[DBTech] Advanced User Tagging v3 (vB3)

[DragonByte Tech]

Advanced @User Tagging Mod: What is it?

DragonByte Technologies is proud to present [DBTech] Advanced @User Tagging.
This version introduces several major new features that users have requested, and some others we were unable to fit in v1.0.

The @user Tagging mod is designed to increase activity on your forum by allowing members to mention each other in posts when talking about them.
This is done in a very easy way, very similar to how Twitter mentions people. We use @ ; as the tags, so for instance you could say:
----
This new mod from @Dragonbyte Tech; is pretty cool.
----
The ?@DragonByte Tech;? Will become a link to the DragonByte Tech users profile, it will also inform DragonByte Tech they had been mentioned, and link to the relevant thread/post via a new area in the profile section, as well as a new tab in the shoutbox.

It also allows members to ?tag? the thread for specific other members by inputting their usernames in the tag box above the posts of the thread.

This is a great way to increase your forum activity with no extra admin input required ? people will start to mention posts/threads to their friends, which will increase the amount of posting. This is especially useful of forums which have an international contingent (so threads posted in during the night for some of your members don't go overlooked) or forums which have a lot of posts/threads each day ? again to make sure that a post a person might want to read doesn't get lost in the crowd.

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

Will post back when issue is resolved.

[jorge_kai]

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 :)

[Megatr0n]

Difference between Lite and Pro version?

=)

[davepurcell]

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.

[DragonByte Tech]

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 ;)

[Taurus1]

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!

[ctrlbrk]

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 hope you can help. Thanks!I believe that has been fixed now, re-download the zip and re-upload all the files :)

a) I don't think I want the Thread tagging (separate tagging, not @). Can it easily be disabled?You'd have to remove the contents of the taglist template. That should kill it, and you didn't even have to use fire! :)

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

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...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 &amp; etc) has been released :)

[Taurus1]

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.

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

[Taurus1]

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

I don't see any count in the postbit for 'mentions' in the postbit.

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

Sorry, where to check this? :o

[TheInsaneManiac]

I don't like having to type out @username and then having to include a Semicolon...

Also, you didn't cache any of the templates in your modification.

Is it possible to make it similar to Twitter with just @username?

[DragonByte Tech]

I don't see any count in the postbit for 'mentions' in the postbit.



Sorry, where to check this? :othe table would be checked in phpmyadmin or a similar mysql tool. Sorry I can't be of more help atm but I am currently without a net connection :(

I'll look into template caching, thanks :)

[Taurus1]

Would just like to let you know that this is now working perfectly!! And it is really awesome!! I would recommend this to everyone!

And thanks again for your great service mate!!

[jorge_kai]

fantastic, installed!!

[DragonByte Tech]

DragonByte Technologies is proud to present version 1.1 of [DBTech] Advanced @User Tagging.
This version introduces several major new features that users have requested, and some others we were unable to fit in v1.0.

Statistics Page: Display which users are the most active, both at tagging and being tagged. Same with mentions. This is a great way to encourage your members to utilise the feature and increase activity!

Post Previews: See the context of the post you were mentioned in! (Hard limit of 20 characters either way in Lite version)

BBCode Integration: A button for mentioning has been added to the BBCode toolbar – Users no longer need to remember the @; command.

Change look of Mentioned usernames: Allows you to use BBCode to make mentioned usernames stand out. Only underline is available in Lite.

Per Forum Settings: Allows you to turn tagging on/off per forum (disables the tag cloud) and mentioning per forum (Disables mention notifications from that forum)


We hope you enjoy this new version :)

[Morrus]

This is in the 3.8 section of vBulletin.org and the header at the top of this thread says it's for 3.8.4, but the text file in the zip package says "Advanced @User Tagging (Lite) requires at least vBulletin 4.0.2. It may not function correctly in vBulletin 4.0.1 or lower."

Which version of vBulletin is this for? I'm considering getting the pro version, but I run 3.8.4.

[Morrus]

OK, ignore the above - it works on 3.8.4.

It's a fantastic system! I've nominated it for MOTM and purchased the Pro version; this is a really good idea. There are a couple of oddities (such as only counting the first mention in a post, so if you mention more than one person it doesn't appear in the Mentions tab on their profile), and the Statistics page seems to confuse mentions and tags (someone is listed as top tag when all he has done is mention, for example), but I'm sure these will get ironed out.

Also, the option to not show the @ in the Admin CP resets to "Yes" every time you save the settings, and if you put the tag box below the thread it simply disappears.

And an option for users to opt-out would be great; I've had a couple complain about being bugged by thread mentions when they're not interested in following them.

[DragonByte Tech]

only counting the first mention in a post, so if you mention more than one person it doesn't appear in the Mentions tab on their profileWill be looked into for the next maintenance or feature update :)

the Statistics page seems to confuse mentions and tagsSmall typo in the file, it's been fixed. The affected file is dbtech/usertag/hooks/misc_start.php, thanks for reporting :)

Also, the option to not show the @ in the Admin CP resets to "Yes" every time you save the settings, and if you put the tag box below the thread it simply disappears.Fixed, re-download the Pro version and re-import the XML file :)

And an option for users to opt-out would be great; I've had a couple complain about being bugged by thread mentions when they're not interested in following them.I don't see why we can't add that for the next feature release ^.^


Thanks for your support, it means a lot :D


Fillip

[Morrus]

Fantastic, thanks!

