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

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 :(


Fillip

Thank you!

We are on vb4... so we should be good.

mod doesn't work for me, we do mentions (they link in the post) but dont alert the user or add to any of it's statistics
Powered by vBulletin® Version 4.1.11

Then my guess is your installation is corrupt. Please try to reinstall the mod.

Fillip

Do you see the permissions option for this mod in the usergroup or users pages per chance?

Don't suppose you can see the permissions for this mod In usergroup or users pages of admincp?

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.

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

Fillip

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 :)


Fillip

When i tag someone, it doesnt show in shoutbox

That was the problem. Thanks for the quick response Fillip. All installed and running perfect and will likely get the pro version soon.

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.

Mentions aren't working for me

Okay :)

It's sadly impossible to assist you without any more details, though.


Fillip

It's not working me.
I can not find "DragonByte Tech: Advanced User Tagging Permissions" in user permission.
What's wrong?

My vBulletin Ver is: 4.1.11

Thanks

Ah, excellent - I have had a similair problem for a couple weeks now, Unfortuntly the guys at dragon byte cannot connect to my host to investigate (security reasons).

Does any this thread ring a bell?

http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f51/m...-working-6828/

If it is the same then Hopefully you can provide access for the guys to investigate and resolve.

Pretty much what vr4 said, find out if that's the same issue and if so, we'll need FTP and AdminCP access :)


Fillip

Will the option to allow members to disable / re-enable ever be implemented?

That is a feature of the Pro version :)


Fillip

I have just installed this and tested it by tagging myself in a thread but after the thread has been posted it does not show in my postbit
Also how do i know when i have been tagged/mentioned ?

Many thanks

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.

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?

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.

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

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 :)

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 :)

Could you please PM me with an FTP account as well as an AdminCP account? If so, I'll hopefully be able to resolve this :)


Fillip

PM sent.

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 :)


Fillip

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.
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.

I did not change any settings at all.

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

I did not enter any AdminCP menu other than the Usergroup Manager for a random usergroup to check for the UG permissions, before I realised those are Pro only.

No, I don't have any clue how that happened O.o

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.

My FTP connection from IP address 90.213.21.183 closed to your server at [02:11:55] GMT.

I'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


Fillip

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...

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/vbeco...o&productid=20


Fillip

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*

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

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.
