Who is in? Plugin

Schamper

@arasbm Never really thought about it as Wordpress shortcode style, but I suppose it does look like that. I just tried to think of something that kind of looked like markdown, but I also looked at what syntax other forum software that use markdown are using for some features.

This is awesome,

2 bugs for me,
-cant click on anyone that "is in" ... redirects me to 404 error.
-if i reply inside the same thread to create another "who is in" it works

@chas thanks for the report!

cant click on anyone that "is in" ... redirects me to 404 error.

Good find, I will fix it this weekend

if i reply inside the same thread to create another "who is in" it works

I am not sure what the right behaviour would be here. Should I limit the whoisin plugin to only the OP? My thinking was that it would be nice if anyone could start one in a discussion, and if someone else attempts to add another one, it will be just a copy of the first one.

I have already upvoted the first post, if that is what you mean

@meetdilip No, I meant in the polls for the October plugin contest. Here are the links to the polls:

You can vote in both Thanks!

I'd say first post only, but you could preserve the option through a configuration setting and let each forum admin decide for themselves.

+1 for first post only

specifying a limit per event could be nice

Still love the simplicity!

I made some changes and bug fixes to this plugin. The latest version (0.0.6) works with nodebb 0.6.0 or higher only. Here are the notable changes:

Usage Examples

To use this plugin in a post just insert [whoisin] anywhere in a post. Here are some other examples of using the shortcode:

    [whoisin title=(Will you attend this event?) iamin=(Yes I will!)]
    [whoisin iamin=(I'm down!)]

Current Features

One whoisin widget per post
Ability to add and remove yourself
Allows custom title and button name in shortcode
Automatically subscribe user to the current topic

I hope you will find it useful.

this plugin is awesome but i had some thoughts and maybe a bug

first off, there should be an option to make it first post only
second, say i have 100 users "in" does it show them all or stop at a certain number or once it meets the width of its container? maybe make it only list 5 people then plus some more, like this
[avatar] [avatar] [avatar] [ + 10 more people ] [ X ]
and clicking the more brings up a popover with all "in people"

there also seems to be a bug on the user profile page where if this was used in a recent post, its displayed to both logged in and non logged in users but cant be interacted with. it doesnt display avatars, just [ + I am in! ] [X]

arasbm

@zero thanks for the feedback! I'll try to add the features you requested and also will see what that bug is all about.

If we add a feature like limiting the number of avatars that are displayed by default, I would rather it be customizable with a default parameter.

I likely wont have time to work on this until next weekend. If you want anything changed quickly feel free to send a PR

Cheers!
