A few more things:

line 50:

$output =

recommend

$output = '';

Also, in file includes\modules\content\product_info\cm_pi_recently_viewed.php

It looks like you are referencing a variables $product_check on line 56:

if ($product_check['total'] > 0) { //We don't want to add products that don't exist/are not available

Due to the variable not existing, the if statement will always be null so the lines 56 thru 83 can just be removed.

It appears that you have several configurable options (MODULE_CONTENT_PRODUCT_INFO_RECENTLY_VIEWED_SHOW_DESCRIPTION and others); however, when defining the array they may not exist. I would recommend the following changes:

Current Lines 116 to 137

        $products_query .= "     from products_description pd,

        $products_query = tep_db_query($products_query);
        while ($products = tep_db_fetch_array ($products_query) ) {
           $products_id = $products['products_id'];
           $products_name = tep_get_products_name($products['products_id']);
           $products_specials_price = tep_get_products_special_price($products_id);
           $products_data[$products_id] = array ('id' => $products_id,

                                                      );

should be modified to:

                                                 }

Note that you are joining the specials to the product query; however, you are using the tep_get_products_special_price.

Again, these are just recommendations. I have only tested the product_info module and all appears to work as described with the changes I have suggested.

For 234BS, the instructions should include to add recently_viewed.php to the Equal Height Divs Header Tag module. I have a test product with an extremely long name and if you do not have it added, the grid view does not properly line up. Adding file to the Equal Height Divs list solved it.

Not sure if this is how it was intended to work or not.

line 50:

$output =

This can just be removed, it is left from develop and only used in the ht_recently_viewed_edit_pages function and correct defined there at line 142.

Also, in file includes\modules\content\product_info\cm_pi_recently_viewed.php

It looks like you are referencing a variables $product_check on line 56:

Yes, also left from develop. All this section has been moved to the header tags module in order to get the visited products also registered if the product_info module is not used. It would work if $product_check is added to the global list (and it was added), it is defined in product_info.php. So you are right, it can be removed.

It appears that you have several configurable options (MODULE_CONTENT_PRODUCT_INFO_RECENTLY_VIEWED_SHOW_DESCRIPTION and others); however, when defining the array they may not exist. I would recommend the following changes:

                                                 }

This seems to be only a execution time issue and I'm not sure if it's faster to have some unneeded elements in the array or to execute additional if statements. I would rather leave this as is. It was also done like this in the original contribution.

Note that you are joining the specials to the product query; however, you are using the tep_get_products_special_price.

Yes, this can be removed it's left from the old version where the tep_get_products_special_price function wasn't used. The same for the index module and the box. The query would look then like this:

        $products_query .= "     from products_description pd,
                                      products p 
                              where p.products_id in (" . $recently_viewed_string . ") 
                                and p.products_status = '1' 
                                and p.products_id = pd.products_id 
                               and pd.language_id = '" . (int) $languages_id . "' 
                            ";

For 234BS, the instructions should include to add recently_viewed.php to the Equal Height Divs Header Tag module. I have a test product with an extremely long name and if you do not have it added, the grid view does not properly line up. Adding file to the Equal Height Divs list solved it.

OK, can be added, but it is mentioned in the product info module:

Height mode

How should the height of each product box be adjusted. 'Equal Height' uses the Equal Height jquery script. Fixed Height uses the Height specified in the next field. 'None' adjusts the height depending on the content

I'll wait for your feedback and then upload the update with the fixes/changes.

Thank You!!

I haven't had a chance to test out the speed difference between the if statements and the sql query. As I mentioned, came across an Undefined variable, $products['products_description'], and like to clean these up. It allows for easier troubleshooting. ;)

While your cleaning up includes\modules\header_tags\ht_recently_viewed.php. Doesn't look like the following used as well.

lines 88 - 90

        if (in_array(basename($PHP_SELF), $pages_array)) {
           $oscTemplate->addBlock($output, $this->group);
        }

Just a question, why did you select 'footer_scripts' and not 'header_tags" for the group?

