How do I trigger a profile in Sitecore DMS?

Question

I am looking for a way to allow visitors to select what content they want displayed on the site.

Is there a way to programatically trigger a profile in Sitecore DMS?

Answer 1

I have received a response from Sitecore support on this question. Here it is:

"If you are using pattern cards for personalzation, then you can use the following code as the event handler for "item selected" event for the dropdown list:"

var profile = Sitecore.Analytics.Tracker.CurrentVisit.GetOrCreateProfile("");
profile.BeginEdit();
profile.Score("",);
profile.Score("",);
profile.UpdatePattern(); //sets the appropriate pattern based on the current profile keys values you have just set.
profile.EndEdit();

This interferes with automatic profile matching, so I am not sure I want to use this approach.
