Question

Magento 2 get recently viewed products collection of Customer (Using customer ID) programmatically

I tried this solution But I want recently viewed products collection.

I tried below solution too but it is not returning anything. [I am logged in]

protected $recentlyViewed;

public function __construct(
...
    \Magento\Reports\Block\Product\Viewed $recentlyViewed
) {
...
    $this->recentlyViewed = $recentlyViewed;
}

/**
 * Get recently viewed products for the customer
 *
 */
public function getMostRecentlyViewed(){
    return $this->recentlyViewed->getItemsCollection();
}

Answer 1

Try to use this code :

Method 1 :

/**
 * Layout
 * @var \Magento\Framework\View\LayoutInterface
 */

 protected $_layout;

 public function __construct(
    .....
    \Magento\Framework\View\LayoutInterface $layout
    .......
 ) {
     $this->_layout = $layout;
 }

public function getMyCollection() {
    $block =  $this->_layout->getBlockSingleton(\Magento\Reports\Block\Product\Viewed::class)->getItemsCollection();
    return $block;
}

UPDATE :

Method 2 :

You need to load ItemCollection() after get collection like below way :

protected $recentlyViewed;

public function __construct(
    \Magento\Reports\Block\Product\Viewed $recentlyViewed
) {
    $this->recentlyViewed = $recentlyViewed;
}

public function execute() {
    $collection = $this->recentlyViewed->getItemsCollection()->load();
    echo "<pre>";
    print_r($collection->getData());
    exit;
}

Please try below code, I tested the same and found it working:

<?php 
namespace YourPackage\YourModule\Block\RecentlyViewed;

class Test extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
    protected $recentlyViewed;

    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template\Context $context,
        \Magento\Reports\Block\Product\Viewed $recentlyViewed,
        array $data = []
    ) {
        $this->recentlyViewed = $recentlyViewed;
        parent::__construct( $context, $data );
    }

    public function getMostRecentlyViewed(){
        return $this->recentlyViewed->getItemsCollection()->getData();
    }
}

and call this block in required file, cms page or static block, for example if you wan to add this block to home page than add below code:

{{block class="YourPackage\YourModule\Block\RecentlyViewed\Test" name="block_recently_viewed" template="YourPackage_YourModule::test.phtml"}}

In test.phtml file you can get the collection and design it in your way, I just tested by printing the collection and it was printing correctly.

test.phtml

<?php echo "<pre>"; print_r($this->getMostRecentlyViewed()); ?>

Note : Please note that the collection will be empty if you don't visits any page as the collection is of recently viewed product by you. Visit some products at your store and you will get the collection being populated.

Answer 3

so In my scenario I need Recently Viewed Products in new custom page... n I also want to show the recently viewed products while the user is not logged In.

Vender/Module/view/frontend/layout/recently_index_index

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <referenceContainer name="content">
        <block class="Vender\Module\Block\Viewedd" name="recently" template="Vender_Module::recently.phtml" cacheable="false" />
    </referenceContainer>
</page>

Ok so this layout is really important in this layout as you can see that cacheable = "false" this is the thing where I was stuck around 3 days. If you want to show Recently Viewed Products If the user is not logged In then you have to false the cacheable. now

Vender\Module\Block\Viewedd.php

<?php
namespace Vender\Module\Block;


use Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template\Context;
use Magento\Reports\Block\Product\Viewed;
use Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductFactory;

class Viewedd extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
    /**
     * Limit of orders
     */
    const ORDER_LIMIT = 4;  //Image Limit this can be changed from here


    /**
     * @param \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template\Context $context
     * @param array $data
     */
    public function __construct(
        Context $context,
        Viewed $recentlyViewed,
        ProductFactory $productFactory,
        array $data = []
    ) {
        $this->_recentlyViewed = $recentlyViewed;
        $this->_productFactory = $productFactory;
        parent::__construct($context, $data);
    }

    /**
     * @return void
     */
    protected function _construct()
    {
        parent::_construct();
        $this->getRecentlyviewed();
    }

    /**
     * Get recently placed orders. By default they will be limited by 5.
     */

    public function getRecentlyviewed()
    {

     $recentViewedCollection =  $this->_recentlyViewed->getItemsCollection()->setPageSize(
            self::ORDER_LIMIT
        )->load();
     ;
        $this->setRecentlyviewedcol($recentViewedCollection);
        return $this->getRecentlyviewedcol();
    }


    /**
     * @return string
     */
    protected function _toHtml()
    {
        if ($this->getRecentlyviewedcol()->getSize() > 0) {
            return parent::_toHtml();
        }
       return parent::_toHtml();
    }

    public function getProductLoader()
    {
        return $this->_productFactory;
    }

}

now in this class as you can see first we get recently viewed Products in getRecentlyviewed() function. now after that we need to create our phtml file

Vender/Module/view/frontend/templates/recently.phtml

<h1>Recently Viewed Products</h1>

<?php
$col = $this->getRecentlyviewedcol();
$count = count($col);
$_productloader = $this->getProductLoader();
?>

<?php if($count): ?>         
    <div class="wishtlist-recently-viewed">
        <div class="d-recently-title">
            <h3>Recently Viewed</h3>
        </div>
        <div class="d-view-blocks">
            <ul>
                <?php foreach ($col as $item) : ?> 
                    <?php        
                        $loadedProduct = $_productloader->create()->load($item->getEntityId());
                        $i = $this->helper('Magento\Catalog\Helper\Image')->init($loadedProduct, 'product_page_image_large'); 
                    ?>
                <li class="col-12 col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-12">
                    <div class="d-slide-box">
                        <div class="d-block-div ">
                            <div class="d-wishlist-img">
                                <a href="<?=$loadedProduct->getProductUrl();?>"><img style="width:300px;height:350px;" class="img-fluid" src="<?=$i->getUrl();?>" alt="First slide"></a>
                            </div>
                            <div class="d-view-title-inner d-view-title-inner-r-v">
                            <div class="d-wishlist-title">
                                <a href="<?=$loadedProduct->getProductUrl();?>"><h3><?=$loadedProduct->getName()?></h3></a>
                            </div>

                            </div>

                        </div>
                    </div>
                </li>
                <?php endforeach; ?>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
<?php endif;?>

In this you'll get all the Recently Viewed Products with images and with Product Name.
Note: firstly I was trying this on the HomePage using the above other solutions but it was not working you need to create new layout or maybe put the xml block in your Layout hope it will work for you.

Answer 4

\Magento\Reports\Model\ResourceModel\Product\CollectionFactory $_reportCollectionFactory
$this->_reportCollectionFactory = $_reportCollectionFactory;

$collection = $this->_reportCollectionFactory->create()
        ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
        ->addViewsCount()
        ->setStoreId($storeId)
        ->addStoreFilter($storeId)
        ->setPageSize(10); 

Answer 5

I have use this same solution and first time I am not getting any items in recently viewed products collection.

After that I have checked and enable reports events from backend.

Stores=>congratulations=>general=>reports=>set yes in drop-down and also make sure that product view event is enable.

This solution working for me and my project on magento 2.3.4 version. And if still you don't get items then you can try by adding cacheable= "false" in your layout block.

Thank you.