One minor phrase suggestion (very much not vital) is to clarify the headings on the Statistics page. Where it says "Top Mentions" and "Top Tags" it might be clearer to say "Most Frequent Mentioners" and "Most Frequent Taggers".

Not a major issue at all; it's just a clarification thing so that folks are clear as to what the table is showing them.

I did search in phrases to see if I could change it, but it lokos like it's hard-coded.

Did I mention that I think this is a really good idea? I don't know why nobody thought of it before, but it's one of those "this is how things should work" ideas.

Thanks for the suggestion, will definetely look to fix that for the next version.

Thanks for the compliment on the idea as well - it's rare the designer ever gets any credit in this game for coming up with the ideas that make a difference haha!(Can you tell that's me? =P)

Hi there, I upgraded to the new one. But now in my ACP on the left with the Usertag settings....(Forum Manager and Settings) I get a database error when I click any of those. I also do not have the little icon (speaker) on my editor toolbar.
Sorry for always having problems.

EDIT: When I click on Test this product, I get this "The product called'DragonByte Tech: Advanced User Tagging (Lite)' does not have any Template-Modifications, is not active or all Template-Modifications for this product have been disabled. Please go back and check your input."

Don't know if this has any relevance!?

[nascartr]

One problem I see is that there are no permission settings. Someone that is not logged in can go about tagging members anytime they want and I'm afraid that could be annoying to certain members if the right guest come along and started playing around.

[Taurus1]

I also now get this when posting something new:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/thebull/public_html/forums/dbtech/usertag/hooks/postdata_presave.php on line 53

It sounds like the installer script didn't run properly, maybe a re-import will fix it :)
If not, please post the database error and I'll investigate :)

I don't see why that should time out for you then..
It's most likely not able to find the parent forum and keep looping infinitely, but according to that it should have no problems doing so.

Did you try what else I put in my previous post?

[Morrus]

Just a pie-in-the-sky idea for the future - would email notifications be a good idea? It would have to be controllable by the member in question, of course.

In addition, does it follow permissions (I'm thinking people the user has ignored)?

[Taurus1]

I did, and I don't get that fatal error anymore, but the two options in my ACP still gives me an internal server error. So I cannot set it up.

EDIT: And I still dont have the little speaker on my editor toolbar.

It doesn't follow Ignore no, but the Pro vrsion has an option to only allow notifications from friends.

EDIT: And I still dont have the little speaker on my editor toolbar.Can you check your Apache server logs for anything that might indicate the cause of the Internal Server Error?

As for the speaker icon, can you check your BBCode manager to see that the BBCode exists?
It's [MENTION] :)

Checking the logs now. Will get back on that.

Yes the [MENTION] BBCode is there.

EDIT: OK, I managed to fix the Internal Server Error, it seems to have been a permissions issue in my FTP.

So now I do get this error in some threads again:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method vB_Template::fetch_template_raw() in /home/thebull/public_html/forums/vbseo/includes/functions_vbseo_hook.php on line 25

And the BBCode is still not showing.Thanks!

[DragonByte Tech]

If you click Edit on the BBCode, does the image path show?
If yes, then it would appear that the image can't be found. Can you link me to your forums and I'll be able to tell you whether I did something wrong here ;p

The vBSEO error is a bug in vBSEO, they don't use the correct method to determine whether it's running on vB3 or vB4.
They need to use the following code
if (intval($vbulletin->versionnumber) == 3) to check for vB3.
Please report it on the vBSEO forums and they should be able to fix it :)

OK, I will report it. Is it not possible for me to edit that myself though?

When clicking on 'edit' inside all the options there is a "Button Image (Optional)" field. In there is this : "dbtech/usertag/images/mention.png"

I had to disable the mod otherwise I will get those VBSEO errors. But let me know when you want to check it, and I will enable it again. My URL is:

Thanks again for your great service!!

[DragonByte Tech]

When clicking on 'edit' inside all the options there is a "Button Image (Optional)" field. In there is this : "dbtech/usertag/images/mention.png"Are you sure that image was uploaded?
Not that it matters until the vBSEO issue is resolved, but I'd still like to know if I was doing it wrong ;)

[Taurus1]

Are you sure that image was uploaded?
Not that it matters until the vBSEO issue is resolved, but I'd still like to know if I was doing it wrong ;)

Yes, I checked, it is uploaded. The image is there, in the BBCODE manager I can see it.

[DragonByte Tech]

That's weird, maybe it's a skin specific file then. I'll check it out :)

[TheInsaneManiac]

Facebook can do @Full Name, why cant this app remove the semicolon?

[DragonByte Tech]

Doing that kind of checks on major posts like forums would lag up browsers I reckon.

[ctrlbrk]

Doing that kind of checks on major posts like forums would lag up browsers I reckon.

I for one would like the option to spend more server CPU time to make it more user friendly. If it's too server intensive, can be disabled.

I've not purchased this or installed it yet mainly because I'm concerned that without making it simple people won't use it.

Mike

[DragonByte Tech]

There's always the BBCode button that lets your users type an username without needing to know the @ and ; keys :)

We'll investigate for future versions, but we can't promise anything due to the fact that this mod is not the single reason why someone would type the @ letter :)

[Morrus]

I've not purchased this or installed it yet mainly because I'm concerned that without making it simple people won't use it.

