Setup Guide

In order to use the Youneeq Panel, this site must be registered with the Youneeq database. Please contact a Youneeq representative in order to enable recommendations on this site.

The recommendation panel can be added to a page in one of two ways: as a widget (easiest method), or through page templates (more advanced). To add the Youneeq Panel as a widget:

  1. Go to the “Widgets” menu (under the “Appearance” section in the admin menu)
  2. Select one of the three Youneeq widgets. Note that the Youneeq Observer widget does not actually display any recommendations, and the Youneeq Panel (Landing) widget does not send Post metadata to the Youneeq server.
  3. To add the widget to the page, either click and drag it into the desired widget container on the right side, or click it and select the desired widget container from the drop-down menu.
  4. Customize the widget's title, maximum article count and category filter in the widget settings if desired
To add the Youneeq Panel to a page template, add the following line of code to your template where you want the panel to appear:

Youneeq_Panel\recommend(-1);

If you want to include more than one recommendation panel in a page template, each one must have a different identifier (change -1 to a unique negative integer). To customize the behavior of the panel, see the code documentation in “lib/yq_panel.php”.

The site-wide appearance and behavior of the recommendation panel can be configured in the Youneeq settings menu. Hover over the “Settings” option on the admin menu and select “Youneeq” from the list that appears.
