Displaying Product Viewed in the product_info_diplay

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there is any way I can display how many time my products has been viewed on each individual product page!

Thank youuuu

You might peek at the Reports in your Zen Cart Admin ...

Hi,

Thank you for the fast respond, I do understand it is located in the reports but I would like to show that same number for each product in the product description page.

Basically the same option utilized by youtube where it shows how many times a video has been viewed.

The Report on the Viewed Products counts the view from the product_info page ...

How can I view that count on the page as well? Thank you

One method you can use is:

  <?php
  // bof: get product views
    $products_viewed_raw = "select p.products_id, pd.products_viewed from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where p.products_id = '" . (int)$_GET['products_id'] . "' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "'";
    $products_views = $db->Execute($products_viewed_raw);
    echo ($products_views->fields['products_viewed'] > 0 ? '<li>' . 'Views: ' . $products_views->fields['products_viewed'] . '</li>' . "\n" : '');
  // eof: get product views
  ?>

Another method is with a function:

  <?php echo ( zen_products_lookup((int)$_GET['products_id'], 'products_viewed') > 0 ? '<li>' . 'Views: ' . zen_products_lookup((int)$_GET['products_id'], 'products_viewed') . '</li>' : '') . "\n"; ?>

That is just perfect. Thank you so much :smile:

You are most welcome ... thanks for the update that this is now working for you ... :smile:

hi,

is it possible to put this in the admin section, in the table of the products, between the status and the sort-order for example, this could give us some useful information about the products in the shop.

regards,

You could customize the:
/admin/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php

                <td class="dataTableContent" align="right"><?php echo $products->fields['products_quantity']; ?></td>

and change to:

                <td class="dataTableContent" align="right"><?php echo $products->fields['products_quantity'] . '<br>' . zen_products_lookup((int)$products->fields['products_id'], 'products_viewed'); ?></td>

This would then show below the Quantity ...

Thanks,

that works perfect,

I've put it on the same line as the stock, with a few spaces, that makes it a bit easier to see,

regards,
