Redmine

Hey, have you found a way to do this ? thanks.

This is not covered yet. I know there is an issue about this. Just can find it at the moment Some more diggin' resulted in #11724.

Thanks for the reply. I've removed that by adding:

 $('.search_for_watchers').remove();

in the application.js in hideOnLoad() function...

This will remove the element. The functionality is there and can be triggered with javascript, but I think if the users don't know about this and don't see this option in they won't access it. For me it is better to remove than to show other customers watchers.

Cheers.

We can set privilege for viewing watcher list, adding and removing watchers.

But it would be really nice to make the projects separate. I think this should be property of the project:
allow watchers from:
- only this project
- subprojects
- project tree
- all projects

The same way as versions are shared:

Thanks!

I removed the "User Search" only for adding watchers.(Redmine 2.3.1)

I changed the following file:
redmine-2.3.1\app\views\watchers\_new.html.erb

The following line from

  <p><%= label_tag 'user_search', l(:label_user_search) %><%= text_field_tag 'user_search', nil %></p>

  <p><!--%= label_tag 'user_search', l(:label_user_search) %><%= text_field_tag 'user_search', nil %></p-->

I don't know if it is the right way,
but it works for me.

To remove the "User Search" form the "New Ticket Page"
you have to edit the application.css by adding the following line:

span.search_for_watchers {display:none}
