to create so called „personas“ in TYPO3 - with different characteristics: Country/City, time on the site, which pages were visited, male/female ... This characteristics could combined booleish. The "personas" are saved in a separate field in the table "tt_content".
The next step: All access data located i.e. in Google Analytics. These datasets have to get into the system somehow. There is a so called "Collection API". Is this a possible implementation: https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client/blob/master/src/Google/Model.php ?
Next: All content elements should get an additional selection field - very similarly as the „categories“. If a visitor should be identified as a specific „persona“, this content-element is rendering on the webpage.
As I said, I see it from a little different point of view, compared to a classic programmer. But if I can help you somehow, I'd love to…
Carsten
Edit: Therefore there is no need of special view helpers or things like this... and btw. solutions like pimcore based on PHP (zend framework) and MySQL too...

This sounds a little bit like the contexts extension. Did you already have a look at this?
And yes, something like this or the channels concept of Neos would be useful in the TYPO3 core.

Yes, thank you... The special concept of this new feature would be the usage of external tracking/targeting data...
