Recently Viewed Products

Hi, I’ve recently got hold of the beta of Actinic v10 and wanting to get to grips with the new version until the full version is available. I'm very impressed with the new features and can see that Actinic is developing this software by listening to its customers.

Had no troubles importing our snapshot and response time of this new version is slightly better than 9 and a little quicker at exporting snapshots.

There were a few design elements that did appear different, but a little bit of tinkering soon corrected that.

My post is to understand the recently view product marketing function and see if anyone has had it working fully?

At the moment in Actinic it is generating a list (actually 2 list :P) as I click on various products throughout the catalog, but when I upload the site to out test server it doesn't seem to generate anything as I browse the site. Is this because I am in test mode?

If anyone has already had a play with it and has any advice as how to configure it properly please let me know

I've attached some pictures to show you what i'm seeing.

Also you can browse our test site at the following address:

you need to go take a look at the getsatisfaction site were bugs are reports. Imported sites using external style sheets will have issues displaying it. Specific CSS styling needs to be added if using and external one.

Also you need to make sure you tick or untick the part about showing on MPP's

I looked at the product on acatalog/test/acatalog/3301.php.

You're getting an error when Actinic generates the code that saves the recent product to a cookie. It seems to be coming from layout Save Recent Product Details - Product Image. Particularly the bit of PHP code that extracts and saves the product price.

Have you altered layouts Save Recent Product Details - Product Image, Product Price Including Tax or Product Price Excluding Tax. If so, can you post what you've got in these?

Also, Recently Viewed should work on Preview. Is it working when you Preview?

Right i've managed to find out what the problem is. The css styling for this feature was not added to my own stylesheet and therefor didn't render properly. Something to do with me having an extrenal stylesheet to actinic's own. I simply pulled the css code from the default site when installing v10 and added it to my own snapshot once imported. I'll add the css code just in case someone else has this problem in the future.

Cheers for the replies guys
