### Known issues

 * Does not support products that are sold only in a group product but NOT individually
   in the store
    - A group product consists of multiple simple products and the group is tagged
      on the product page
       while the individual simple products in the group are
      tagged in the cart and order

## Installation

Before proceeding please make sure that you are running WordPress 3.5 or above and
WooCommerce 2.0.0 or above.

Please refer to the WordPress documentation on how to get the plugin to appear in
your installation admin section.

Once the plugin appears in your installation, you must activate it. Navigate to 
the “Plugins” section and locate the
 “WooCommerce Tiresias Tagging” plugin. The
activation is done simply by clicking the “Activate” link next to the plugin name
in the list.

The activation procedure will create a new page called “Top Sellers”. This page 
can be found and edited under the
 “Pages” section in the backend. The page contains
a single div element that is used to show product recommendations. A link to the
page should appear in the shops main navigation menu.

The plugin uses the WordPress Action API to add content to the shop. However, there
are a few actions that will have to
 be added to the shops theme in order for the
plugin to function to its full extent.

 * wcnt_before_search_result
    - This action should be called above the search result list on the on search
      pages
    - You need to add `<?php do_action('wcnt_before_search_result'); ?>` in your
      themes search page template at the
       appropriate location
    - Please note that this only applies to the WordPress search and not the WooCommerce
      search
       * If you are using the WooCommerce search, you do not need to add any actions
         to the templates
 * wcnt_after_search_result
    - This action should be called below the search result list on the on search
      pages
    - You need to add `<?php do_action('wcnt_after_search_result'); ?>` in your 
      themes search page template at the
       appropriate location
    - Please note that this only applies to the WordPress search and not the WooCommerce
      search
       * If you are using the WooCommerce search, you do not need to add any actions
         to the templates
 * wcnt_before_main_content
    - This action should be called at the beginning of every page in the shop
    - You need to add `<?php do_action('wcnt_before_main_content'); ?>` in your 
      themes header template, inside the main
       content section
 * wcnt_after_main_content
    - This action should be called at the end of every page in the shop
    - You need to add `<?php do_action('wcnt_after_main_content'); ?>` in your themes
      footer template, inside the main
       content section

Once you have activated the plugin and added the necessary actions, you need to 
configure the plugin. The plugins
 configuration page can be found under the “Settings-
>Store” section, in the tab called “Tiresias Tagging”.

The configuration page consists of three settings:

 * Server address
    - This is the server address for the Tiresias marketing automation service
    - It will have the default value of “connect.tiresias.com” and you do not need
      to change this
 * Account name
    - This is your Tiresias marketing automation service account name that you got
      when registering for the service
 * Use default Tiresias elements
    - This setting controls if the plugin should create and output the default Tiresias
      elements for showing the product
       recommendations
    - You can disable the defaults if you want to use your own elements in your 
      theme

All of the above settings are needed for the plugin to work.

The “Tiresias Tagging” widget added by the plugin for showing Tiresias elements 
in the shops sidebars, needs to be configured
 if you wish to use it. The widget
can be found under the “Appearance->Widgets” section and it works like any other
WordPress widget. After dropping the widget in the appropriate sidebar container,
you need to configure its Tiresias ID. This ID is used as the Tiresias element div
ID attribute and can be whatever you decide.
