I have done the following
1. Extended the "Targeting Context" Profile by adding a
field "TargetProduct"
2. Based on this using BizDesk I created a "Target
Group" where the Expression is TargetProduct="SKU" and
the Action is "Target"
3. In an advertising campaign I created an Advertisement
where "Page Group" was "ALL" and the above TargetGroup
was the assigned target group.
4. I'm trying to retrieve the ad like so...
Dim oCommerceContext As CommerceContext
Dim oCS As ContentSelector
oCommerceContext = CommerceContext.Current
oCommerceContext.TargetingSystem.TargetingContextProfile
("PageGroup").Value = "All"
oCommerceContext.TargetingSystem.TargetingContextProfile
("TargetProduct").Value = ProductID
oCS = oCommerceContext.TargetingSystem.SelectionContexts
("Advertising").GetSelector()
If Not oCS Is Nothing Then
oCS.Profiles.Add("targetingContext",
oCommerceContext.TargetingSystem.TargetingContextProfile)
If oCommerceContext.AuthenticationInfo.IsAuthenticated
() Then
oCS.Profiles.Add("user",
oCommerceContext.UserProfile)
End If
oCS.ItemsRequested = 3
oCS.Size = "Button1"
m_arDiscounts = oCS.GetContent()
If m_arDiscounts.Count > 0 Then
productDiscountsDisplay.DataSource = m_arDiscounts
productDiscountsDisplay.DataBind()
End If
End If
Now what is happening is that the ad is being shown for
every product, While I wanted only where the target group
condition is true.
Is there something I missed ? How can cause the selection
framework to return this only when the target group is
exactly matched.
HELP !

>Unfornately, there is no direct out-of-box solution for
the scenario you describe, which is more like predict
discounts based on product. The content selection feature
provided by

user profile or target context. What you want is
targetted by product/SKU.

targeting context, for example,
called "TargetedProduct". for each discount, you create
a target expression, which is
>TargetingContext.TargetedProduct = <SKU value>". And in
the runtime code, for each request to the product page,
your site code is in charge of adding corresponding SKU
(s) to the
>targeting context's TargetedProduct property.
(CommerceContext.Current.TargetingSystem.TargetingContextP
rofile ) And running ContentSelector should get the
targetted discounts.

in one page, you will probably get more than one returned
applicable discounts. You probably have to use the site
code to

product.
