Previously Ordered Items

Allows website customers to view items purchased from previous orders. This plug-in can be used anywhere on the website, within the My Account pages. The plug-in provides the following functions:

· Product display allows for full configuration of product data available within the Back Office.

· The base design displays a thumbnail image, product name and pricing (base/sale).

· When product is selected, the user is re-directed to the related product page for possible future purchase.

· Customers can remove items from the list via a remove link.

Implementation Steps

The plug-in is of the type "My Account." Follow the steps below to add the plug-in to a website.

Step	Action
1	Click the plug-in tab.
2	Click the New button next to My Account.
3	The plug-in has 2 configurations and 3 HTML capable templates. To control the overall layout of the plug-in, add HTML to the template you wish to have the plug-in display. i.e. customer_account_page.
4	Configurations: Remove Button uri - Create an image for removing an item from previously ordered items plug-in. Upload the image to a directory on your FTP and reference the relative path of the image. i.e. static/images/removebutton.jpg. Product Limit - Specify the number of products that you want to display. Note, the most recently purchased items will display first. Filtering: Allows the previously ordered items module to support filtering products by name, price, order date, and frequently ordered products. NOTES: To support filtering, javascript must be configured correctly for the plug-in. The select drop-down must have the field name = "filter_by" The option values of the select drop-down must be one of: "price_descending", "name_ascending", "name_descending", "frequency", "recently_descending", or "recently_ascending" To access the configuration for a product, the variable $product_configurations in Smarty has been assigned and must be accessed using a for each loop, e.g. {foreach from=$product_configurations item=option } {$option->get_label()}: {$option->description} {/foreach} In order to make sure a user isn't being presented with links to product pages that no longer exist, the search should be set to eliminate inactive products.
5	Templates: Header Template (optional) - add HTML to display above the product listing. i.e. <h3>Previously Ordered Items</h3> Product Template - add HTML for the individual product layout i.e. <a href="{product_url}"> <img src="{product_thumb}" width="101" alt="{product_name}" /></a> <br /><a href="{product_url}">{product_name}</a> Footer Template (optional) - add HTML to display below the product listing
