When someone first comes to a site and the Recently Viewed module is used, all that they see is the <h4> tag because no products have been viewed yet. Is there a way to "hide" that <h4> tag until products are viewed? Or maybe include that with the code that produces the product list...

I don't want to use the Recently Viewed list on the home page but on the category page would be useful. Also, if someone enters the site on the product page itself they too would get that header with no content.

I can't locate that specific code



when I went with what I thought it was an added your code, it didn't work. What am I missing?

Here's where I attempted to put it.

To get this to work properly I would recommend adding a <div> outside of the literal like this: *See top line (<div id="RecentlyViewedTest" runat="server">)

<div id="RecentlyViewedTest" runat="server">
<asp:Literal ID="PreHtml" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
<div class="productgrid">
<div class="decoratedblock">
<div class="blockcontent">
<h4><asp:Label ID="LPVTitle" runat="server"></asp:Label></h4>
<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" DataKeyField="bvin" RepeatLayout="Table">
<ItemTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="<%#Eval("ProductURL") %>"><img id="imagesmall" runat="server" class="lastproductsviewed"/></a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="<%#Eval("ProductURL") %>"><%#Eval("ProductName")%></a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<asp:Literal ID="PostHtml" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
</div>

==============================================================
Then alter code to reference the div ID like this: * see below (Me.FindControl("RecentlyViewedTest").Visible = False)
==============================================================

If myProducts IsNot Nothing And myProducts.Count > 0 Then
Me.DataList1.DataSource = n
Me.DataList1.DataBind()

Dim display As Integer = SettingsManager.GetIntegerSetting("LPVDisplayTypeRad").ToString

If display = 0 Then
Me.DataList1.RepeatDirection = RepeatDirection.Horizontal
Me.DataList1.RepeatColumns = SettingsManager.GetIntegerSetting("LPVGridColumnsField")
ElseIf display = 1 Then
Me.DataList1.RepeatDirection = RepeatDirection.Vertical
Me.DataList1.RepeatColumns = SettingsManager.GetIntegerSetting("LPVDisplayTypeRad")
Else
Me.DataList1.RepeatDirection = RepeatDirection.Horizontal
Me.DataList1.RepeatColumns = 3
End If

Else
Me.FindControl("RecentlyViewedTest").Visible = False

End If

========================

Then everything should work fine. Obviously you can name the id anything you want. Nice catch!

I will add it to the SP3 suggestion list.
