[DBTech] Advanced User Tagging v3 (vB4)

[DragonByte Tech]

Please have more patience when waiting for a response.

The vBShout integration mentioned is the User Tags tab, and the notifications when someone mentions you.

Fillip

I'm patient...It's just that here is so big that often responses are unnoticed..

So if a user does @username IN the chat...it will show under the user tab notification?

[DragonByte Tech]

No, the tab only shows the notifications mentioned above. Typing @username in chat does nothing special :)


Fillip

[MissKalunji]

ah! I see :) Thank you... any plans on adding this ?

*side-note* I love your mod!

[DragonByte Tech]

None currently, because - unlike posts - shouts can very quickly get lost in the mists of time (and archive). You can directly link to a post, not so with a shout.

So in the end it would most likely only serve to aggravate the member trying to search for the shout they got mentioned in :p

Not to mention that shouts are only meant to be idle banter, not discuss serious matters that would warrant the attention of someone not currently in the shoutbox :)


Fillip

[MissKalunji]

lol good point. Thank you!

[Merlok]

On 4.1.3 the MENTION BB-Code seems not to be working.

When you click it the BB-Code is displayed. And when I am typing in a username and click on submit, the only thing which is returned is a single "@".
When I am editing the post, the BB-Code is gone.

[DragonByte Tech]

I believe it's not intended to work like that, you should use the @username when mentioning someone :)

I see this mod got updated, but there's no list of the changes made in pl1.

Please try using @Username instead of the mention BBCode. It is not intended to work in that regard.

Hey, I am getting this DB error after installation on vb3.8.7 when trying to access the setting in admin panel: MySQL Error : Unknown column 'language.phrasegroup_dbtech_usertag' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

Yes I 've installed the xml that was inside the vb38 folder and I 've tried to reinstall/unistall multiple times with no joy. Any ideas?

It doesn't even uninstalls properly, all the tables and the buttons are still there!!

[MissKalunji]

did you make sure that you uploaded "all" the files?

If i remember right, the xml installer depends on these files (in includes i believe) to install and uninstall everything.

No I am just an idiot.. I have a renamed admincp folder but I still uploaded it as admincp. Apologies! :o

how do i fix it?

[DragonByte Tech]

That's not the complete error message so I'm sadly unable to assist with that issue.

Fillip

[DragonByte Tech]

Added a fix for a MySQL 4.1.x issue.

[DragonByte Tech]

Yeah, Pro's also been updated.

[Lazorbeam]

Hi DB Tech, very very nice mod. Users are loving it! I have a question.

Is it possible to remove the "tag users" block in threads? Or maybe disable tagging altogether? Thank you!

[DragonByte Tech]

That's a Pro-only option :)


Fillip

[ProFifaLeagues]

DragonByte we are using the Lite mod for now but wanted to know if there would ever be a way we could auto Tag all Members with this mod???

[Lazorbeam]

I think I've found a bug.

The mention BBcode is breaking other custom BBcode. On my site, I have 2 custom buttons. One adds a [ item] tag, the other adds a [ JUMP] tag. Both are turned into [ MENTION] tags with this mod installed (and with it disabled as well).

Any idea?

That's a Pro-only option :)

Fillip

I'm afraid my forum is relatively small and ad-free. Perhaps in the future. You have some very nice mods that I'd gladly spend money on if my site generated revenue!

[DragonByte Tech]

Sorry, there's no way for me to debug custom BBCode.

[Alan_SP]

DragonByte we are using the Lite mod for now but wanted to know if there would ever be a way we could auto Tag all Members with this mod???

On their site I made feature request for this and more. For example, I suggested possibility that certain usergroups can mention whole usergroups or sets of usergroups (using defined words).

For example:

@moderators (all of moderators)
@management (all of moderators, s.moderators and admins).

You could go there and support this feature request. :)

[flbutterflyz]

I like this mod and installed it. But there are a few snags.

One one style, the postbit leg shows up fine. In the other styles (the rest are based off of VB) the alignment's completely off. In options I chose to have it automatically inserted. Is there a way to fix this?

I'm also having the bbcode problem. They're all showing up as *mention*.

[halkum]

When I reply to a thread and use a @mention, it does a double post. I am using version 4.1.4, but can confirm it did it on 4.1.3 as well.

Could you try leaving only this mod enabled while disabling all others?