Also, after testing it out a little, I noticed that if you click on a product #29 then click around then go back to the product #29, the list does not reset product #29 to the front. I played around with the code and came up with a solution. Not sure if you are interested or would like to keep the functionality as is.

PS - I truly appreciate your addons. I hope you take my suggestions as positive feedback... I figure you spent the time to contribute and that I should give back.

Hello @@marcello,

I wouldn't do changes if there is not a real important reason to do it. In the core files (index.php for product listing) and other add-ons there are also queries which retrieve all product or customer information which is not always all used.

While your cleaning up includes\modules\header_tags\ht_recently_viewed.php. Doesn't look like the following used as well.

lines 88 - 90

        if (in_array(basename($PHP_SELF), $pages_array)) {
           $oscTemplate->addBlock($output, $this->group);
        }

Yes, this is wrong placed. It should be moved to line 49:

        if (in_array(basename($PHP_SELF), $pages_array)) { // register only if page is selected

this needs to be removed as there is no output:

           $oscTemplate->addBlock($output, $this->group);

and the closing } stays where it is.

Like this the page selector can be used to exclude the reviews page. I'll add it now to have it included in the page list by default.

Just a question, why did you select 'footer_scripts' and not 'header_tags" for the group?

I thought it needs to be used at the bottom of the page, so $product_check is defined. But now I found by testing that only the output would be done in the footer or header if changing. The script is executed after the main content, so $product_check is also defined and it would work the same in the header_tag group. However, any reason for to include it in header_tags??

Also, after testing it out a little, I noticed that if you click on a product #29 then click around then go back to the product #29, the list does not reset product #29 to the front. I played around with the code and came up with a solution. Not sure if you are interested or would like to keep the functionality as is.

Yes, that's a good idea. I found this modification:

        		} else {
        			$recently_viewed_array = explode (',', $recently_viewed_string);
        			if (in_array ($products_id, $recently_viewed_array) ) {
        				$recently_viewed_string = str_replace(',' . $products_id, null, $recently_viewed_string); // remove visited products ID and put in first place in the next step
        			}
        			$recently_viewed_string = $products_id . ',' . $recently_viewed_string; //Add the products ID to the beginning of the variable
        		}

Let me know what you think.

PS - I truly appreciate your addons. I hope you take my suggestions as positive feedback... I figure you spent the time to contribute and that I should give back.

and I appreciate your reports ansd suggestions. However I prefer to modify working stuff only if there are errors or important reasons.

Thank you very much and kindest regards

Completely agree. Just as of now, products_description is added to the query based on the if statement; however, it is referenced as a established variable a few lines later. I was just bringing attention to this.

Yes, that's a good idea. I found this modification:

        		} else {

Let me know what you think.

I like your method as it was more simplified than what I came up with; however, this may break the system. If you click on product #13, it will remove any product that starts with 13. For example, product #133 would get merged with the product before by appending #3 to the end. The following is what I came up with. Several more lines of code though.

        if ($recently_viewed_string == '') { // No other products
          $recently_viewed_string = (string) $products_id; // So set the variable to the current products ID
        } else {
          if (strstr($recently_viewed_string,',')) {
           $recently_viewed_array = explode (',', $recently_viewed_string);
           if (!in_array ($products_id, $recently_viewed_array) ) {
              $recently_viewed_string = $products_id . ',' . $recently_viewed_string; //Add the products ID to the beginning of the variable
           } else {
              $recently_viewed_string = "";
              foreach($recently_viewed_array as $existing_recently_viewed) {
                if ($products_id != $existing_recently_viewed) $recently_viewed_string .= ($recently_viewed_string == '' ? '' : ',') .$existing_recently_viewed; //Add the products ID to the beginning of the variable
              }
              $recently_viewed_string = $products_id . ',' . $recently_viewed_string; //Add the products ID to the beginning of the variable
           }

          }
        }

Last, regarding header_tags or footer_scripts. I didn't see any output to the catalog side so I was just curious.