Whether it adds an @ or not, the users still do the same thing. They use [mention] tags or the post editor button. Removing the @ may be an aesthetically preferable situation, but it makes no difference to how the users use the mod.

[ctrlbrk]

Still on the fence :) A question --- if the user opts for the Toolbar option, does it use AJAX like other areas of the site to predict/finish the username? Like when you send a PM for instance, how it pops up with the usernames as you type.

I'm just concerned to spend money on this and then find people have type-o's in usernames. I was talking to one of my mods about this and he kept leaving out the space in MY username when I was showing him how to use it. So if a mod even has trouble...

I really want this, I think it could be great to increase social networking on the site itself. It's a shame it couldn't work in-line in the editor itself, as you type (just like I am typing this post right now), if it detected @ it could start displaying usernames as someone typed :) I wonder how facebook does it.

Mike

[DragonByte Tech]

@ctrlbrk: I understand your concern, the reason why we didn't implement AJAX checking like FaBook does is that not only may it be hard (or impossible) to hook into the WYSIWYG editor (that's yet to be confirmed, we'll investigate for the future though), but it may cause confusion if an user is typing an email address and not attempting to tag.

Additionally, the AJAX check isn't instant, so users may put typos in there before the AJAX check has a chance to kick in.

It's certainly something we'll look into though, I'll raise this as a Task in our project tools :)

[ctrlbrk]

Sorry for bugging you guys again, I know your like "just install the damn thing already!" but I am methodical ;)

Question, lets say a user tries to tag but screws it up, like leaves out a space or semicolon. If a mod or admin goes back later and edits the post to fix it, will the tagged user still be notified (on edit, instead of initial post)?

Mike

[Brandon Sheley]

I don't remember seeing this mod before, thanks I've been looking for something similar. :)

[nascartr]

Any progress with the usergroup permissions?

[DragonByte Tech]

Any progress with the usergroup permissions?

You mean the ability to exclude usergroups from being mentioned?

Already a pro feature =)

MikeYeah, it will work 100% regardless of who edits the post.
We just tested it ourselves as a matter of fact, and even if someone other than the poster him/herself edits the post it will still show as being a Mention from the correct user :)

[Brandon Sheley]

I just installed this and nothing shows up when we do @usernames (http://www.general-forums.com/t70300/)
I might be interested in the pro version, but the lite version MUST work first.

[DragonByte Tech]

It's @username; - notice the Semicolon at the end :)

[M.Kay]

accepting moderated posts stopped working after installing this mod. Please check it. it is a nice mod.

[DragonByte Tech]

Please re-download all files and re-upload, this has been fixed I believe :)

[matthewhotdude]

is it supposed to show the @ and the ; at the end of the tag

User Tagging: Hit “Tag Users” to recommend the thread to people without mentioning them in your post. A great way to make sure people don't miss threads that would be suitable for them!

no!
I found a new problem with undeleting posts. also no errors but not working.

[cykelmyggen]

I have the AME plug in installed and it works
I posted a ticket at DBT and they investigated by adminaccess to my forum. They claimed I had to uninstall AME to make it work. They promised to contact the coder behind AME to get a solution. But happy on your behalf that you have this working

[DragonByte Tech]

What is the user tag list?That'd be the block that appears above each thread's content, I would imagine :)
It contains users that have been tagged in the thread, as opposed to mentioned in a post.

no!
I found a new problem with undeleting posts. also no errors but not working.Can you please give more details? What happens that leads you to believe it doesn't work?
I can't solve this unless I know exactly what happens.

Hii
when I try to approve a post. I select the post and click on "approve post(s)". the inlinemode.php loads and come back to the thread. BUT the post isn't approved.

[Hex_legend]

How do you move the "mentions" in postbit_legacy? I don't like where it shows me how many times a user has been tagged and would like to move it.

I have found from the plugin that the code is $usertag_postbit but as soon as I disable the plugin telling it to put it in its default location, that part wont show either.

Any tips?

[DragonByte Tech]

Comment out the $template_hook part, you should then be able to use that variable to put it where you want it to go :)

[Hex_legend]

how would I comment it out?
is it in postbit_display_complete?

[DragonByte Tech]

The plugin yeah :)


- Fillip

[Hex_legend]

Could you help with the code please? I haven't dealt with plugins and don't want to mess anything up

[Morrus]

We've been experiencing a problem with this (the pro version). A number of posts - seemingly random - would be completely deleted when we tried to edit them. Not all posts, but there doesn't seem to be a discernable pattern to those effected, and it's not necessarily those with mentions or tags.

However, uninstalling the product fixed the problem instantly.

Any idea what might be going on there?

[DragonByte Tech]

If you're a Pro customer, please post on our website for priority support :)

This has never been reported before and sounds extremely unlikely since this mod doesn't call post deletion code...


Fillip

[Hex_legend]

if you can paste the plugin code to remove, that will be very helpful :)
Many thanks for a great mod

[TheInsaneManiac]

I'm on my phone at the moment, so please forgive me posting it here!

We'll experiment with installing/uninstalling it to make sure. It may well have been a coincidence in timing and caused by something else, so I'll let you know how we get on.

[TheInsaneManiac]

Then how do I use the Tag List? Is it everytime someone is tagged within a topic their name is displayed in the tag list?

