I remember someone here asked the question, how to show a list of recently viewed products?
On the main page is visible by default.
But on the other pages of this functionality does not exist.
I suggest to use a solution that will display a list of the last viewed products:
<?php
// d0ublezer0 recent viewed products
function getRecentProducts($currentId){
$actualIds=false;
$rProducts=false;
$rSession = JFactory::getSession();
$rIds = $rSession->get('vmlastvisitedproductids', array(), 'vm'); // get recent viewed from browser session
if (is_array($rIds)){
foreach($rIds as $rId){
if ($rId!=$currentId) $actualIds[]=$rId; // cut out from array currently viewed product
}
}
if (is_array($actualIds)){
if (!class_exists('VirtueMartModelProducts')) // check possible if VM products class exists
JModel::addIncludePath(JPATH_VM_ADMINISTRATOR . DS . 'models'); // if not exists, add them
$rModel = JModel::getInstance('Product', 'VirtueMartModel');
$recent_products_rows = VmConfig::get('recent_products_rows'); // set in VM admin panel
$products_per_row = VmConfig::get('homepage_products_per_row'); // set in VM admin panel
$recent_products_count = $products_per_row * $recent_products_rows; // get max recent products count
$rProducts = $rModel->getProducts($actualIds, false, false); // no front, no calc, only published
}
if (is_array($rProducts)) $rProducts=array_slice($rProducts,0,$recent_products_count); // return only allowed num of products
return $rProducts;
}
$recentProducts=getRecentProducts($this->product->virtuemart_product_id);
if ($recentProducts){ // if we get recent products, display them
?>
<div class="product-recent-products">
<h2>Recently viewed products:</h2>
<ul class="recent-list">
<?php
foreach ($recentProducts as $rProduct) {
?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id='.$rProduct->virtuemart_product_id.'&virtuemart_category_id='.$rProduct->virtuemart_category_id); ?>">
<?php echo $rProduct->product_name; ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php
}
?>
This code must be inserted into your template view the product details.
Put this code in any place, where it should to be, according to your design.
For this purpose I used template file:
\templates\my_template\html\com_virtuemart\productdetails\default.php
copied from
\components\com_virtuemart\views\productdetails\tmpl\default.php
P.S. Tested on 2.0.12
This works great bar 1 thing. It shows the currently viewed product in the recent list.
Any idea how to hide it?

Heh, this code shows a list of recent products where it is not provided by developers.
In your case, I think it is enough to turn off the option "Show Recent Products" in VM settings.
Sorry I'll explain clearer.
When recently viewed products is viewed on the main shop page, where this code is taken from, you are not at that point viewing a product.
When you implement this code on a product page, it shows all recently viewed products including the product you are currently viewing.
This doesn't quite make sense to a user, so my question is, is there a way to get this to hide the listing for the current product but show all the other recently viewed products?
Make more sense?
Ok, change the logical part of the code to:
-- del --
I've updated code in first message.
good solution.

good solution.
Thank you. Updated code in first message.
I would also like to get the additional parameters of the products, in order to display this list with prices and pictures.
How can I override the theme/template for this item.
And also for the top10 theme
Thank you very much for the edits.
This is a great addition to the product details page.
Great!
Thanks a lot. Can be the image be displayed before the name?
And... can be the number of the items in the list diferent from the VM config? for example, I want 4 to be displayed in the frontpage but 6 in the list. (I have a problem cause in the admin i have 4 to show and only get 3... but i think that is another issue)
Thank you!

Exact same issue- I've tried putting in number, the code isn't getting to config file for some reason. If anyone has solution, that would be great. I need to get 12 recently viewed to display with manufacturer showing as well. The number is set in the config , but no matter what it is set to, this will only return 3. Any suggestions welcomed :)
Hello, anybody knows how to modify this code to show also the pictures of the latest products ? in my case when i put this code in default.php it only display 2 links of my latest products.
Hello, i modify the code and i manage to display the image of teh product too. But in my case it only display 2 of the recent viewed products what should i change to make it display the last 3 recent viewed products ?
I tried to make $recent_products_count = 3; but it didn't work.
Please any help ..
I have the same issue.
Put the code, but only two recently viewed products are showed.
Any ideas how to do this to show more?
My modification to show the images of the latest viewed products was the following.
....
<div class="product-recent-products">
<h2>Recently viewed products:</h2>
<ul class="recent-list">
<?php
foreach ($recentProducts as $rProduct) {
?>
<li>
<?php echo $this->product->images[0]->displayMediaFull('class="product-image"',false) ?>
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id='.$rProduct->virtuemart_product_id.'&virtuemart_category_id='.$rProduct->virtuemart_category_id); ?>">
<?php echo $rProduct->product_name; ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
The whole code remains the same and i also add this to display the image of the product too. <?php echo $this->product->images[0]->displayMediaFull('class="product-image"',false) ?>
BUT STILL DISPLAY ONLY 2 PRODUCTS !!! any ideas how to make it displays 3 of the latest viewed ?

