Vitaly, just another thought. Have you considered adding a new column on the main forum page for total number of "views"? Similar to PHPBB, where you can see popularity of any topic by totaling the number of readers. Don't know if it's possible with anonymous readers, but you get the picture, right? Sure would be a nice addition. Thanks!

Yes please, there is no acceptance for this gui change in our company.

Well, i myself have like 70 users on particular boards and found it is easier to use checkboxes for selection of 40+ people than dropdown, because dropdown is much slower.

Also it works without Issues module enabled.

Anyway, i will try to make it an option in the next release.

Has anyone tried it on the the 1.3-stable branch? Is it supposed to work?

Ahhh!! noo! What did you do :(
We was so glad there was a drop-down liost control for watchers selction so far and now its the same ugly huge check box block as in issues watchers when creating a new ticket. We wanted to change that accoding to issue watcher list for exitsing issues and as baord wacthers 0.0.5
We have a lot members (100+) in our projects ad this view is unusable.

Please check new version - it has redesigned watcher selection screen where you can select/deselect members by typing part of their name.

This plugin looks great, however I get a 500 error when opening the forums or setting tab.

Try to edit config/enviroment.rb file to add

config.plugins = [ :all, :redmine_boards_watchers ]

Doesn't help! Still have the error

Just fore record, dound outdated github clone https://github.com/previousnext/redmine_boards_watchers

Would be perferable indeed to have that coded hosted on github, then updates and fixed can me pushed more easy.

To make it work, had to remove the line:

 <%= breadcrumb link_to(l(:label_board_plural), project_boards_path(@project)) %>

from:

vendor/plugins/redmine_boards_watchers/app/views/boards/show.html.er

Also in:

vendor/plugins/redmine_boards_watchers/app/views

I removed the projects folder with a file that was overriding the Forum settings tab (and breaking it).

Restart redmine and should be OK although you loose some of the functionality until the author debugs it.

Forked patch here https://github.com/cforce/redmine_boards_watchers

Now i ihave another error. There is no method "edit_project_board_path" in whole plugi nor redmine/app folder.

Unfortunately, thi is the common problem when replacing views files in the plugin - you have to come up with the version for every view that is changed in Redmine itself. For those of you who can do file editing i would recommend to open view files from latest plugin and look for #VVK lines. Then copy file from Redmine view folder to plugin view folder and add lines between # VVK comments. This way you will get error free version. For all the others i believe soon i will be able to come up with decision that will allow to have several versions of the views for the single plugin. Please stay tuned.

Plugin updated. Now it supports Redmine versions from 1.3.0 and up. Also latest version includes ability to manage wiki pages watchers and watchers management context menu for issues.

Please do not forget to install Plugin views revisions plugin and run rake task (see installation notes)

Download it from the plugin page: http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_boards_watchers

Sadly enough I am not able to get this to work.
I installed the Plugin views revisions plugin by just copying to the vendors/plugins directory
Then copied the board watchers plugin to the vendors/plugins directory and did a "rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production".
I then get the error:

rake aborted!
no such file to load -- context_menus_helper

How to fix this?

New version available. Now it is compatible with both Redmine 1.x and 2.x versions.

Ah, this new version seems to install fine on 1.3.3.
However when I try to make a new forum post and choose create I get another error 500 thrown at me...
