    Great Plugin.

    To get it running with mySQL and Rails 2.0 you have to change the follwoing lines.

    Remove: return viewings.count(["viewer_id = '#{viewer.id}' or ip = '#{ip}'"]) > 0

    Insert: return viewings.count(:conditions=>"viewer_id = '#{viewer.id}' or ip = '#{ip}'") > 0

    Remove: return viewings.count(["ip = '#{ip}'"]) > 0

    Insert: return viewings.count(:conditions=>"ip = '#{ip}'") > 0

    Is it possible to use this plugin without a Users model, for instance, just to monitor views?

    I have used it many times, only with a users model, and can't seem to make it work now without one :)
