Maybe this is a feature request - I'd like to be able to follow or subscribe to specific users. I.e. be kept abreast of questions and answers that certain users make. Seems like this could be a good "social" feature for the platform. Also it would be another interesting metric in one's user profile - how many followers someone has, etc.
Done a while ago.
We've also created a django app django-followit, which is available for reuse on pypi and
github.
To use it, just add to your models
import followit
follow.register(MyModel)
and add to the urls.py
(r'^followit/', include('followit.urls')),
Then run
python manage.py syncdb
More models to follow can be added later and the follow function activated by re-running syncdb.
To follow or unfollow, post to the urls described here.
Can this be used to follow tags also? or just users?
Yes - but wording is different. Tags can be marked as interesting, ignored and subscribed (the latter needs to be enabled in the admin settings).
I can't seem to find this setting in my admin settings. is there somewhere in the docs that covers this? thanks for the help :)
you just need to go to the user profile and click button "follow".
