As per title, I've implemented a new feature that displays a "Who viewed this item" block on the Item Overview page.
This is a permissions based feature as well as a per category feature.
There are 2 new permissions for flexibility:
There is a new Category Option "Display who viewed this item.
Note: The upgrade sets this to ENABLED.
There are 2 new Showcase Options
There is a new SC Item Page Option >> Users who viewed item count
This option is for admins to control the amount of username displayed in the "Who viewed this item" block.
There is a new Showcase Misc Option >> View/Read logs data lifetime
This option allows admins to control how long the view/read logs data is stored. For this feature to work properly, it should be set to 0 (ZERO) to disable view/read log purging.
And this is what the block looks like. As you can see, based on the option above of displaying 10 users, the most recent 10 users that viewed the item are displayed and then there is a link ... and 2 others, which when clicked on, launches an overlay with all of the users that viewed the item (in order of last read).
Note: The block title "Who viewed this item" is also a link and will launch the overlay which includes displaying date/time information on when the user viewed the item).
That's it in a nutshell. Its a KISS feature based on the old vB Who read this thread feature.
