Magento – How to Get Recently Viewed Products in Magento 2 Using Customer Entity Id

catalogmagento2PHPproducts

I want to display the recently viewed products name and products id of a particular customer using customer entity id.

How can I do that in Magento 2 programmatically?

Best Answer

You can use default table report_event to get information about visited pages.

All product IDs saved at the column object_id, customer id saved at subject_id.

You need to get all records with event_type_id == 1(catalog_product_view)

Override: class Mage_Reports_Block_Product_Viewed

Add this function:

   protected function _toHtml() {

/*   if ($this->_hasViewedProductsBefore() === false) {
    return '';
} */

$this->setDisplayMinimalPrice('1');
$collection = $this->_getRecentProductsCollection();

$hasProducts = (bool)count($collection);
//        if (is_null($this->_hasViewedProductsBefore())) {
//           Mage::getSingleton('reports/session')->setData('viewed_products', $hasProducts);
//        }
if ($hasProducts) {
    $this->setRecentlyViewedProducts($collection);
}

return parent::_toHtml();
}
