 * Hi there. I’m working with your great plugin and have it figured out how to create
   a “recommendation engine” with it. I’m interested in finding out if it’s possible
   to display clickable results from post types, e.g. display the links to post 
   pages based on the user’s selection. For example, if the results total 53, may
   I create a field with post type entries and assign a number of 53 to it which
   will, in turn, display said post type entries as the results?
 * Thanks, in advance, for any help you might offer.

 * Hello [@korym](https://wordpress.org/support/users/korym/)
 * Your description implies different factors.
 * First, you need some kind of database with the score of posts and then based 
   on an equation result, obtain the list of posts from the database. The solution
   is not simple and there are missing a lot of details in your description, but
   even without them, I think your project can be implemented using the Developer
   version of the plugin. It is distributed with the DS fields (a set of fields 
   whose values are read from an external data-sources, like a database or CSV file).
   More information in the following post of the plugin’s blog:

 * Thanks much for your reply, Code Peeps. 🙂 I was wondering if making use of the
   DS fields would help. I’ll certainly check out the Developer version.
 * If I’m understanding correctly, I could assign a dedicated score to a product
   in the form of a CPT, e.g. products A, B, C & D have a score of 53 while products
   X, Y and Z have a score of 59 (I’m anticipating using prime numbers to make the
   math a bit easier). A visitor’s results might equal 53 and a list of products
   A, B, C & D would display, courtesy of the [post type option](https://cff.dwbooster.com/blog/2019/02/14/ds/?index=1#post-type)
   which matches the products’ score of 53. Does that sound feasible? If so, is 
   it possible have the products display in a hyperlinkable fashion?
 * I appreciate it!
 * Regards,
    Kory

 * Hello [@korym](https://wordpress.org/support/users/korym/)
 * As I said in the previous ticket, there are many details that are not present
   in your project’s description. However, I guess that would be possible to implement
   it using our plugin.
 * Best regards.
