Thread Watchers 1.2

[Jon W]

Icon attached in the attachment area.

Shelley, I'm just about to release an extension to the [bd] Forum Watch add-on and was going to use a different watch icon, but then spotted the one you created for Chris here:
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/thread-watchers.40575/#post-441234

For consistency, it would be really nice to use the same icon. Also it is a really cool icon. Would it be ok to do this?

Let me know if there is something I can do for you in return.

Sorry for hijacking your thread Chris!

Yes please Shelley I have both add-ons and it would be terrific to have visual consistency.

Working fine in 1.2

@Chris Deeming,

An update for this resource would be amazing for 1.2 !

 

[Chris D]

To my knowledge it works in 1.2.

Yep, works fine on my 1.2 site

Is there a possibility to tweak this a little bit?
Can't it just show how many people watch a thread without showing who watches?

 

[daviden]

Having a problem... Got a thread that always says that 133 people are watching.
Is it some kind of hangup?

 

[Chris D]

How many people are watching it?

 

[daviden]

How many people are watching it?

It says 133. But it's been 133 for 2 days now.

 

[Chris D]

Maybe there's only 133 people who are watching the thread.

If you perform this query on your database, that will tell you the number of people watching the thread:

SELECT COUNT(*)
  FROM xf_thread_watch
  WHERE thread_id = 12345

Replace 12345 with the correct thread ID.

But if I go in and click on some people watching the thread, they're doing something else. E g one of the people haven't been logged in since thursday.

The SQL query gave me 133 too.

That isn't how the add-on works.

It's not "Currently at this exact moment Watching Threads".

 

[Chris D]

I think you're missing the purpose of what the add-on does.

The number of people watching the thread is the number of people who have subscribed to the thread using the "Watch Thread" feature.

This explains a lot...
My bad!

@Chris D,

Would it be possible to get something for forum watchers? I'd gladly help fund something like that.

It would be awesome if you could add an usergroup permission to define who can view the list of people watching a thread. For example I only want to allow my staff to view the list, regular members and guests will still be able to see the number of people watching but not who they are.

I really hope you can update this add-on soon.

It's a core feature of IPB 4 (check top right corner): http://zend.ipsdevserver.com/ips4/topic/171-feedback-and-bug-reports/