With this I only get the same image of the product showing but not the recently viewed product images.
Also get only 2...
any heroe to the rescue?
Ok, finally I got 3 with images that is what i have in VM config:
<?php
// d0ublezer0 recent viewed products mixed with DaggaTora images and number of products
function getRecentProducts($currentId){
$actualIds=false;
$rProducts=false;
$rSession = JFactory::getSession();
$rIds = $rSession->get('vmlastvisitedproductids', array(), 'vm'); // get recent viewed from browser session
if (is_array($rIds)){
foreach($rIds as $rId){
if ($rId!=$currentId) $actualIds[]=$rId; // cut out from array currently viewed product
}
}
if (is_array($actualIds)){
if (!class_exists('VirtueMartModelProducts')) // check possible if VM products class exists
JModel::addIncludePath(JPATH_VM_ADMINISTRATOR . DS . 'models'); // if not exists, add them
$rModel = JModel::getInstance('Product', 'VirtueMartModel');
$recent_products_rows = VmConfig::get('recent_products_rows'); // set in VM admin panel
$products_per_row = VmConfig::get('homepage_products_per_row'); // set in VM admin panel
$recent_products_count = $products_per_row * $recent_products_rows; // get max recent products count
$rProducts = $rModel->getProducts($actualIds, false, false); // no front, no calc, only published
}
if (is_array($rProducts)) $rProducts=array_slice($rProducts,0,$recent_products_count); // return only allowed num of products
return $rProducts;
}
$recentProducts=getRecentProducts($rProducts->product->virtuemart_product_id);
if ($recentProducts){ // if we get recent products, display them
?>
<div class="product-recent-products">
<ul class="recent-list">
<?php
foreach ($recentProducts as $rProduct) {
?>
<li style="float: left;
width: 100%;"><?php echo $rProduct->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('class="featuredProductImage" style="max-width:50px;float:left;vertical-align:middle" border="0"',false) ;?>
<a style="padding-top: 14px !important;padding-left: 10px;float: left;" href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id='.$rProduct->virtuemart_product_id.'&virtuemart_category_id='.$rProduct->virtuemart_category_id); ?>">
<?php echo $rProduct->product_name; ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php
}
?>
but... how could i get rid of child products and show only parents?
PS:Bad news... it gives an error if you dont visit at least 3 products:
Fatal error: Call to a member function displayMediaThumb() on a non-object
This is because the line <?php echo $rProduct->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('class="featuredProductImage" style="max-width:50px;float:left;vertical-align:middle" border="0"',false) ;?> should be with $this bu it doesn´t work with $this.
... Help?! ::)
someone with a big soul and some php knowledge? ;)
Add
if (!class_exists('VmMediaHandler')) require(JPATH_VM_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'helpers'.DS.'mediahandler.php');
This should add functions for media handling, including displayMediaThumb(), located in file administrator\components\com_virtuemart\helpers\mediahandler.php:
/**
* This function displays the image, when the image is not already a resized one,
* it tries to get first the resized one, or create a resized one or fallback in case

* @param string $imageArgs Attributes to be included in the <img> tag.
* @param boolean $lightbox alternative display method
* @param string $effect alternative lightbox display
* @param boolean $withDesc display the image media description
*/
function displayMediaThumb($imageArgs='',$lightbox=true,$effect="class='modal' rel='group'",$return = true,$withDescr = false,$absUrl = false, $width=0,$height=0){
if(empty($this->file_name)){
if($return){
if($this->file_is_downloadable){
$file_url = $this->theme_url.'assets/images/vmgeneral/'.VmConfig::get('downloadable','zip.png');
$file_alt = JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_NO_IMAGE_SET').' '.$this->file_description;

$file_url = $this->file_url_thumb;

$media_path = JPATH_ROOT.DS.str_replace('/',DS,$this->file_url_thumb);

if ((empty($this->file_url_thumb) || !file_exists($media_path)) && is_a($this,'VmImage')) {
if(empty($width)) $width = VmConfig::get('img_width', 90);
if(empty($height)) $height = VmConfig::get('img_height', 90);

