Just a general question about the new features added to an already feature packed shopping cart, is there some general documentation on how to impliment the "recently viewed products" and "better page navigation" features? If I have totally overlooked it in the download, I appologize.

Thanks in advance.

I guess what I was looking for was what code to enter to envoke the recently viewed items list. And correct me if I'm wrong, but the "view all" page feature only applies to search results and not to general product listings; such as having a navigation link point to a category which is set to display "N" number of items. In this case there is still no "view all" page feature.

You just do an include like this:

in the relevant file you want to show it in.

You can see it in action here:

where I place it in the footer.

You'll notice I've created a bookmark for this section and put a link in the header to the bookmark. So you can then call the recently viewed list from the header.

You can configure how many records are shown from within the asp file.

cheers
Mark

Has anyone figured out how to check to see if there are any products to view? I'd like to change up the layout on my navigation bar based on if there are any recently viewed products or not. Trying to figure something out like the If user not logged in, do this else do that (in terms of how it would work).

Any suggestions?
