Current visitors is something that vbulletin 3 had. It was quite useful to monitor what members, bots, attackers were doing. It would be nice to have that feature back.

Yeah I'm losing hope for this one.

Xon is still working his ass off to port all his addons to XF2. You can track progress here:

Add-ons converted to XenForo 2

Its amazing that he found time to create the current addon. I'm sure he will look at possible features when he finds some time to breath.

I don't doubt that for a moment.

Good list. Just those top two would be a game changer.

@Xon is one of the most active developers on here, and his addons are always rock solid. I'm sure he's working as hard as he can, we just have to be patient

Possible to add live content on a thread basis based on the thread prefix?

 

[Kintaro]

Is someone is typing a new message it show a notification about that in the thread view?

That isn't an implemented function, I've been considering adding it but I've been focusing on porting work first.

 

[Joe Link]

@Xon one of our biggest complaints is the missing AJAX alerts in the lower left for alerts and conversations. What do you recommend for polling times to replicate this XF 1.5 feature?

 

[Xon]

This add-on doesn't add that functionality, so changing polling time would help

 

[Indrek Simmer]

Is it possible to add something like this?

@Xon

As a feature suggestion, currently looking at the demo it's sometimes fairly easy to miss a new post if you blink. Would be great to see a bit of animation and/or perhaps a little bit of temporary background highlighting of the new post/conversation/thread (in future) as they are polled and displayed.

And it would be also great addon

Is someone is typing a new message it show a notification about that in the thread view?

 

[Indrek Simmer]

And is it possible to integrate this addon also https://xenforo.com/community/resources/addonslab-unread-post-count.5840/, like notification counter write now?

Even though this has been out nearly a year it's still alpha. Are admins using this with confidence?

 

[Xon]

My XF2 porting work has consumed a lot more time than I expected. There are a couple busy sites using it without an issue.

It is in alpha purely because the feature set isn't finished.

 

[Alpha1]

There are a couple busy sites using it without an issue.

What is the extra overhead on those sites?

 

[dethfire]

What is the extra overhead on those sites?

It's important to know the poll time too. It defaults at 30sec. I wonder if any busy sites are running a lower poll time.

 

[ichpen]

Curious if there are planned feature updates for this in the short term.

 

[Xon]

Not in the short term, as I'm getting close to finishing Content Rating for XF2.1, plus other things in the pipeline. I do want to revisit this add-on to make it scale better and other features, but I have time constraints

Does this add on allow me to select a single thread and make the new posts appear automatically?

Possible to add live content on a thread basis based on the thread prefix?

This comment is my exact end goal. Be able to note the thread as a defined entity that is live refreshing for my users and only that thread is live refreshing. I have no need to use server resources to auto update an entire forum. Just event threads.

 

[Xon]

Not currently, that sort of thing is a feature I want to add once I have time.
