Recently viewed products

[Mark Evenden]

V8 upgraded to V10 - I have a site that is "external design" and I am unable to get this feature to work properly.

The products do list, but I also get a little box with this text in it

**sRecentPrefix**

I have feeling I read something about this on here, but can't find it

Hi

Two thing to check is that you have the CSS for recently view products in your CSS file and you have the layout "JavaScriptFunctions" in your Head.

Marlbro - yes thanks that was it.

I feel resolving this is probably over my head. The list displays OK, but as mentioned there is an uninvited intruder also on the page, I just noticed as well that the "delete" option available to the customer works but has no image.

I have left it published, warts and all, www.devotedly-discus.co.uk

There's big lump of CSS that styles the recently viewed stuff missing from your actinic.css. Go to Design / Library / Layouts / Web Page Outer Layout / Actinic Stylesheet. Try pasting the following in at the bottom.

/* Recently Viewed Products List Style ------------------------------------ */

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22RecentlyViewedListIsEnabled%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20True">

#rphtml {
	display: none; 
	visibility:hidden;
} /* Used internally - do not delete */

#recenthtlist {
	width: 500px;
	text-align:left;
}

#recenthtitem {
	border-spacing: 0px;
}

#recenthtitem td {
	width: 110px;
	padding: 4px;
	text-align: center;
	border-left: 1px solid <actinic:variable name="Palette3" />;
	border-right:1px solid <actinic:variable name="Palette3" />;
}

.recenthtitemimage {
	border-top: 1px solid <actinic:variable name="Palette3" />;
}

.recenthtitemdesc	{}

.recenthtitemprice	{}

.recenthtitemdelete {
	border-bottom: 1px solid <actinic:variable name="Palette3" />;
}

.recenthtitemspacer {
	width:2px !important; 
	border:0 !important;
	padding: 0px !important;
}

.recenththeader {
	padding: 3px; font-size: <actinic:variable name="LargeFontSize" />;
	font-weight: 900; margin: 0px; color: <actinic:variable name="Palette2" />;
	width: 496px; border-top: 1px solid <actinic:variable name="Palette3" />;
	border-bottom: 1px solid <actinic:variable name="Palette3" />;
}

.recenthtbuttonleft {
	float: left;
	cursor: pointer;
	width: 100px;
	border: 0;
	background-color: <actinic:variable name="BGColor"/>;
}

.recenthtbuttonright {
	float: right;
	cursor: pointer;
	width: 100px;
	border: 0;
	background-color: <actinic:variable name="BGColor"/>;
	}
	
</actinic:block>

Hi Mark

It appears that not all of the update has been applied to your upgraded snapshot, if you need more detailed assistance you can contact me via my signature.

[Mark Evenden]

Thanks to one and all, especially Malcolm for talking me through the steps to sort this out this evening.

I don't know why, but I just thought it would work as designed "out of the box"

[MBS Wholesale]

I had the same error and I also thought it was designed to be "straight out of the box" too. I've tried pasting the actinic stylesheet as Norman suggested, but now the box with "**sRecentPrefix" has completely disappeared altogether. The "Recently Viewed" option in marketting has been enabled.

[JGLIGHTING]

Hi

As far I know if you have custom layout or you have played around with the layout. The new layouts IE. Recently Viewed Products are not alway added to your layout. But i maybe wrong saying that


You need to make sure that you have the "JavaScriptFunctions" in you head of the page and you have "SaveRecentProducts" in your product layout and "RecentProduct" where you want to see the list.


Hope that help.

That's how it should be. That bit is meant to be hidden.

Javascript Errors

Hi Norman,

I had the same problem the "**sRecentPrefix**" box was present!

So I did as you suggested and added the missing info, the box has now gone but I have three Javascript Errors, the site has uploaded fine and everything is working ok including the "Recently view products"

However if I untick the "Enable" in Recently view products menu the errors are no longer present.

What have I not done?

Would appreciate your help with this one.

Regards Repy.

It's difficult to help without actually seeing it, how's about a URL?

[Reptile1]

Its one of yours Lee,

No commitment though

[leehack]

Do you have:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22RecentlyViewedListIsEnabled%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20True" >
              <actinic:variable name="RecentProducts" />
</actinic:block>

added to the overall design?

If you have that, have added the css that actinic misses off and have activated the list, there's no reason for it not to work, has done on every one i have done like that so far.

[leehack]

Looks like either you or the v10 upgrader has borked your <head> area, i'm seeing lots of duplicate entries, calling the same files twice and duplicate meta tags. Looks like that needs an overhaul and is the problem.

If actinic is adding a layout called 'Javascript Functions' (or something like that), then you will need to remove the manual references to the actinic JS files. If you open up the actinic layout it will show you what is included. As that layout is introducing all of the required actinic JS, then you can safely remove those that are effectively just duplicating things and most likely breaking it.