[DragonByte Tech]

Then how do I use the Tag List? Is it everytime someone is tagged within a topic their name is displayed in the tag list?

In posts people are mentioned, to tag them hit the "tag user" button that should appear at the very top of the thread =)

Iain

[Morrus]

Well, I gotta confirm that switching it back on brings back the errors.

I'll ask someone to look at the code. Do you want to know if he finds anything?

[DragonByte Tech]

Of course :)
You can also tell him to try disabling all other plugins and see if the errors still appear. If not, enable them one by one until you find the one it conflicts with, then either myself or him can figure out what's causing the conflict :)


Fillip

[SoloX]

I had to disable tagging as visitors were able to abuse the system. Is this corrected in the Pro version?

How can I remove the following:

When a user gets notified of a mention it appears under notifications

-Mentions
- Thread Tags

How can I remove the notification heading Thread Tags from the Notifications Popup menu?

Secondly how do I remove the "Thread Tags" Tab from user profiles?

Which templates do I need to edit

Thank you.

Abuse it how?


Fillip

I think he means the following, which is what I just discovered:

1. Unregistered/Unlogged in account (Guest) is able to use the User Tag List.

2. Setting for Forum Permissions, really its for Category.


I had to disable "Thread" tags via No. 2. to disallow No. 1.

Was this intended?

[DragonByte Tech]

I see, no it wasn't. I'll have it fixed soon as I have some time available :)


Fillip

[MjrNuT]

I see, no it wasn't. I'll have it fixed soon as I have some time available :)

Thanks for your attention to this. It seems maybe a ugroup on/off permission is suitable since its a basic control? I logically went to look there and didn't see any attributes for that.

[Wonksta]

Disable the following plugins:
Notifications (notifications_list)
Member Info Profile Blocks (member_build_blocks_start)


Fillip

I am only trying to remove Thread Tags from both Notification Menu and Profile page I want to keep the notifications running for only Mentions if I disable those plugins won't that disable all notifications (including for Mentions)?

[SoloX]

Abuse it how?


Fillip

by tag spamming resulting in useless tags. one particular member was banned. He learnt to clear his cookies and come back an copy pasted hundreds of member names in countless threads.

[DragonByte Tech]

I am only trying to remove Thread Tags from both Notification Menu and Profile page I want to keep the notifications running for only Mentions if I disable those plugins won't that disable all notifications (including for Mentions)?Oh, it's not currently possible to remove only notifications from Thread tags.


Fillip

[Wonksta]

Oh, it's not currently possible to remove only notifications from Thread tags.


Fillip

Hi again,

I will try to explain a bit better (should have at the start :P) I have removed the Thread Tagging box that was displayed above threads basically disabling thread tagging, since thread tagging has been removed there is no way for members to tag users to threads therefore the notification text that says Tagged in Threads etc is no longer required.

I just want to remove it from _appearing_ to the user but can't figure out what template to edit to remove those Tagging headings from showing up?

P.S - Great Mod mate very nice.

[Wonksta]

Never mind - I like the mod so much the extra features in the Pro version are exactly what I need (wasn't aware of a pay version lol).

Thanks DragonByte.

Hey Fillip,


I hope you don't mind the bump, which is only to provide some more feedback after I took a more comprehensive look at your plugin. I made sure I understood the differences to the Pro version as well, to see that I'm hopefully not being redundant. Meaning if you have something in the Pro version that matches my feedback list, then duhh, its not applicable. ;)


Please review at your convenience to see if anything is reasonable to implement or even feasible. Perhaps others can weigh in on this as well. If I have made a redundant comment, do please make that clear of my mistake.


User Tagging --

1. Unregistered/Guests have access to this feature. Disallow by default.
2. Provide for Ugroup on/off use of mod in ACP. To allow/disallow access for User Tagging.
3. This utilizing the same auto-username finder of vB?
4. Thread Tags Profile Tab should only appear IF user tagging is enabled.
5. Thread Tags Profile Tab should have a per User Privacy Setting. This is for each User to set for themselves. (e.g., only Registered Members see the content of Thread Tags Profile Tab.)
6. ACP option to enable/disable the postbit information.


User Mentioning

1. Provide for Ugroup on/off use of mod in ACP. To allow/disallow access for User Mentioning.
2. Mentions Profile Tab should only appear IF user mentioning is enabled.
3. Mentions Profile Tab should have a per User Privacy Setting. This is for each User to set for themselves. (e.g., only Registered Members see the content of Mentions Profile Tab.)
4. ACP option to enable/disable the postbit information.

Thanks and look forward to your reply.

[DragonByte Tech]

Epic post there, thanks :D
I'll post it in the Project Tools at our site, and we'll take a look at them all for future versions :)


Fillip

[Wonksta]

I had an idea. Would it be possible for the script to automatically Mention a user when someone quotes their post?

Example of a normal quote [quote=Username;131213]

Would it be possible to somehow make it [quote=@Username;131213] without breaking the Quote box?

Thanks!

[MagicThemeParks]

I'd be interested to see if this mod has helped in increasing the activity on your sites. I'm still trying to see how this would benefit our users.

Thanks for the reply Dbyte.

I have disabled the Stats page from the ACP settings, however, the page still shows via Community Drop down.....?

Can you reproduce this?