Fillip

That didn't work, however I wanted to test posting in advanced reply, which took me to a heading error and that took me to a modified functions file. Once I re-uploaded that file, it worked. Thanks!

[DragonByte Tech]

Glad it worked out :)


Fillip

[flbutterflyz]

Would the bbcodes still be an issue with Pro?

[DragonByte Tech]

We have no way of ensuring compatibility with custom BBCodes, so yes it would unfortunately :(


Fillip

[flbutterflyz]

Do you have any idea how to go about fixing this problem? The bbcodes worked great before this and now even disabling this mod doesn't fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

[BreezeDK]

Great mod!

However after upgrading to the newest version, suddenly all the members keep getting notifications when somebody is quoting a post where they are mentioned - so right now members are getting aggressively spammed! Why did you change the way this worked? (or is it a bug?) - if not please at least allow a setting to disable the functionallity.

EDIT: to clarify i dont mean @mentioned i just mean a normal quote ^^, i want to be able to allow members to disable this if they dont want it.

Fillip

[flbutterflyz]

^^Isn't that only operational if we use vbShout?

I'd like to remove the quotes and thread tags tabs too. How do I go about that if I don't use vbShout?

[DragonByte Tech]

What does vBShout have to do with anything?

Fillip

[flbutterflyz]

Okay I think I'm missing something then. Here's what I have, what do I change to get the tabs removed from the member profile page?

Screenshot (http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/flyingbutterfly2/tagging.jpg)

[DragonByte Tech]

There's currently no option to remove those tabs from the member profiles.

Fillip

[MissKalunji]

Someone mention that they received a "quote" notification when there was none.

I"m experiencing the same and never realized until he pointed it out

[8thos]

So if you quote someone with this modification, it sends a notification?
But there is no way to turn quote notifications off unless you have the pro version?

Is the notification instant or upon refresh?
To make the notification instant, you have to get vBNotifications right?

[DragonByte Tech]

DBTech is :)


Fillip

awesome i shall install now :)

[MySaltyreef]

great hack, gets 5 stars and nominated by me

[sticky]

Great mod, installed. Working on 4.1.5 beta 1.

Just curious, what is the point of tagging? Doesn't mention accomplish the same thing?

[sticky]

How to disable the quote notification?

[sticky]

Crap, I have to buy the pro version to disable quote notifications? Can't I just edit your mod and remove that instead of being extorted?

[ozzy47]

Extorted how? You install the lite version of the mod, and if it does not work to your liking, you simply uninstall it, no one is forcing you to buy the pro version.

And yes you can edit the mod but DBT does not support customizations to their mods, so it will have to be done by you in trial and error.:(

[Juggernaut]

being given a great mod for free, and he feels extorted XD

Yes, because a feature that was turned off previously is now left on purposely in order to force you into a purchase so you can turn it off.

[Juggernaut]

Yes, because a feature that was turned off previously is now left on purposely in order to force you into a purchase so you can turn it off.
No one is forcing you to use this mod, it is just as easy to uninstall. I don't consider getting something for free with less features than a commercial version, as an extortion. If that is a feature you really want, you could always buy the commercial version, otherwise, most people are happy to use the lite versions.

You are absolutely correct. However it also is not all that fair to provide this mod working one way for free and then change it to force users into an upgrade. They are within their rights to do it, and I'm within my rights to point it out.

It's a nice mod, I'm glad it exists.

While it may not seem fair to change features in the mod, it is up to the discretion of the Developer of the mod to include or exclude any feature he wishes.

Yes you are well within your rights to point out that you would like to see something changed, but calling it extortion is a little extreme. :)

[DragonByte Tech]

Yes, because a feature that was turned off previously is now left on purposely in order to force you into a purchase so you can turn it off.This is incorrect, it has never been a feature of the Lite version to be able to turn off notifications.

I thought I read in the thread earlier that the post quote notification was not enabled originally and was added later?

Anyway, doesn't matter, I am considering purchasing. However, there is a large and annoying bug. When I try to type in an e-mail address with the @ symbol if I have a user who has a name similar to the e-mail domain it will replace it with their profile instead of allowing the e-mail address.

How do I fix that and why does that happpen?

