Bonnier Publications - WordPress cXense plugin

This plugin enables your WordPress site to integrate with cXense. It adds the meta tags and scripts needed by cXense in order to scan your site. It also calls cXense whenever you make changes to your content. Finally it adds the possibility to save a cXense recommendation widget per content type and provides hooks to call them in your view/theme.

Requirements

• WordPress 4.3 or higher
• Language support (Optional) Polylang plugin must installed and activated version 1.8.4 or higher
• PHP 7.1 or higher

Installation/Configuration

Install through composer:

composer require benjaminmedia/wp-cxense

Download lastest release from: https://github.com/BenjaminMedia/wp-cxense/releases And unzip and place in your /wp-content/plugins directory.

Settings

Once you have installed and activated the plugin then make sure that you have a set of api credentials for the cXense API. Once you have your credentials you may go to the settings page labeled cXense. Here you must enter your cXense Site ID, cXense API user, cXense API key and finally your cXense Organisation prefix.

Remember the plugin will not work until you check the Enable switch in the settings page

Widgets

The plugin will generate a CX Widget ID settings field for each post type you have available on your WordPress Installation. Here you must enter the cXense recommendation widget ID that you would like represented on your content type.

For debug purpose you can enable or disable the query cache. It is recommended to be enabled in production.

SortBy Widget ID will be only used for widgets sortby options in wp-base.

Rendering widgets

In order to render the widgets available for your post you should make sure that you have filled out the CX widget ID field in the plugin settings page.

When rendering the widgets the plugin provides you with two options:

1. Let cXense render the HTML of the widgets
2. Get the data and for the widget and build the HMTL yourself

Once you have picked the method you want to use you should go to the theme file that represents the single view of your post_type from this file you may call the following methods to get the widget data:

Let cXense render the HTML of the widgets

WpCxense::instance()->render_widget();

The sample output of this function could look like:

<div id="targetElement">
        <script type="text/javascript">
            document.write(data.response.template + '\n');
        </script>

Searching documents

If the key 'query' is missing from the search array then a DocumentSearchMissingSearch exception is thrown.

Search

WpCxense::instance()->search_documents([
    'query' => 'search_term', // mandatory
    'page' => 1, // optional, defaults to 1
    'count' => 10, // optional, defaults to 10
    'filter_operator => 'AND', // optional, defaults to OR
    'filter' => [ // optional
        'field' => [
            'value',
        ],
    ],
    'filter_exclude' => [ // optional
        'field' => [
             'value',
        ],
    ],
    'facets' => [ // optional
        0 => [
            'type' => 'string',
            'field' => 'field'
        ],

            'stop' => '</em>',
            'length' => 50
        ]
    ]
]);

Searching documents will return an object of the following format:

object(stdClass)[543]
  public 'facets' =>
    array (size=2)
      0 =>
        object(stdClass)[538]
          public 'buckets' =>
            array (size=6)
              ...
      1 =>
        object(stdClass)[542]
          public 'buckets' =>
            array (size=3)
              ...
  public 'totalCount' => int 79
  public 'matches' =>

          public 'score' => float 2.0455377
          public 'fields' =>
            array (size=10)
              ...
          public 'highlights' =>
            array (size=1)
              ...

      array (size=1)

            public 'suggestions' =>
              array (size=0)
                ...

The 'matches' key contains an array of objects that have the 'fields' value accessible directly through the magic method __get(). This means that you can call any field from the 'fields' with the direct pointer:

$objResults->matches[0]->author;

A complete document result looks like:

                    ->get();