[DragonByte Tech]

Yeah, I'll fix it for the next version :)
For now, you can manually disable the "Navbar Hook" template.

[DragonByte Tech]

Ooh I see, thanks for letting me know :D


Fillip

[Taurus1]

And once again you guys rock!! All errors are sorted out and it is working perfectly!

Man, I just love your mods!!

[Shai Gar]

Hii
when I try to approve a post. I select the post and click on "approve post(s)". the inlinemode.php loads and come back to the thread. BUT the post isn't approved.

i also have this problem

i've tried it by disabling every other mod and loaded the default skin and still have the same approve/unapprove post problem as M.Kay.

approve/unapprove posts works normally if i disabled all plugins, and also if i have all the mods enabled except for the @user tagging.

i also noticed that while the post are being unapproved as you can approve them via the admin control panel(just not the inline way as M.Kay mentions) the little man icon that usually shows when a post is unapproved isn't being shown.

[DragonByte Tech]

Thanks for the detailed report, I'll look into it for the next version :)


Fillip

[Shai Gar]

ok thanks.

something i forgot.

undeleting posts also has a problem when this is installed

tick the checkbox on the deleted post and selecting undelete from the dropdown menu, it runs through as though it has do it(no error given) but the post is still deleted. the only way to undelete is to click manage and undelete via /postings.php?do=managepost

[Hornstar]

I just installed this. I tagged someone and it showed up in the shoutbox. but when I click on the User Tags tab, it gave me:
Error: Service Unavailable
Not sure if that is a shoutbox problem or a problem with this, but thought I would let you know here ^^
Edit: I noticed that guests can tag people. How do I stop guests from being able to tag people?
Edit 2: How do i stop the Thread Tags from showing up at all to guests.

Final Edit: My members were loving this so I bought the pro version :) I will post over at your site for any more help that I may need. Thanks.

Edit: I noticed that guests can tag people. How do I stop guests from being able to tag people?That's an oversight, sorry :(

Perform the following template edit:
In template dbtech_usertag_inlinetaglist find:
<if condition="$taglist">
<tr>
<td class="alt1">{$taglist}</td>
</tr>
</if>

Add below:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']">

Find: </tbody>
</table>

Add above:
</if>

Edit 2: How do i stop the Thread Tags from showing up at all to guests.To do that instead, wrap the entire template in that if condition I just showed you :)

[AndyMP]

When I type a users name and click the icon to add the [MENTION] tags, the only thing that shows up in the post is the @ without the username.

Any help would be appreciated.

[DragonByte Tech]

If the username is wrapped in tags like so:
Username

Then it may be a mod conflict. Are you running AME? If so, please try disabling profile linking in AME. This is something the author told me to tell people who had this problem.

Fillip

[AndyMP]

Sorry, what is AME ? :) Not sure if this is significant but in the admincp > BB Code Manager the replacement code for Username is only @ - there is nothing else there, hence it just replaces it with @. Should there be something else ?

[DragonByte Tech]

Media Extender or something. If you don't know, then you probably don't have it :p

Does it work if you type @Username; manually?


Fillip

[AndyMP]

Media Extender or something. If you don't know, then you probably don't have it :p

[Majidm]

Great mod, installed on www.rocbattle.com

[Wonksta]

I've noticed if two usernames exist for instance James and James89 and you try to tag James89 by using @James89 it instead tags @James. The only way around this is by using the mention BBCode. In the interest of making it simple for naive forum members - could there be a possible fix in the future - Kind of like a drop down (ajax I think it is) menu when you write member usernames via PM in the TO section?

Thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

That's sadly not possible because we can't hook into the text area box in the way that would be required.

Where exactly is this statistics page located?

[joluis]

I have a problem with Render [BBCODE] Mention Plugin (in your mod.

When someone post a smilie, the output gets an extra code:

" class="inlineimg" />

This happens also in posts without mentions.

Also, some code like youtube bbcode sometimes shows rare HTML outpus instead youtube video.

If i disable your mod, (and exactly this plugin), all works perfect without rare HTML outputs

Maybe some bug in preg_replace code?. Thanks

EDIT: Also if i comment this code:

$text = $this->parse_bbcode(preg_replace('/\[\/?mention=?\]/i', '', preg_replace('/\[mention=(\d+)\](.*)\[\/mention\]/iU', $mention, $text)), $do_smilies, $do_imgcode, $do_html);]]

All works perfect, but no change in mention (because i stopped replace, of course).

[DragonByte Tech]

This happens in some instances with non-standard smilie codes. It's a known issue and will be addressed in an upcoming version.

Fillip

[SoloX]

Fillip, it happens even with standard smilies. actually, on my board it only happened with the standard smilies. all others were fine. just to let you. we shall wait for the fix per your availability.

[joluis]

Can you (at least) tell us a solution now for the code of Render?. I only need a solution for this line:

$text = $this->parse_bbcode(preg_replace('/\[\/?mention=?\]/i', '', preg_replace('/\[mention=(\d+)\](.*)\[\/mention\]/iU', $mention, $text)), $do_smilies, $do_imgcode, $do_html);]]

If you had solve this, is enough for me until next release.

[DragonByte Tech]

It's not a quick fix so I can't just give a solution I'm afraid.

Fillip

[SuperJoker]

Very nice.

Nominated!

Edit: Looks like I spoke to soon...