[DragonByte Tech]

I thought I read in the thread earlier that the post quote notification was not enabled originally and was added later?Adding a feature is not the same as removing the option of turning off a specific part of a feature :)

Quote notifications were indeed added in v2.0, but before that the feature plain did not exist, it was not disabled in any way :)

How do I fix that and why does that happpen?You can fix that by turning on the requirement for the ; delimiter to the end of mentions. It happens because it's quite difficult to accurately determine whether the @mention is a valid mention or whether it's a part of an email address.

I see, that is a solution. I like how clean the @username looks but seems there is no way around it. Thank you.

[DragonByte Tech]

Just to clarify; The end-result will still be as clean as @username, it's just actually performing the mention that requires the delimiter, to accurately tell the script when we start and finish a username :)


Fillip

[Jokermixer]

very cool! Istalled!

[Wordplay]

I am very interested in using this, but on my site, this would be even more useful if it were possible to tag usernames as well as blogtitles and link to blog titles.

maybe have
@username = grab username and link it to a profile
#blog title = grab blog title and post a link to the blog

that would be fantastic.

would the coder be interested in re-coding this for me?

I apologise if this has been mentioned, but the mention function doesn't appear to work on users with three-letter names. Is this something you're aware of?

Yeah I played around and found that did fix it. I was just looking for a solution that didn't involve that as people are more familiar with the Facebook/Twitter style of just writing @ and nothing else. But I'm grateful for your response and still very pleased with the plug-in. It's just the ungrateful members of the board who aren't. The more you give them the more they have to complain about.

[G37Sam]

Love this mod! You're the man

Would be nice if we could have the option to notify users by email (if possible)

[webuser00]

I noticed a bug where if a user quotes a post that has Mentions in it, the people mentioned in the original post will be re-mentioned because of the quoted post. Were you already aware of this?

Please let me know if there is a fix for that, and thanks a lot for the great mod! :) Will probably be buying the 'pro' version soon for the added features

[PAKIDIL]

is there any way user delete quoted message or tag messages that member got in their profile. I think it will make lots of load if its not deleted from the server after like few days later or there should be option from admin panel that admin can delete all old like days wise 30 days old quote ,tag threads from profile .

Does this still mention a user if the @ symbol is not posted before the username?
Example.
Does this still mention the user? Hi username

You need to use @ in front of exact username.

You can turn off the plugin, Member Info Profile Blocks in plugin manager for this product, that will remove them.

[DragonByte Tech]

This is a great mod, but when my members are mentioned the notification doesn't disappear after they've clicked on it. Any idea how to fix this?It'll work when they go to member.php?u=userid&tab=mentions unless you have some modification that changes that link.


Fillip

[Mr Morningstarr]

OK, when I click on notifications it goes to this address:

http://www.morningstarr.co.uk/forum/members/earl.html#mentions

But the tab is on visitor messages, if I click on the mentions tab I see the mentions, but the notification doesn't go. Can you tell me how I can fix this? Or is it just tough luck for me?

[DragonByte Tech]

That'd be a vBSEO issue then, I've been unable to fix that so it works for all users :(


Fillip

[Mr Morningstarr]

Blast, I figured it must be vBSEO.

Really wanted to use this mod too. Never mind. Great mod though.

[Mr Morningstarr]

Oh, it's OK. I can switch off member profile rewrites in the vBSEO settings. Everything now works a charm. Excellent.

a pity. would be fantastic for user retention....

[glen290]

Another great Dbtech product added to my forum, will have to start upgrading to pro soon, any chance of losing the link to Hivelocity hosting as on your arcade mod ?

[pete_brady]

Is there any way to issue email notifications - maybe one a day / week - to users to let them know they've been mentioned?

Not currently, no :(


Fillip

The more i think about this the more i wish it was there.

Any hope at all of getting it in?

If you post a feature suggestion over @ our forum we'll take it into consideration (vB.org posts get lost in the mists of time :))

I have just noticed that if a user having two spaces in its username, we can not tag him? Can you please double check and correct this issue?

[DragonByte Tech]

I presume you mean the @ mention feature?

If so, please re-enable the ; delimiter requirement to fix any such issues :)


Fillip

[sigh]

Hi Fillip, can you explain this then:

When I do that nothing happens, how does someone get "informed they had been mentioned"

They receive a notification in the dropdown where you get notifications about visitor messages etc.

Fillip

I'm having the same issue - when tagging a user the username is properly converted to a link, but they do not receive a notification, they do not receive credit in their postbit or stats.

Just installed today, latest version, running on 4.1.7.

Any ideas?

