This is one of the most common features in Magento asked by the clients from a Magento developer. • It must have some customizations in terms of number products to be displayed and location of it. • I use to teach to my Magento training students in some easy to follow steps. • There is an option under CMS->Widgets that does magic actually. Widgets option in Magento is a feature that collects a number of useful information blocks from database automatically to show in a store. • You can create ‘recently viewed products’ from Widgets option too but how would you show in a particular region on a website of a particular page is little complex. You can display a widget directly on a particular page or you can insert a widget in a ‘Block’ and then can insert that block in a page or you can insert a widget directly into a CMS Page too.
Let me explain the best and most suitable option from all. I would refer to use Widgets directly to show recently viewed products on specific pages in Magento. Follow the following given steps please: • 1. Click on CMS->Widgets
2. Click on the ‘Add new widget instance’ • 3. Select Type->Recently Viewed Products
4. Select Design Package Theme->Your Theme • 5. Click on Continue Button
6. In Frontend Properties • a. Give the Widget Instance Title • b. Assign to store views->All Store Views • c. Scroll a little down and you will notice a ‘Layout updates’ section
i. Click on Add Layout Updates • ii. Display On -> Specified Page (you can select any other option too) • 1. Page->(Select your desired page) • 2. Block Reference->(Select your reference to show it) • 7. In Widget Options • a. Set ’Number of Products to display’
8. Click on ‘Save’ button and check your specified page. • Note: Don’t forget to clear the cache if you don’t see anything. Let me know if you have any doubt in comment please. or email us: info@admecindia.co.in