Checking the logs now. Will get back on that.

Yes the [MENTION] BBCode is there.

EDIT: OK, I managed to fix the Internal Server Error, it seems to have been a permissions issue in my FTP.

So now I do get this error in some threads again:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method vB_Template::fetch_template_raw() in /home/thebull/public_html/forums/vbseo/includes/functions_vbseo_hook.php on line 25

And the BBCode is still not showing.Thanks!

I'm having this same vbseo error. Did you get this fixed?

[ShawneyJ]

i have had to disable the mod, since today for some reason it was causing the hole right side of members profiles to disappear, eg: Mini Statistics, Friends, Recent Visitors etc. the right side of some members profiles became blank using FF and IE. i dont know why this mod would suddenly cause this as i have been using it for a while now, i havent added any thing new to clash wit it, but it had to be disabled for now if ever an update comes out i'll try again.

[joluis]

Is still under development?

[DragonByte Tech]

It is, and we'll be releasing a bugfix version update tonight, which will fix the MENTION BBCode problems and hopefully end all conflicts with existing mods :)


Fillip

[DragonByte Tech]

v1.2.2 has been released, which should fix the various compatibility issues that were introduced by the change to the ; delimiter in Mentions.

Fillip

[y2krazy]

If the username is wrapped in tags like so:
Username

Then it may be a mod conflict. Are you running AME? If so, please try disabling profile linking in AME. This is something the author told me to tell people who had this problem.


Fillip
I am having this exact issue, but cannot find anything in the AME options for profile linking. Did the author provide an exact setting to toggle off?

Thanks in advance!

[johnban]

Hi,

I install it, but in our forum my username has the trademark (™) at the end.. When I am tagging my username nothing happens...

Could you fix that??

Thanks,

Special characters like that can't be tagged in the Quick Reply box, it's a limitation of web technology as it stands atm, sorry :(

xmmm, what about to use the member ID or the username?? in that case .. they could use the ID for members that could not be tagged cause of the username...

Also.. How difficult is for "Tag Users" to be possilbe to edit?? I put a user by mistake and I want to remove him..

thanks,
John B.

[DragonByte Tech]

xmmm, what about to use the member ID or the username?? in that case .. they could use the ID for members that could not be tagged cause of the username...Hmm, I think (I'm not sure, another member of my team helped out with the RegExp for the mentions) that username works, so that may already be possible :)
Try it out and let me know :)

Also.. How difficult is for "Tag Users" to be possilbe to edit?? I put a user by mistake and I want to remove him.. Atm, it's not possible to un-tag users, but it's something we can look into adding in a future version :)


Fillip

[IsMaR]

Awesome. Is it server intense though?

[DragonByte Tech]

Not at all :)


Fillip

[Wonksta]

Anyway to exclude tags from incorrectly parsing for instance

username@HOTmail.com?

the word in the capitals always gets parsed because someone has an account 'hot'.

:(

[DragonByte Tech]

Sadly that's not possible in this version. We will look into improving our username matching code in a future version. No word on when exactly that'll arrive, though :(


Fillip

[onealien]

great mod...wrks perfect...

and for this one I will not ask for any additional features...just so u can tell me...
"thats in the pro version"...lolll

[JacquiiDesigns]

Thanks for this mod. Is there a way to customize the css output of mentions in posts? For instance I'd like link to render same as custom [user] bbcode I have which looks like

http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/7854/122201072350am.png

[DragonByte Tech]

Not currently, no. We may consider allowing custom markup in the future, but if so that would most likely be a Pro-only feature :)


Fillip

[JacquiiDesigns]

ah okay.
Thanks for the response and the share none-the-less :)

[viper357]

Email is planned :)

Any idea when you will be able to implement email (or PM)? I'm keen to purchase the Pro version if an email feature is added. Thanks.

[DragonByte Tech]

It will be in the next version update, no specific dates are available yet I'm afraid, we have a lot of other mods to update as well.

Fillip

[Rean]

hi, i have installed this mod..
it appear at navbar area when i use default vbulletin template
but my current template doesn't support notification at the navbar area

any idea how to show this?
thanx

[DragonByte Tech]

We unfortunately cannot support custom skins that disrupt default vBulletin functionality.

Fillip

[yahooooh]

Note :
this product still not work good with non english username
for example:
arabic usernames with 2 words and space between them , it will tagg the first word and not the whole name so it will tag another person

hope this fix on the next update , i purchased the full script but still this issue exist !

[DragonByte Tech]

This is already a known issue for some of our users :)

Non-ISO characters may not be mentionable via the AJAX Quick Reply due to the inherent limitation of AJAX technology.

The multiple word issue, along with the accidental email mistakes (user called Gmail.com being tagged when someone writes qwerty@gmail.com etc) will be correctable by the Admin in the next update when we plan to optionally re-introduce the ; delimiter :)

The customer was made aware of this in his support thread.


Fillip

[Mike08]

How can use it without @?? There is a way to do work it only quote a post?
Thanks.

[DragonByte Tech]

It's not possible to make it work with only quoting at this point in time.

Thanks ;)

AUT v1.2.3 has been released.

This version offers only two changes:

It is now possible to Mention people in Blogs.
Compatibility with the upcoming Postbit Tabs mod has been added.


