Known issue: There's a problem with matching usernames if @ is present in the post.

Will post back when issue is resolved.

it sounds great but i have a problem... when installing de xml...

Either /var/www/vhosts/charlamania.com/httpdocs/dbtech/usertag/install/core.php or /var/www/vhosts/charlamania.com/httpdocs/dbtech/usertag/install/finalise.php is missing!

[DragonByte Tech]

That's been fixed, sorry about that

Difference between Lite and Pro version?

I've installed this, the settings are all good in the admin and the tag extra users box thing appears but actually @USERNAME doesn't tag them, link them, notify them etc...
Any ideas.

Aforementioned problem has been fixed, all downloads from this post should be good to go


@dave: The Tag Users box in the showthread, you're not supposed to use @ there. It's just usernames as you'd type them normally
The only time @username; is needed is when you're Mentioning people in posts.

Hope that resolves your problem

[davepurcell]

I know that. I was saying that is there to say it'd most likely installed properly.

I'm using @username in posts and it doesn't tag them, link them or notify them that they've been tagged.
Maybe I wasn't clear?

[DragonByte Tech]

Did you use a semicolon to terminate the tag?
So it'd be like @davepurcell; or @dragonbyte tech; or @belazor; etc.

We had to add the semicolon because that's the only illegal character in usernames

This is really something I can use. Thank you. I am looking into also buying the pro version. Although I get this error after installation when I go into a thread:

Fatal error: Class 'vB_Template' not found in /home/thebull/public_html/forums/dbtech/usertag/hooks/postbit_display_complete.php on line 9

I hope you can help. Thanks!

I am quite interested in this... but...

a) I don't think I want the Thread tagging (separate tagging, not @). Can it easily be disabled?

b) I think using the semicolon is going to be too much for dumb users What about the option of making it something more like BBcode, like [@username] and that way there is also a toolbar icon (like a megaphone -> shout icon), and the dialog input box can just ask "username to shout at" or whatever. Just an idea.

c) I see on your forum you're already considering group/category shouts, that sounds like a very good idea.

d) Kind of a follow-up to (b) now that I think about it My forum usernames have this regex "^[A-Z0-9 ]+$", with that in mind I am wondering if there is a simpler way as to not require the semicolon to activate the tagging...

I believe that has been fixed now, re-download the zip and re-upload all the files

You'd have to remove the contents of the taglist template. That should kill it, and you didn't even have to use fire!

A toolbar icon is a good idea, thanks! I'll write that down for future versions.

You still have a space in your username, which means matching on space won't work.
Also, not every forum has that regexp To get it working properly, we had to step away from a simple regexp and onto more advanced parsing, so I think our best bet is to go with that BBCode toolbar icon


In other news, a small fix for HTML characters not appearing properly in thread tags (& being shown as & etc) has been released

Awesome!! All good now! Thanks for the fast update. I am tagging....

EDIT: I tried to tag all my staff in my Admin forum informing them of this new mod. So I added all their usernames in the editor like this: @username; @username; etc. After posting, I see the their names are now linked to their userprofiles. But there is no mention of the post under the "Mention" tab on their profiles though. The profile page also don't finish loading. Can you please advise.

Thank you.

Does the postbit still update with incremented "mentions" count?

Additionally, can you open the dbtech_usertag_mention table and see if the mentions inserted properly there?