Just checked and found that it doesn't work, if it's the last in the list it will not be found and removed, no coma behind the number.

We need to use preg_replace:

Completely agree. Just as of now, products_description is added to the query based on the if statement; however, it is referenced as a established variable a few lines later. I was just bringing attention to this.

I was blind and didn't see it. Ok, it's not coherent, I'll change it.

Final code used in 3.2r4 to place the most recent product first when visited again and avoid duplicate entries for all cases is this:

Hey Rainer. Had me a crazy past several days. I took a look at your code and think it works well. Take a look at the following. It works well and a few less lines of code. ;)

                // We only want a product to display once, so check that the product is not already in the session variable
               $products_id = (int) $_GET['products_id'];
               if ($recently_viewed_string == '') { // No other products
                   $recently_viewed_string = (string) $products_id; // So set the variable to the current products ID
               } else {
                   $recently_viewed_array = explode (',', $recently_viewed_string);
                   if (in_array ($products_id, $recently_viewed_array) ) {
                       $recently_viewed_string = $products_id . ',' . preg_replace('%\b,' . $products_id . '\b%', null, $recently_viewed_string); // remove visited products ID and put in first place in the next step
                   } else {
                       $recently_viewed_string = $products_id . ',' . $recently_viewed_string; //Add the products ID to the beginning of the variable
                   }
               }

PS: I like the logic of the above code as the if statements make it pretty easy to follow; however, if you wanted you can always just run the preg_replace and save a few more lines. Take a look:

                // We only want a product to display once, so check that the product is not already in the session variable
               $products_id = (int) $_GET['products_id'];
               if ($recently_viewed_string == '') { // No other products
                   $recently_viewed_string = (string) $products_id; // So set the variable to the current products ID
               } else {
                   $recently_viewed_string = $products_id . ',' . preg_replace('%\b,' . $products_id . '\b%', null, $recently_viewed_string); // remove visited products ID and put in first place in the next step
               }

I found that if you clicked on the same product or refreshed the screen while on a product it would duplicate the item in the list. The preg didn't address if the item was already at the front of the list.

                // We only want a product to display once, so check that the product is not already in the session variable
               $products_id = (int) $_GET['products_id'];
               if ($recently_viewed_string == '') { // No other products
                   $recently_viewed_string = (string) $products_id; // So set the variable to the current products ID
               } elseif ($recently_viewed_string != $products_id) {
                   $recently_viewed_string = $products_id . ',' . preg_replace('%\b' . $products_id . ',\b%', null, preg_replace('%\b,' . $products_id . '\b%', null, $recently_viewed_string)); // remove visited products ID and put in first place in the next step
               }

I'm sure you can come up with a more efficient way of handling the preg_replace.

I was analyzing the sql queries on my dev site and noticed that the code initiates two queries for the name and special price.

Please note that doing as I mentioned above does cause the size of the boxes to change throughout the page. This is due to the equal-height. If this is something that is worth pursuing, there are several other changes that would allow for the more consistent view depending on page. This has to do with the <hr> and the View/Buy button.

In my implementation I had wanted recently_viewed.php products sorting to reflect recently view so I had made a change to the sort order as such...i hope you may find it useful...

      case 'PRODUCT_LIST_ID':
        $listing_sql .= " order by field(p.products_id," . $recently_viewed_string . ") " . ($sort_order == 'd' ? 'desc' : '');
        //$listing_sql .= " order by p.products_id " . ($sort_order == 'd' ? 'desc' : '');

Hi Rainer

I suspect I may have "stuffed up".

When I update using the latest version, it still shows that the installed module is

"Current Version
3.2r3 BS" on the installed modules

Also

Show the product price
True

Show the VIEW and BUY buttons
True (doesn't show as an option, just doesn't appear)

Show the product MORE button
True

Just wondering if perhaps I have some "old" code somewhere which I havent removed at some stage during uypdates.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Cheers

Show the VIEW and BUY buttons
True (doesn't show as an option, just doesn't appear)

Show the product MORE button

Is from the modules>contente>recently viewed page