The issues that stem from the lack of ; delimiter (email accounts being mentioned, incorrect user being selected some of the time, etc.) are not fixed in this version.
Those issues requires a more extensive update to fix.


Fillip

[Wonksta]

Fillip I think this is the most useful modification currently available on vBulletin.Org thanks for updating it and I look forward to the future updates!

Glad you enjoy it :D

No word on when exactly the next update will be, but considering this mod hasn't had a proper feature update in some time, it's not far off the top :)

Advanced User Tagging v1.2.4

Fixed a potential security risk with the Mentions display in profiles.
Fixed the rare instance where someone would receive eval() errors because of the PHP code not being linked to files in the file system.



Fillip

[furnival]

Really superb mod. It has made a huge difference to my board. Thanks!

[Wonksta]

How serious is the Security risk?

[DragonByte Tech]

It could potentially be serious, I don't really want to go into too many details but I'd strongly recommend updating.

Fillip

[Wonksta]

Cool just paid for Pro version BTW ;)

[Wonksta]

hmm in vbulletin it says its 1.2.3 not 1.2.4???

[DragonByte Tech]

Ah sorry about that, I fixed that now. You can re-download it and re-import, and it'll correctly show 1.2.4 :)


Fillip

[Wonksta]

Cool does the Security Risk affect 1.2.1 ?

[DragonByte Tech]

Yeah it does, it affects I think every version of 1.1.x and above.

It's apparently quite obscure since nobody reported it before today :p


Fillip

[Wonksta]

OK Cool thanks for the continued updating on this!

Nevermind, bbcode_parse_complete_precache.php was looking for usertag/class_template.php but I found the file in usertag/includes/class_template.php
I just modified the code and it's no longer breaking the board:up:

[DragonByte Tech]

I'll get that sorted for others on vB3 ASAP :)

[DEGE]

I've installed it. Worked fine. Any way to route the notifications directly to the post? I can edit the template, but need to know where to find the url.

Great mod

DEGE

[DragonByte Tech]

That's sadly not possible and will never be, due to the way the notifications system work in vBulletin.

Fillip

[Akyeame Kwame]

Is there a way to have the notifications sent to a tagged user via email? Also is there a way to tag users on a picture in user albums? If we can get these two features, vb will stop losing ground to fb
Great mod by the way!

[DragonByte Tech]

Currently not possible, but they will be added to future versions :)


Fillip

[Akyeame Kwame]

Fillip

Great! I look forward to it. Will future versions still support 3.8?

[DragonByte Tech]

Existing products will still be supported on vB3 for the foreseeable future, but any new products will generally speaking be vB4 only, unless we're seeing a massive drop in profits as a result.

I'm a real cheapskate but I'd definitely pay for that functionality as I'm sure would all sensible vb admins. Those two features are the main ways fb is able to outperform vb.
Great work once again and I look forward to seeing the update to the already wonderful product.

Great work once again and I look forward to seeing the update to the already wonderful product.Me too, I'm eagerly waiting to buy the PRO version once the email or PM notification feature for vb 3 has been added.

[Dave84311]

I've noticed an issue when someone quotes a post that has had someone mentioned in, it counts as another mention. Is there any way to disable that? I find it extremely irritating.

[DragonByte Tech]

That's sadly not possible, no.

Fillip

[Dave84311]

Email tags are broken with this mod.

Hi,

Is there any way to **remove** mistaken tags ? Don't see any.

[DragonByte Tech]

That's not possible, no.

I've just installed the latest update but when activated receive a database error when trying to view a member's profile:

Are you sure you imported the product XML file?

Fillip

[angeljs]

Yes, twice :)

[DragonByte Tech]

Please reset your version number to 1.2.2, delete all downloaded .zips, re-download it, then re-import the XML file.

It should then correctly update to 1.2.3 (which is when that column got added) and beyond.

Fillip

[angeljs]

Thanks, that did it :)

[DragonByte Tech]

Good stuff :D


Fillip

[viper357]

Anyway to exclude tags from incorrectly parsing for instance

username@HOTmail.com?

the word in the capitals always gets parsed because someone has an account 'hot'.

:(I have the same problem. DBTech, does the pro version prevent email addresses from being tagged?

[DragonByte Tech]

Not currently, no, we're looking into fixing it for the next feature update :)

I get this error in my Admin CP after installing your plugin when updating the settings on many of my plugins, including ibProArcade and Yet Another Awards System!

I'm running vBulletin 3.8.7

[Rickpwns]

Thank you very useful!

[DragonByte Tech]

v2.0 has been released:
* Re-introduces the ; as an optional delimiter for @mentions
* Notifications when you are quoted in a post

Fillip

[DEGE]

Hi,

Don't know if anyone else has this issue.

While this product is enabled I can't edit, or even see the BBCodes in the admincp. I have to disable the whole product to edit or add a new BBCode. I'm running VB 3.8.4

[Wonksta]

v2.0 has been released:

* Notifications when you are quoted in a post


Fillip

Interesting I just had an in-house mod quoted for that sole purpose. Does it notify the user who was quoted everytime they're quoted in the thread?

Or does it only notify people if they have been mentioned + quoted?

[DragonByte Tech]

Every time they get quoted :)


Fillip

[Wonksta]

Fuuuuuuuuuu if only I waited a little longer! Haha thanks mate this is going to be a HIT feature.

[Alfa1]

Every time they get quoted :)


Fillip
Can you please post screenshots? This is very interesting.

