The license fee is $14 plus $5 per subsequent year for updates (optional). Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0 or later. For Craft 3 use version ^1.0.0 For Craft 4 use version ^2.0.0 Usage ----- [](#usage) Install the plugin from the Craft Plugin Store in your site's control panel or manually using composer: ``` composer require mattgrayisok/craft-recently-viewed ``` Filtering --------- [](#filtering) Once the plugin is installed you'll have access to two additional functions on all of your fluent element queries: - `recentlyViewed()` - Filter by recently viewed elements only - `orderByDateViewed()` - Order recently viewed elements by view date/time, most recent first E.G. ``` {% set recentBlogPosts = craft.entries.section('blogPosts').recentlyViewed().orderByDateViewed().all() %} ``` ``` {% set recentProducts = craft.products.recentlyViewed().orderByDateViewed().all() %} ``` Tracking -------- [](#tracking) By default any element which is linked to a specific URL will be auto tracked. I.E. if you visit `/blog/article-slug` and Craft has been configured to automatically inject the `entry` variable into the corresponding template the entry will be auto-tracked. You can disable this auto tracking behaviour in the plugin settings. You can also manually track views in your twig templates using: `{% do craft.recentlyViewed.track(element) %}` OR `{% do craft.recentlyViewed.trackId(elementId) %}` You can pass *any* element type into the former function as long as it implements `craft\base\ElementInterface`. Clearing -------- [](#clearing) If you would like to clear the recently viewed history for any reason you can call: `{% do craft.recentlyViewed.clear() %}` Support ------- [](#support) If you encounter any issues during the use of this plugin please let me know by: - Creating an issue on GitHub - Dropping me an email: matt at mattgrayisok dot com - Finding me in the Craft Slack: @mattgrayisok - DMing me on Twitter: @mattgrayisok I'll respond to critical issues as quickly as I can.
