Magento 1.9- Display Most Viewed Products

Create a file app/code/local/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/Mostviewed.php and add the following lines of code in it.

 
class Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_Mostviewed extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_Abstract{
    public function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();
        $storeId    = Mage::app()->getStore()->getId();
        $products = Mage::getResourceModel('reports/product_collection')
            ->addOrderedQty()
            ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
            ->addAttributeToSelect(array('name', 'price', 'small_image'))
            ->setStoreId($storeId)
            ->addStoreFilter($storeId)
            ->addViewsCount();
        Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->addVisibleFilterToCollection($products);
        Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->addVisibleInCatalogFilterToCollection($products);

        $products->setPageSize(5)->setCurPage(1);
        $this->setProductCollection($products);
    }
}

Step 2:

Create a file app/design/frontend/default/YourTheme/template/catalog/product/mostviewed.phtml and add the following lines of code in it.

 
<?php if (($_products = $this->getProductCollection()) && $_products->getSize()): ?>

<?php echo $this->__('These Products Are Popular Right Now!') ?>
<?php $_collectionSize = 5;//count($_products->getItems()); echo $_collectionSize; ?>

<?php $i=1; foreach ($_products->getItems() as $_product): ?>
    

        
       
            
                
            
            
<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>
            
                       
                <?php if($_product->getRatingSummary()): ?>
                    <?php echo $this->getReviewsSummaryHtml($_product, 'short') ?>
                <?php endif; ?>
                <?php echo $this->getPriceHtml($_product, true) ?>
                <?php if($_product->isSaleable()): ?>
                    
                    

                <?php else: ?>
                    
<?php echo $this->__('Out of stock') ?>
                    

                <?php endif; ?>
                

                    <?php if ($this->helper('wishlist')->isAllow()) : ?>
                    
<?php echo $this->__('Add to Wishlist') ?>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                    <?php if($_compareUrl=$this->getAddToCompareUrl($_product)): ?>
                    
| <?php echo $this->__('Add to Compare') ?>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                
            
        
    
<?php $i++; endforeach; $kol = $_collectionSize; ?>


<?php endif; ?>

Step 3:

Now, we have the code in place which will fetch the most viewed products on call. Still, we need to add a block to show most viewed products in a desired location.

 
{{block type="catalog/product_mostviewed" template="catalog/product/mostviewed.phtml"}}