[DragonByte Tech]

Please try disabling all other mods then try it again :)


Fillip

[sigh]

And today it appears to be working ... notification in the top-right, and user tagging bar along the top.

I'll post back if the weirdness continues. In the meantime, thanks for another fun mod!

[DragonByte Tech]

You may have an over-aggressive cache system installed on your server somewhere - I've seen it happen on some other users but I was never able to figure out why.

Fillip

[sweetpotato]

I love this mod but when I use with Facebook App every post with content has user tag does not display on Facebook.

Have to uninstall, so sorry.

[Lazorbeam]

Anyone got the mod working properly on 4.1.8?

[mention] tags are working fine in some threads, and not working at all in others. Strange. Any idea?

[DragonByte Tech]

Try tagging people using the @ rather than the [mention] tag, as that's really only there as a helper tag.

Fillip

[KGodel]

Any possible addition in the future to enable usergroup tagging, such as @Administrator to send a notification to all members of said usergroup? That would be pretty neat...:P

(If not usergroup then creating custom notification/mention group lists.)

[leftanalog]

Having a weird issue.

One of my users on my forums name has a / in the middle of it.

when trying to use his name @xxx/xxxx I get back the following message and a jumbled page:

It works fine with every other name. SO no need to turn on the semi-colon requirement (I turned it on and @xxx/xxxx; still didnt work). So no point.

Thanks for the heads up though.

[Lazorbeam]

Edit: Solved using the following line;

<dt>Tagged in</dt><dd>{vb:math{vb:raw post.dbtech_usertag_quotes}+{vb:math {vb:raw post.dbtech_usertag_mentions}}} Posts</dd>

------

How would I go about merging both mentions and quoted stats? I'd like to have them in my postbit, but as one number instead:

<dt>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_usertag_mentioned}</dt> <dd>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_usertag_x_posts, {vb:raw post.dbtech_usertag_mentions}}</dd>
<dt>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_usertag_quoted}</dt> <dd>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_usertag_x_posts, {vb:raw post.dbtech_usertag_quotes}}</dd>

Which shows:

Mentioned: 20 Post(s)
Quoted: 26 Post(s)

That's my postbit at the moment, I'd like to just have it show:

Tagged: 46 Post(s)

(a total of both quoted and mentioned numbers)

Any simple way to do that?

Ok ive now updated the Shout box to the latest version and now it appears as it should do when turned on,But the User tagging system (latest version) now will still not work when tagging people.

Any ideas which may help us correct this would be great thanks guys:up:

[ProFifaLeagues]

Just an update on this matter:
Updated both vbshout and the tagging system to latest releases.Disabled all mods bar the tagging system and when using @membersnamehere the post links the username to the users profile but there is no notification at all they have been tagged......Looked over the posts made here in this thread and can not see anything to help so all ideas welcomed.

Or is there a way i can download older versions of this mod and then compare the changes (as it worked fine before we updated)

[ProFifaLeagues]

All working now.....Not sure why but re saving all Forums and options and its now A1 again.
Also thank you to DBT for the Help by pm!

[zeus_r6]

Is there a way to have a username suggestion box pop up the same way as when you are typing a pm to somebody as soon as you type the @ symbol?

[DragonByte Tech]

Unfortunately not, no :(


Fillip

[zeus_r6]

What about a fix for this (maybe a non transparent background for the mentions text in user profiles?

Nevermind, cleaned it up

[OldSchoolDSL]

Job well done :)

Nevermind!

[zeus_r6]

My user tags suddenly stopped working...I can put usernames in the tag user box and hit submit and it does say user tagged successfully but then it's like it never happened when the thread pops back up...ideas?

[DragonByte Tech]

Is that thread tags, or post mentions?

Fillip

[Everborn]

Just want to say thank you in the name of our forum!

We have had some corrupted version of the add-on before which caused smileys to have some codes next to them, but I just reinstalled and works like charm!

Good job with this mod - keep it up!

[zeus_r6]

Fillip

Thread tags...post mentions still work

[DragonByte Tech]

Please ensure you've reverted all customised AUT templates :)


Fillip

[ScarlosSantana]

Very useful

Installed Pro Version on my site today and the members love it.

[cdnbacon]

Great mod and all, but I decided to remove it from my forum recently. My problem is that the mention tags button is still usable when using advanced posting, and all it does is add an "@" sign. Not a big deal, but still something I'd like to get rid of.

