1.2.x branch testing: Dynamic follow count

[henrywright]

Regarding https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-followers/issues/14 - if a member follows another member whilst on their profile page, the follow count in the tab updates dynamically (without a page refresh).

But, if tabs aren't used and the follow count is displayed on the page using something like

$counts = bp_follow_total_follow_counts(); 
echo $counts['followers'];

then the count doesn't update dynamically after clicking the follow button.

I'm currently targeting default BP areas where the count is located because I know where they are ;)

It's really impossible to predict how the count is going to be used on everyone's site. I guess I could also target a generic .followers-count class, but you'd need to wrap this around the count in your markup.

I see, there isn't any way for you to guess how and where people will use the count. On second thoughts, perhaps this sort of thing beyond scope!

Going to close this one as this will be a headache ;)