[DragonByte Tech]

Can you please post screenshots? This is very interesting.

Not really a ton to screenshot to be honest. Whenever someone is quoted they get a notification using the standard vBulletin Notification system. The look of the quote itself isn't modified =)

Iain

[Wonksta]

This quotes feature is amazing Dragon, Thanks so much!

[Fabikus]

How to disable quotes feature?

[DragonByte Tech]

Uncheck the "Quotes" box from all your forums (and new forums you create) in AUT's forum manager in the admincp.

Fillip

[SBlueman]

How sql intense is this modification? Could it slow down my site's performance?

[DragonByte Tech]

We've had no reports of this mod slowing down forums :)


Fillip

[LightFatality]

Is there any way to remove the quotes/thread tag tabs off the profile, but still keep the mentions?

I read to disable the member profile block, but that took everything off. =/

[DragonByte Tech]

Unfortunately that's not possible at this time, sorry :(


Fillip

[Taringa! CS]

Hi

I've got some questions

1) Quote a post to alert a user

Sends a forum notification to that user

This means that when someone quotes me i'll be get noticed with a notification?

2) Tag an user in a thread to alert them to the thread

Could this be turn off and only use post notifications?

Thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

This means that when someone quotes me i'll be get noticed with a notification?Correct :)

Could this be turn off and only use post notifications?You can turn it off from every forum you create via the admincp :)


Fillip

[LightFatality]

Unfortunately that's not possible at this time, sorry :(


Fillip

Ok, thank you for the speedy reply :)

I was mostly curious since I saw one forum with only mentions (not the other two) so was hoping there was a way.

Fingers crossed for the future :)

[SBlueman]

We've had no reports of this mod slowing down forums :)


Fillip

I guess I am the first report. It pretty much crippled my site for a day when I had it installed. The issues went away when I disabled the modification. It's too bad, this modification had some real potential on my site....

[LightFatality]

Hm, is there any way to disable quote mentions? I realize we are stuck with having the tab on the profile but we don't want notifications just because we've been quoted. =/

I looked in the settings as well as around in forums (categories and direct forums) and I haven't seen anything relating to this modification at all in there.

Running 4.1.2

[DragonByte Tech]

Uncheck them from every forum in AUT's forum manager :)


Fillip

[LightFatality]

From what I have read that is only available in pro, correct? Otherwise I don't see any forum manager anywhere short of the default which doesn't reference aut at all.

Little uncertain though since it mentions lite with the category one.

I've looked in general settings for VB and found the gen settings for this mod there, but nowhere else.

[DragonByte Tech]

/admincp/usertag.php?do=forum

It's linked in the sidebar :)


Fillip

[LightFatality]

Ok, that explains why I cannot see it. I don't have access. :)

Contacting the superadmin now.

Thank you!

[Taringa! CS]

Correct :)

You can turn it off from every forum you create via the admincp :)


Fillip

Great :)
The only problem was the profile block even with thread tagging disabled but i changed a bit of your great hooks and problem solved :D

[Taringa! CS]

I found a bug

I was testing and posted

@dunnoexists

and user @dunno was tagged... and @dunnoexists was posted

edit

Another one

email@domain.com.ar

@domain gets linked

[DragonByte Tech]

Please turn on the ; for mentions, then these issues will not appear :)


Fillip

[Morrus]

We get some apostrophes being turned into hashtags. Not all of them, but enough that users are mentioning it. For example:

tell them where you’d like to see

[DragonByte Tech]

That's already been fixed, please re-download and re-upload the files :)

For the record, it's a Mac-only problem, because Mac apostrophes are Unicode as opposed to ISO like every other OS.

Are the pro files updated as well? Same version number over there.

Yeah they are :)

How do I remove hash tags and User tagging statistics from Appearing under Community link vai Navbar?

[DragonByte Tech]

Uncheck the Community checkbox in the vBulletin Options.

I am looking everywhere under 'DragonByte Tech: Advanced User Tagging - General Options ' and I cannot see the community keyword anywhere nor any setting that says anything about the Community Links :\

[DragonByte Tech]

Oh snap, sorry, this is the only mod of ours that doesn't have the option :( My bad :(

Clear out the dbtech_usertag_navbar template instead :)

Sweet thanks!

[Akyeame Kwame]

This is a great mod. A suggestion for the Pro version, which would make me buy it today would be emails when someone is mentioned or at least a visitor message (as I have another mod that sends emails when a visitor message is posted)

[Wonksta]

I reckon consolidated emailing would be amazing. Or an option where you can specifiy if the user is notified by email each time a mention/quote is made or whether the script consolidates all the emails into one daily or weekly email listing all the links etc I think it would be less spammy that way and honestly believe it will increase activity by notifying members after they forget about the forum even though they just started a welcome thread :P

[wonderfulwat]

Please turn on the ; for mentions, then these issues will not appear :)

To solve the email problem, is it possible for the mod to check if there's a character before the @ sign and if there is, not convert it to the [mention] bb code?

That way, these would work...

@123 @abc @def

but this wouldn't...

a@bcd.com

I agree, would be much better that way, I have not upgraded nor bought the pro version because of having to use the ;

[DragonByte Tech]

The latest version does not force you to use the ; so you're safe to update :)

Doing this is something we'd like to do in a future version.