Thanks!

[DragonByte Tech]

Delete the BBCode from your BBCode manager.

Your PHP can only access 32 MB of memory, which may be too low to fit a forum of your size. Unfortunately it is nothing we're able to fix, you need to contact your host :(


Fillip

are you sure?
it was working fine before i upgraded to 4.1.11

and its working perfectly fine if i go visit others profile or others visit my profile

just not when i visit my own

whats this have to do with memory?

what memory do you suggest i set for php in this case?

[DragonByte Tech]

We have 128 MB set for DBTech and it's working fine for us :)

What is this Facebook Apps? If I'm going to test this I need to know how I can set it up.

Fillip

[Quadronica]

for me not facebook app (don't use now) but iphone app

there are two different application

in my forum i want to disabled the notify for quote, where i can do it?

[DragonByte Tech]

If you use the iPhone app with your forum, could you please try disabling all plugins for the Advanced User Tagging product except "Global Initialisation", then re-enable them one-by-one until you find the one that breaks it?

If so, I will apply a fix that will ensure it works with the Mobile Suite :)

Unfortunately we do not use the Mobile Suite with our forum, so I am unable to test this myself :(


Fillip

[Quadronica]

when i try to enabled the "Render [MENTION] BBCode" the post is null

where i can disabled the quote notify?

[DragonByte Tech]

I'll get that fixed for the next version :)

Disabling individual notifications on a per-user basis is a Pro-only feature :)


Fillip

[DragonByte Tech]

Advanced User Tagging v2.0.5:
Fix: Fixed an issue where posts viewed via the Mobile Suite applications would all be blank
Fix: Improved reliability of @mentions, specifically it should no longer mention users whose names happen to match email addresses

Fillip

[Quadronica]

the update work fine...

it's possibile to disabled the notify of quote?

[DragonByte Tech]

The Pro version lets you disable notifications for each individual type (mentions, tags and quotes) :)

[Makaveli007]

I had to run the "rebuild post cache" maintenance tool today, and once complete, all posts lost the mentions. They are still there if you click edit on the post, but they do not show in the post itself. If you click save after clicking edit they do come back, but obviously I cannot go through and do that to all 500,000 posts. Is there a way to get them all back besides restoring to a backup?

EDIT, nvm figured it out. just open BBCode manager, click edit on mentions, and then click save without changing anything.

[cdoyle]

Hi,
I just installed this, and reading the description. I thought this would send a PM to a user if they are mentioned in a thread, to help bring in forum activity? But I'm not getting anything, is this normal? I was hoping to allow users to be able to tag other users, and they would get a PM notification. That way since my forums sends an email when you get a PM, users who have not been on the forum in awhile will know they were mentioned and hopefully it will bring them back.

Is this a feature of this mod?

Thanks
Chris

[Makaveli007]

After upgrading to vb 4.1.11, I have users who are getting issues in profile tabs for this mod. They get the words "document.write (")" written at the top of the screen when looking at the quotes/mentions etc tabs. In the error log in CPanel, I see:
/public_html/' + yuipath + ', referer: http://www.mywebsite.com/member.php?u=818&tab=thanks

It only effects a few users. I have had them clear their cache/cookies, but it still happens. I have reinstalled the mod already with no luck

Any ideas Fillip?

That would make this mod very useful in my forum and I'm sure all forums since it will help raise activity for every forum it's installed at.

Since users will want to know why they were tagged in a thread, and come back to view it.

figured it out Fillip! Like w8baby's issue, it only happened when people went to their own profile. Even after I increased to 128 MB allowed for PHP, the issue still happened, and I was unable to replicate it.

After working with a member on my site we narrowed it down to being old out dated version of firefox (perhaps other old browsers) as well, being unable to understand the new way the yuipath javascript is written into the headinclude template. in vb 4.1.11 it was re-written to ' + yuipath + '. My guess is this is some format that older versions of firefox cannot understand.

[GONUMBER6]

Fillip,

I updated this mod today to the newer version, now the notifications are not clearing. Also when I upgraded many months ago it does not take you straight to your mentions in the profile, but to visitor messages upon clicking the notification.

I have been trying to figure out which modification I have installed that may be causing these issues, but no luck so far. Is there any mods you are aware of that do these things?

[DragonByte Tech]

That would be vBSEO :)


Fillip

[GONUMBER6]

I do have vbseo but it is disabled, did that a long time ago because it made my forum so slow!

