recently viewed

honda-crunch:

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!
Thanks ,by following this NOW THE IMAGES ARE ENLARGED IN RECENTLY VIEWED,JUST NEED THE CODE TO SHOW THE PRICE AS WELL ,THANKS AGAIN..

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?