$query = 'UPDATE `#__virtuemart_medias` SET `file_url_thumb` = "'.$this->_db->getEscaped($this->file_url_thumb).'" WHERE `#__virtuemart_medias`.`virtuemart_media_id` = "'.(int)$this->virtuemart_media_id.'" ';
$this->_db->setQuery($query);
$this->_db->query();
}
if($withDescr) $withDescr = $this->file_description;
if (empty($this->file_url_thumb) || !file_exists($media_path)) {
return $this->getIcon($imageArgs,$lightbox,$return,$withDescr,$absUrl);
}
if($return) return $this->displayIt($file_url, $file_alt, $imageArgs,$lightbox,$effect,$withDescr,$absUrl);
}
or, you can use clean HTML code to display your image (possible only, if you already have thumb image)
or, else use function displayIt() from mediaHandler class
By the way - your code should not to work. Did you really test it?
Your mistakes:
srekoble,
$this->product->images[0]
reflects current product
DaggaTora,
$rProduct->images[0]
will always be empty, because $rModel->getProducts did not return images
Oh, okay, there is fully working solution, created today, much better and much simple (just throw old code from first post to trash, and change him to this) :
<?php
// d0ublezer0 recently viewed products -- start --
// first, cleanup the variables, just in case
$actualIds=false;
$recentProducts=false;
$rSession = JFactory::getSession();
$rIds = $rSession->get('vmlastvisitedproductids', array(), 'vm'); // get recent viewed from browser session
if (is_array($rIds)){
foreach($rIds as $rId){
if ($rId!=$currentId) $actualIds[]=$rId; // cut out from array currently viewed product
}
}
if (is_array($actualIds)){
$recent_products_rows = VmConfig::get('recent_products_rows'); // set in VM admin panel
$products_per_row = VmConfig::get('homepage_products_per_row'); // set in VM admin panel
// override next line to define number of recent to display, for example: $recent_products_count = 7;
$recent_products_count = $products_per_row * $recent_products_rows; // get max recent products count
$productModel = VmModel::getModel('product');
$mediaModel = VmModel::getModel('Media');
$recentProducts = $productModel->getProducts($actualIds, false, false); // no front, no calc, only published
$mediaModel->addImages($recentProducts,1); // Digit 1 - is the limit of returned product images. For recent list usually you wil be need only one picture
}
if (is_array($recentProducts)) // if we have recent products
$recentProducts=array_slice($recentProducts,0,$recent_products_count); // return only allowed num of products
if ($recentProducts){ // if we get recent products, display them
?>
<div class="product-recent-products">
<h2>Recently viewed products:</h2>
<ul class="recent-list">
<?php
foreach ($recentProducts as $rProduct) {
?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id='.$rProduct->virtuemart_product_id.'&virtuemart_category_id='.$rProduct->virtuemart_category_id); ?>">
<?php
// images[0] - this is first image in images list of the current processed recent product
// also, you can use ->file_url for the full image
echo '<img src="'.$rProduct->images[0]->file_url_thumb.'" />';
echo $rProduct->product_name;
?>
</a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php
}
// d0ublezer0 recently viewed products -- end --
?>
With images, tested on 2.0.18
Absolutly perfect!!!! ;D
Thank you very very very very much! This should be implemented in a module inside aio.
Thanks, glad to help.
Little hint:
$mediaModel->addImages($recentProducts,1);
Digit 1 - is the limit of returned product images.
For recent list usually you wil be need only one picture. Also, you can get more images by defining greater number.
Hi d0ublezer0, Thanx for the code but it display warning message on 2.0.20 "COM_VIRTUEMART_MEDIA_CHOOSE_TYPE".
Thank's, very good

Hi d0ublezer0, Thanx for the code but it display warning message on 2.0.20 "COM_VIRTUEMART_MEDIA_CHOOSE_TYPE".
This message appears when you view the product with noimage.gif.
How to fix it?
Funny thing about this post. Virtuemart already has a recently viewed module. Its the top ten. Thanks to virtueplanet I learned this.
Open up your modules\mod_virtuemart_product\mod_virtuemart_product.xml and find this line <option value="topten">MOD_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_BEST_SALES</option> and add below <option value="recent">Recently Viewed Products</option>
Open your module and adjust accordingly. Voila

Hi
I have problem the recently viewed product only showed after clear cache.is there any solution for this problem.
Hello, guys! Glad to see you again ;)
I give you another fresh and simpy solution:
<?php
$productModel = VmModel::getModel('Product');
$recent_products["products"] = $productModel->getProductListing('recent', 6);
if (count($recent_products["products"]) > 1) {
// current product will be always in recent, so we need more than 1
?>
<h2>Recently viewed</h2>
<?php
// check current product
$current_key = false;
foreach ($recent_products["products"] as $key => $prd) {
if ($prd->virtuemart_product_id == $this->product->virtuemart_product_id) {
$current_key = $key;
}
}
// and remove him from recent list
if ($current_key !== false) unset($recent_products["products"][$current_key]);
$productModel->addImages($recent_products["products"], 1);
echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('products', array('products' => $recent_products, 'currency' => $this->currency));
} }
You able to use it on product details page and anywhere else.
