recently viewed

[honda-crunch]

I tried your site best4future.com and noticed you have got recently viewed to work properly with image handler, I am using IH3 with this mod and getting the same error as your query. Did you fix the issue yourself or find a post on this site? I have searched on and off for many hours with no luck almost to the point of keeping it like it is.

Well, I did not give up and I have now found a solution...

It now gives a full product name and loads up a medium size image with IH3

I am using Zencart 1.3.9h with Recenlty Viewed 1.1 and Image handler 3. I have tested on my site and found no errors in the cache log.

I thought I would post it here as I'm sure I am not the only one with this issue.

Here Goes:
Find php file: tpl_recent_products.php
located in: cart/includes/templates/sideboxes/

If like me you have extra templates then use:
cart/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/

Find line 11 which starts:

$content .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($recent_products->fields["products_id"]), 'products_id=' .
$recent_products->fields["products_id"]) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $recent_products->fields['products_image'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a><br />' . $recent_products->fields['products_name'] . '<br />' ;

Replace it with:

$content .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($recent_products->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($recent_products->fields['master_categories_id']) . '&products_id=' . $recent_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $recent_products->fields['products_image'], $recent_products->fields['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT);
$content .= '<br />' . $recent_products->fields['products_name'] . '</a>';

Don't touch any other file.
As I'm not a professional programmer, obviously I will not guarantee it. Please make a backup before you start.

The next thing to do is to show a price under each product!

Hi . I have installed the recently viewed module and it shows the recently viewed item in sidebox but I would like to have it underneath the product info page.. I have added the following code in my tpl_product_info_display.php page but it does not show anything

<!--bof recent products module-->
<?php require($template->get_template_dir ('tpl_modules_recent_products.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates') . '/tpl_modules_recent_products.php'); ?>
<!--eof recent products module-->


Any suggestion would be so appreciated

Old thread but I guess its still the best place to ask..

How long are the recent products for a visitor kept? Seems when I revisit my own store the sidebar is empty, after only 8 hours or so. Id like people to be able to see what they looked at 3 or 4 days ago, can this be done?

Also can the sidebar show a grid of 2x2? I find a 1 x 3 column takes up a bit much room.

There seems to be 2 mods that do this.
I checked one and it doesn't seem to store any visit data in the database..

So I assume it is stored in the current session. That means it will be active for 20 minutes without a key press.
The same time that items will remain in your shopping cart (without you being logged in).

You would have to adapt a mod such as the Save For Later mod which stores info in cookies to achieve what you want.

just wondering... is it possible to get this mod display recent viewed items on product listing page in a row and not in column?