Okay I have disabled everything in my forum and it is still happening. Any suggestions?

[DragonByte Tech]

Leaving the vBSEO files in place can still cause this issue, AFAIK.

Fillip

[GONUMBER6]

Is there any way I can get the older version of this mod back?

[DragonByte Tech]

No, our archives only go back to 2.0.4 - before that, we did not archive Lite versions. Sorry :(


Fillip

[GONUMBER6]

I think I did have 2.04 before, I just got the notification this week to update it.

[DragonByte Tech]

2.0.4 is available here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/vbecommerce.php?do=demo&productid=20 :)


Fillip

Nope that did not work. :(

Thanks for trying!

[Bartender.]

So its confirmed there is no way to get mention notifications to work with VBSEO installed????

[DragonByte Tech]

If you wish to rewrite member URLs in vBSEO then at the time of writing the only way of getting notifications to work is to use our vBNotifications product (only available for vBulletin 4.x), sorry :(

Looks like a very nice mod. I just installed it on 4.1.11 and when going to the CP, clicking on options for this mod I get "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."

Is there some setting that needs to be fixed. Thanks.

[DragonByte Tech]

The causes for a 500 Internal Server Error are infinite, you'll need to check Apache's error log.

The error log states: usertag.php" is smaller than min_uid, referer

You may have logged in as root when you uploaded the files. Please delete all AUT files manually as whoever you logged in as, then log in as your normal ftp account (for instance, /home/dbtech/public_html means you should log in as dbtech) and re-upload the files :)

More on this one Fillip. I was still having the issue with members on my site who have older browsers (firefox 3.6 being the main culprit) so I decided to investigate further. It actually has nothing to do with your mod, but since everyone must use their profile to check their notifications from the mod, if they have older versions of firefox, they will have this issue.

The issue is located in the MEMBERINFO template, starting in vb 4.1.11. The reason it only affects people when they view their own profile, is because it is the customize profile button and the javascript it calls, that causes the problem.

If anyone else is having this issue, the below code is what is causing the problem. To fix it, you can comment it out/remove it (which will prevent users from being able to customize their profile) or you can put in conditions to block it from older versions of firefox. I am working on those conditions now and will update this thread when I have it figured out.


<vb:if condition="$show_customize_profile">

Many thanks

[Alan_SP]

You get notification.

If you use vBNotifications (also by DByte) you receive it without reloading page, almost instantly (depending how you set it). If not, you need to reload page.

[GKPet]

I tried installing this modification multiple times but it always ends up timing out. During the xml importnig process, the forum goes down and after a couple of minutes, everythnig times out and installation doesn't go through. Any idea what's going on and how to fix this?

Well, I can't speak for the other guy here....but on my own forum, we've noticed since upgrading to 4.1.11 that mentions seem to only work sporadically (though oddly enough, trying to make the same mention multiple times in one post gets it to work every time).

At first, we thought it was a conflict with the Word Links addon by BOP5 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=263699), but uninstalling that made no difference. We're not seeing any options under the usergroup manager for this tagging addon on the Lite version we run, so if they're meant to be there, we're obviously having some sort of serious problem.

DragonByte guys, anything we can do to help diagnose this?

EDIT: Hmmm, another error we're noticing. The statistics page stays enabled, regardless of if we've changed the options to disable it.

Yeah, something similar is happening with us, do you see the permission settings in usergroups/users?

I also installed a fresh db and install of VB, then only installed this mod - we saw the same problem on a fresh board - is this maybe something you can try too?

I'm wondering if it's server config problem?

[Mukashi]

I'm not seeing those permission settings, no.

These errors were *not* present in the old version that we upgraded from, but we're not sure if that's due to the vBulletin upgrade or to the upgrade to this addon. I'm quite certain however it's nothing to do with server configuration. If it was, the old version would've had the same fault, and it did not.

[clubvr4]

Are you in a position to install a fresh copy of vb 4.1.11 and see what happens then? For me it was the same problem.

Not really at this point in time, no. In any case, since I know for a fact it was working when we were on 4.1.10 and version 2.0.4 of this mod, I'm confident that the cause was a change either in vBulletin, or in this mod, between those versions.

