LiveSite-Targeting : Extending the User Profile-how to add custom properties

System

Hi,

ENV :- Teamsite 6.7.1 SP1, Livesite 3.0.2 ,Targeting 3.0.2

I want to add some custom properties to userprofile datatype. Any idea how we can add custom properties ?

Overview of Userprofile Datatype

Targeting Data Types

User Profile. The User Profile data type provides information about a basic
LiveSite user. The base user profile includes the
following properties:
???? id. Specifies a unique id.
???? userName. Specifies the user name, such as “joesmith.”
???? firstName. Specifies the user's first name, such as “Joe.”
???? lastName. Specifies the user's last name, such as “Smith.”


etc ....

I want to add some more properties like

???? music. Specifies interest in music. "rock"
???? games. Specifies interest in games such as “cricket.”


Any pointers for this issue would be very helpful.

Thanks
Vinay

We are struggling with the same question right now. i.e., We need to extend the Livesite User Profile to introduce another custom attribute, which in turn we intend to use within a content targeting rule (inside of a customer segment definition).

We are using the Livesite Default (database-driven) user profile store (and not any external user profile store). The question is the same - how do we extend it to introduce another attribute for the profile? What Code changes are required (do we need to extend the UserProfile or CustomUserProfile class), and what Hibernate mapping changes are required?

Any help would be appreciated.
