There is one bug in:
catalog/includes/column_right.php

at the end just before the closing ?> find:

// Start recently_viewed
if (SHOW_RECENTLY_VIEWED_COLUMN_BOX && basename ($PHP_SELF) != FILENAME_RECENTLY_VIEWED) {
require_once (DIR_WS_BOXES . 'recently_viewed.php');
} // if (SHOW_RECENTLY_VIEWED_COLUMN_BOX
// End recently_viewed

change to:

// Start recently_viewed
if (SHOW_RECENTLY_VIEWED_COLUMN_BOX == 'True' && basename ($PHP_SELF) != FILENAME_RECENTLY_VIEWED) {
require_once (DIR_WS_BOXES . 'recently_viewed.php');
} // if (SHOW_RECENTLY_VIEWED_COLUMN_BOX
// End recently_viewed

The wrong statement let the the recently viewed box show even it was deactivated in admin: show coloumn box = false

Hope this helps

No file included, only text with this instructons. Do the change on your catalog/includes/column_right.php file

Sorry for my poor english, i'm french.
I'm using a sold out button when the quantity of products is 0.
I would like to add the "sold out" instead of the button "buy" when the quantity of product = 0 in recently viewed.php
I found a solution,I hope that this will help someone, the code is not terrible but it works.

all HTML tages are stripped in order to avoid displaying invalid HTML codes in Recently Viewed list

catalog/Recently_Viewed.php

at line 87

replace

$description = $products['products_description'];

with

$description = tep_flatten_product_description($products['products_description']);

Two ways to display to correct price with tax

replace:

$info_box_text .= $currencies->display_price ($products_data[$products_id]['price'], tep_get_tax_rate ($products_data[$products_id]['products_tax_class_id']) );


with

$info_box_text .= $currencies->display_price ($products_data[$products_id]['price'], tep_get_tax_rate ($products_data[$products_id]['tax_class_id']) );



OR OR OR OR OR OR

replace

$products_data[$products_id] = array ('id' => $products_id,
'name' => $products['products_name'],
'image' => $products['products_image'],
'price' => $products['products_price'],
'tax_class_id' => $products['products_tax_class_id'] ///here is the mistake tax_class_id and in the 2 files it appends products_data[$products_id]['products_tax_class_id']
);


with

$products_data[$products_id] = array ('id' => $products_id,
'name' => $products['products_name'],
'image' => $products['products_image'],
'price' => $products['products_price'],
'products_tax_class_id' => $products['products_tax_class_id']
);


Hope this helps.

Recently Viewed Products(sales optimized)
Allows your customers to see what products they have recently viewed and then easily allows them to order those products.
In an infobox placed in either the right or left column a list of products viewed is displayed.
Your customer can then either click on the name of the product or click the "See More" button
for the page of recently viewed products. All the products on this page have a buy now button.
please check out the screen shot.

This is a very effective sales tool that minimizes clicks, making it is easy for a customer to
purchase items they have recently viewed. The object in retailing is to increase sales.
With this goal in mind, this contribution makes it easier for customers to buy these products.

All this is without slowing down the product info page (as no extra database queries are required there).