Same here, NOT seeing any user permissions

[DragonByte Tech]

I tried installing this modification multiple times but it always ends up timing out. During the xml importnig process, the forum goes down and after a couple of minutes, everythnig times out and installation doesn't go through. Any idea what's going on and how to fix this?That can happen if you have a very large forum, you need to allow PHP to override its timeout settings during runtime so that installation can complete :)

Hmmm, another error we're noticing. The statistics page stays enabled, regardless of if we've changed the options to disable it.There's been a hotfix applied to the Lite version applied to DBTech that will display a No Permissions error if one attempts to access that page while the setting is turned off.

It wasn't updated here on vB.org because it's not a serious problem and we prefer to do rollups rather than infinite hotfixes :)

I'm not seeing those permission settings, noCould you please PM me with an FTP account as well as an AdminCP account? If so, I'll hopefully be able to resolve this :)

PM sent.

[DragonByte Tech]

Sorry for the confusion, there's not supposed to be any permissions in the Usergroup Manager in the Lite version. My bad :(

Since I can't seem to find any forum for testing or indeed any staff room to test mentions, I don't know if re-uploading the files has fixed it.

Could you please test it now and see if it works better?

If not, I'll need to know exactly which test scenarios worked and which doesn't :)

Couldn't give you access to the staff forums, since we've got sensitive info in there. If you needed to have specific forums for testing, I really wish you'd waited for me to come online (or asked me for details of an admin who'd be around when you would be), rather than changing a bunch of settings on a live forum. We did have two (hidden) forums labeled as something like "Empty Unused Forum", that you could have repurposed for your needs.

Can I ask you what exactly you did? When I woke up a short time ago, I had one of my admins frantic because the Thread Tags were on in all forums, even though we had those turned off. I'm guessing you had turned those on for testing purposes, but we do not want or use that portion of the mod, so we've had to disable those. If you needed those on for testing, then we can set those back up later in a test forum.

I'm now also seeing a 4th checkbox in the Forum Manager for this mod, with nothing next to it. That supposed to be some debug kind of thing to do with what you were trying to do?

EDIT: Seems to be worse than before now. Got people reporting stuff like this.
I'm getting problems trying to mention specific users, because part of their username is that of a different user.
For example:
@hellion
I want to tag Hellion put it tags the user called hell instead.


It seems to work fine when people manually put in the mention tags though.

EDIT 2: I've had to disable your admin CP access, and that FTP account. I don't know what you changed exactly, but now we're noticed odd behaviour with other settings that there would have been no reason to have been changed. Not to mention that your FTP account showed that you did almost 6GB of traffic, which just seems outrageously high for what you would have done.

The only thing I did was upload the AUT Lite files again.

EDIT: Seems to be worse than before now. Got people reporting stuff like this.That's rather impossible, one of the code changes in 2.0.5 was to reverse the sort order so that longer usernames are always mentioned before shorter ones.

[02:11:55] 421 Timeout - try typing a little faster next time
[02:11:55] Server closed connectionI'd suggest you uninstall the mod, delete all AUT files (usertag.php in / and /admincp, anything that has usertag in the name in /includes/xml and the /dbtech/usertag folder, then re-download it from DBTech's Lite download area and do a clean reinstall.

There is no reason why the behaviour you are describing should be happening, according to the PHP code I have in front of me right now it's actually quite impossible O.o

[Mariobf3555]

Everything installs fine.... but when i try to mention someone.... it doesnt show up in the post, but iff u edit the post you can see where it tried to tag them...

[DragonByte Tech]

That could be part of the same problem Mukashi was running into, please try re-downloading and re-uploading it from here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/vbecommerce.php?do=demo&productid=20

[Mukashi]

Well, our forums server is currently unresponsive (seems to be an Apache crash, can't get into the cpanel or WHM), but from what you've said I can only conclude that someone else logged in with the details we gave you. I'll have to check the logs when everything's back up, and I'll get back to you when I know what's happened. Not sure if that's indicative of a security issue at our end, or if perhaps that info was somehow pulled from your PM's.

EDIT: Okay, just went and uninstalled the addon, deleted all the files, then reuploaded and reinstalled using the archive from the DBTech site, and got the following error as I did (this error appearing after adding tables, but before editing the styles)
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/adminfunctions_plugin.php on line 1557
The addon finished installing, but presumably that error may be the cause of all our issues.

Still have a copy of 2.0.4 sitting on my HDD, so I'll try installing that one....
Okay, same error on installation, same place.

