License

This plugin requires a commercial license which can be purchased through the Craft Plugin Store.
The license fee is $14 plus $5 per subsequent year for updates (optional).

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

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

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

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) %}

{% do craft.recentlyViewed.trackId(elementId) %}

You can pass any element type into the former function as long as it implements craft\base\ElementInterface.

Clearing

If you would like to clear the recently viewed history for any reason you can call:

{% do craft.recentlyViewed.clear() %}
