A sidebox that shows the last 5 products they looked at.
A cookie that saved so when they return they can see the same
side box with the last 5 product they viewed.

Seen this in a couple of sites. Thought it would be a cool contribution.

hey,

just the other day i used some code that remembered what page you were visiting while you logged in.

could you not use that to "remember" the products in an array and then copy a sidebox module and change the code to suit?

might be easier if it can be done.

I have this on my cgi-based ClickCartPro site at http://classygroundcovers.com/ - I am moving it to a Zen Cart and would love to retain this feature as customers love it.

Why don't you like the current cart system?
Funny is I have looked up and down at other systems
but there is allways something lacking.

The only thing I like on your site, That I don't THINK that zen can do is
the way you drill down on the first box on the left to find your plant.
It looks in theory like a great idea. I am wondering if it would apply to ours....

If you are sold on that mod, Id make a post finding out if it can be done.

Our current cart has problems with synchronization with AuthorizeNet that cannot be resolved, a human must check frequently to avoid duplicate charges and charges that do not get recognized as having authorized properly.

Yes, I understand that I will have to build the custom search mod...

Post the Custom Search mod in the Wish List Forum

Maybe there is something like it, Or someone will take it on.

Its worth a shot.

I have just added a recently viewed module that i have running on one of my zencart stores.

Its the first time i have added a contribution, so not sure on how long it will take to get listed. If you need a copy asap, email or PM me.

Thank you guzzer

Thanks for the mod. Guzzer, I've installed it at my local setup and so far, it is working as advertized

As an aside, do you think it's easy enough to display the recently viewed items within the product column (that would be the center column in a 3-columns layout)? I ask this because both my left and right columns already has quite a no. of sideboxes.
