Reverse last viewed products

Hi guys,

In the DW templates we have the option to iterate through the last viewed products using the tagname "eCom:Related.YouHaveSeenTheseProducts". We're looking for a way to reverse the output of this loop and then take 12 from those products to a different list, as shown below:

const int rpvShowMax = 12;
var recentlyViewedProducts = GetLoop("eCom:Related.YouHaveSeenTheseProducts");
recentlyViewedProducts.Reverse();
recentlyViewedProducts = recentlyViewedProducts.Take(rpvShowMax).ToList();

Is there any way to not do this in Razor? Like building the logic in a ProductListExtender or a Provider? And are there any coding examples?

Cheers!
Tom

Hi Tom,

You can find the source code for the provders here: http://developer.dynamicweb.com/downloads/source-code.aspx (in Dynamicweb.eCommerce.Specialized.zip). They are fairly simple to implement, and I think all you need to do is change the SQL statement.

Hope this helps,

Imar

Hi Imar,

It sure helps! What I actually did is inherit the provider I needed the data from. This way I can use everything DW created and top it off with a little custom logic, as in the example shown below.

[RelatedProductList("eCom:Related.ReverseYouHaveSeenTheseProducts")]
    public class ReversedSeenProductListProvider : YouHaveSeenTheseProductsList
    {
        private const int MaxProductListSize = 12;
 
        public override ProductCollection GetCollection(RelatedProductListProviderEventArgs eventArgs)
        {
            var collection = base.GetCollection(eventArgs).ToList();
 
            collection.Reverse();
            collection = collection.Take(MaxProductListSize).ToList();
 
            var returnCollection = new ProductCollection();
            returnCollection.AddRange(collection, false);
 
            return returnCollection;
        }
    }

Cheers,
Tom
