Document General

[Astarkley]

Is there a way to have a "general document product" generate a product viewed report ? Example when I create a "general product" I can look at products viewed in the admin panel and it will give me the number of the times the product has been viewed. I'd like that same report for general documents.

They are included in this report along with music type

When I first began putting products on my site I put them up as "product - general" I then switched to putting them up as "document - general" because the layout is better for what I'm doing however I began to notice that products listed as "product - general" have product viewed reports but products listed as "document - general" do not generate a number of times viewed number. Is it possible to have this report for "document general" listings?

but products listed as "document - general" do not generate a number of times viewed numbe

I am using 1.3.8a - and the # viewed is represented for "Document General"

Yes, I know but do you know if it's possible to get the same report for a "document general" listing ?

Document General is included in the reporting...

I'm running 1.3.8 and It seems the products I originally listed as "product - general" appear in the products viewed report but the ones I have added to the site as"document general" do not. I'm not sure why this happens; perhaps I have a setting issue?

Actually, the information is collected in the datatbase but not displayed on the Best Products Viewed Report as most do not need to see those ...

This is based on the Product Types setting for does the Product get added to the cart ...

To alter the Report you can edit the file:
stats_products_viewed.php

and change this code:

// only show low stock on products that can be added to the cart
    if ($zc_products->get_allow_add_to_cart($products->fields['products_id']) == 'Y') {
      $rows++;

// only show low stock on products that can be added to the cart
    if (true || $zc_products->get_allow_add_to_cart($products->fields['products_id']) == 'Y') {
      $rows++;

And now all Product Types will be displayed, even if they cannot be added to the cart ...