According to vBulletin, /includes/adminfunctions_plugin.php was modified in vBulletin 4.1.11, so there's the problem I think.

As for those logs BTW, I'm not seeing anything weird about the access from the account you used, so I've got no idea what's gone on there, or why it was saying you'd used 5GB of FTP transfer. *shrugs*

[Markos]

Hi i have a modified postbit and was wondering if u can tell me where the bit so i can rap the postbit with a box

Edit: its ok i found it

[ScarlosSantana]

Only issue i seem to have is when I wrap the tags around someones name it always comes back as just an "@" symbol

I have to go edit the post and I'll see it works halfway, as in it won't have the "[/MENTION]" on the name yet the first half will be intact. So I have to manually type the closing tag on the post everytime so it will work. I can't understand as to why it does this.

You're supposed to just use @Username or userid :)


Fillip

[baileyjojoms]

Installed on my forum as well running 4.1.11 patch level 1

Only issue I had was when using @username it would sporadically not mention certain people.

I did however turn on the requirement to use a semi-colon and this seems to have fixed the issue.

As for the [mention] code I tried this using user ID's and it still shows as only the @ symbol with no links to a profile of any kind.

This however is not something we would be using a lot as we don't really go by user id #'s

[MattGarner]

Is there a way of stopping users being told that they mentioned or quoted someone on their own profile?

Example: If I quote the user "Jack". I go on my profile It will say: MattGarner quoted Jack.

[DragonByte Tech]

Not currently, but we'll be looking into this as an option for future versions :)

hi , this mod must update for vb 4.1.12

It works fine in 4.1.12?

[Alan_SP]

hi , this mod must update for vb 4.1.12

It works with default style, but it doesn't work with default mobile style.

[ScarlosSantana]

That's not how you use the mod, in between the mention tags is the userid, not the username.

OK gotcha


thanks

[CuteC@t]

1. Thanks for this nice mod.

2. I don't have this option, did i miss something.

Ability to tag all your friends by checking a checkbox instead of typing out usernames

[antonrangel]

I've installed the mod in my forum, but it's not appearing anywhere.
Maybe one thing you should know is that I've changed my forum path for security reasons.
Appreciated.

The OP is wrong, that's actually a Pro-only feature. Sorry about that :(

I've installed the mod in my forum, but it's not appearing anywhere.

Appreciated.Have you set your usergroup permissions?
You need the Super Admin permission via config.php to see it if you have not granted yourself Can Administer Advanced User Tagging via the administrator interface.

I'm not sure what you mean by changing your forum path for security reasons, but to my knowledge there's no security benefit by not having the forum in the normal /home/<username>/public_html folder or a subfolder within.

Fillip

Sorry about that. What I meant was that I changed the 'admincp' and 'modcp' folders for security reasons. I don't know if that makes any difference.

I'd already those permissions, but I searched and I didn't have Can Administer Advanced User Tagging permission abilited, now it is... However, I stil can't see it anywhere.

[DragonByte Tech]

When you have that permission, you'll see it in the AdminCP. However, unless you manually uploaded the file that is meant to go in the AdminCP folder into your new admincp folder, it will error out.

Fillip

[antonrangel]

Sorry, I miss confused somethings. Everything is working fine.
But, i've one question: How do I delete a Tagged User? I mean, not banning him, but deleting its tagged.

[DragonByte Tech]

You mean remove the tag from a thread? That cannot be done at this time.

Fillip

[kendra]

We have just started using this on our forum (over 2M posts), and it seems to be working great except that when I quote someone, it shows up as them having quoted me -- under my Quotes tab, it will say A quoted Me, when in fact I quoted A. Any thoughts on why that would be happening?

Also, Fillip, are you taking paid mod requests? Implementing email notifications instead of simply navbar notifications would be huge for us (especially with the user option to turn it off as desired). We haven't upgraded to the Pro version yet but absolutely would + would pay for that mod if it were an option.

[DragonByte Tech]

Are you sure you're not reading the list entry wrong? It will show that "B quoted A" (where B is your user name).

We currently don't have time to take on any paid requests, sorry :(


Fillip

[kendra]

Goodness - sorry; you are right!

Sad to hear that you're not taking paid requests; maybe we'll see that feature pop up at some point down the road (we can hope!). :)

[Mithan]

nm.

[Mithan]

Also, how can I turn off the Post Tagging thing at the top of posts or move it around??
