Announcer should have a page listing all Watched items

It would be nice put an entry in the metanav ('Watchlist') that links to the page with the table of all watched pages for a particular user.

I second this

This is exactly what the WatchlistPlugin does.

The WatchlistPlugin rev.[6834] now actively supports the AnnouncerPlugin (see #4744) and allows to switch notification of wikis and tickets watched by the WatchlistPlugin on or off. This is not exactly the same as requested by this ticket but it comes close. Please note that wikis/tickets can be independently watched by both plugins.

I agree with the ticket creator that the navbar entries "Watch This"/"Unwatch This" would be changed to someting else not including 'watch', because this is to close to the WatchlistPlugin (uses "Watch"/"Unwatch"). Maybe having it configurable by the trac.ini config, so it can be changed by people which want to use both plugins?

I would accept that patch

Patch to make context navigation entries ('Watch this','Unwatch this') configurable

The attached patch allows the user (Trac admin) to rename or disable the context navigation entries.

Examples

Rename the cxtnav entries:

[announcer]
ctxtnav_names = Notify me, Do not notify me 

Disable the entries:

[announcer]
ctxtnav_names =

If these are two plugin are working nicely together now, that will be great! I will try installing the WatchListPlugin? shortly. I have been using the AnnouncerPlugin for 6 months.

See also the related #6052.

(In [6916]) Allow the ctxnav names for "watch/unwatch this" to be relabeled or shut off (by setting to blank). This patch was contributed by martin_s closes #5682

Thanks for the patch, I really appreciate it.

I'm working on upgrading to install this patch and I added this change to the wiki page to document the configuration parameter. Please correct if this could be documented better.

Thanks!

Thanks, I now added some more information and crosslinks in this change.

Sorry, I got the indexes wrong therefore the ctxtnav item names are swapped at the moment.

Either change the order of the names in the documentation or fix the indexes in the source code. I would prefer the latter because it is more natural to specify the 'Watch' action name before the 'Unwatch' one.

Simply replaces index [0] with [1] and vice versa:

Patch to fix wrong index order and rename notifications.

In my opinion the messages "You are now watching this resource for changes." and "You are no longer watching this resource for changes." should also be changed, so that the user is not confusing this with the addition and removal from the watchlist.

I made this changes in the attachment:announcer_ctxtnav_config2.patch .
