I have a mod that sends an email whenever someone posts to a profile. Would it be possible to implement it as the notification hits the profile listing for an email to trigger there as opposed to being triggered from the source of the clicking (which would entail the different content types?)

My thought is that everything comes to the profile page so either, before, right when or after, the notification sends an email that includes the same source info as what shows on the profile. This may be difficult?/challenging?/impossible? to implement but figured the suggestion would be worth a shot.

I test on my forum and I could use tag (@) but I couldn't use [mention] code. When I used [mention] code, it just show up a '@' with non-username. Also I received notify via email but it didn't show up in notification.

http://forum.dienanh.net/showthread.php/4088

The [mention] BBCode is not intended to be used to post a mention.

I believe the syntax is [MENTION=<userid>]<username>[/mention]

In other word, if your userid is 1 and your username is squall leonhart, you'd use [mention=1]squall leonhart[/mention] - obviously sub-optimal vs just using @squall leonhart :)

In short, it's an internally used BBCode that helps the mod be compatible with non-BBCode areas :)

Thanks Fillip, it's working again

I like the mod, but why doesn't it actually alert that I have a notification?

does it work on 4.2.0 ?

I installed this on my forum and uninstalled....now I am getting 300 database errors per day, same error please tell me how to fix it.

I don't know, I can't debug it without more information though :)

Yeah :)

Delete the files that came with this mod.


Fillip

I did delete all files that came with the mod....

You appear to have forgotten to delete usertag.php from your forum root folder :)

Hi Fillip
I have a conflict with an other mod at one place I manage
seems the page nav link with in the profile page under mentions

appears like so
but comes up with a blank page (can not Display web page
after testing , seems this would work.
wanted to know how and where I can change this

(not sure about quotes, no one has enough atm)
regards

Hello, it's possible to move the tabs "mentions" and "quotes" as sub-tabs from "username's Activity"? (along with the "photos", "friends", etc...

(just give me a tip where I can find that and can I move myself)

If possible, I would also like to know what is the template of messages?

21:46 - username1 quoted username2 in post somepost
text text text text

I wanna try to make it more similar to the other activities (with avatar, etc).

Thanks, I'm still testing it, I have installed it a few minutes ago.
This plugin seems pretty cool and useful, should be a native feature!

Sorry, I can't assist with that. We can only guarantee compatibility with vBulletin and other DBTech mods :(

Sounds like vBSEO, though. Disabling member profile rewrites will fix it.

Unfortunately that's not possible, sorry :(


Fillip

K, no problem, thanks for the answer.

[]'s

Looks Good !, I will try it
Tag for now ;)

How do I see the version history of this mod?

If I'm only using mentions and not tags why do tags still show up when disabled on a profile page for a user?

Excellent mod thanks so much.

To quote you in another post: "It doesn't do that?" ;)

No but seriously though, it doesn't do that. It correctly respects the Globally Disabled Features setting in vBulletin Options :)

In case this was fixed in a hotfix not yet available on vBulletin.org, please try re-downloading the Lite version from the above link and re-upload the files.


Fillip

I keep gettting this when I click mention on the notifications??

http://mydomain.com/usertag.php?do=p...f&tab=mentions

Not Found

The requested URL /usertag.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


Anyway to fix this?

It appears as if you have uploaded the files incorrectly. Please drag and drop the contents of the upload folder (use Ctrl+A to select all files) to your public_html folder.

Chris

Thanks that fixed it ;D

Hello, first of all this looks awesome and can't wait to try it XD
2nd sorry if this is a noob question :P

when you say "Upload all files from the "upload" folder to your forums directory." in the readme.txt
do you mean the individual folders like: admincp, dbtech,includes or the CONTENT of them? im confused because by uploading the folders as they are named, doesnt that replace the folder already in public_html?

Please drag and drop the contents of the upload folder (use Ctrl+A to select all files) to your public_html folder. :)

It will not replace the folders it just adds files to those folders.

Chris

i would like translate this plugin in german. can you add then the new xml file for the user and a demo site in german language??

We do not supply translations with our products, as we cannot officially support them. However, we have a Translations forum here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f91/
That forum is our preferred method of showcasing translations as we link to this forum in every release thread, and we have prefix filters that let people see all mods for their chosen languages :)

This is a wonderful mod but unfortunately is not compatible with vBSEO.

Since so many people use vBSEO and do rewrite their member profile pages, is there any chance there will be a workaround provided for vBSEO users?

Without vBSEO activated, the link to a notification is in this format:

and with vBSEO on, it should be like this:

for it to work properly but instead the URL comes out like this:

Is there something we can change in notifications_list.php so that we are able to keep our vBSEO setup AND use this plugin?

It looks like ?tab=quotes needs to be inserted in the URL but not sure where.

Thank you very much.

Update: Got it working with my vBSEO setup.

For my member profiles I am using the following URL rewrite format:

members/[user_name]-[user_id].html

Therefore the notifications links that this plugin generates need to be changed.

In upload/dbtech/usertag/hooks/notifications_list.php, make the following changes:

On line 14, change:
To:
On line 23, change:
To:
On line 32, change:
To:
This is for my specific vBSEO URL rewrite format. If you're using a different format, you'll have to modify the code to be compatible.

Hope this helps someone else out.

I have been using this mod on my forum for a long time. It works great, however of the past couple weeks/months I have noticed a steady increase in the amount of time it takes to load a users profile, or when loading a users own profile through notifications.

I have traced the issue down to being this mod. If I disable the mod, profile speeds go back to normal.

I should point out that the usertag tables in the database are huge. The mod is very popular on my site and has been used extensively. It is not uncommon to have a profile page that shows over 1000 pages of mentions.

Is there any way I can speed profile/notification page loads besides clearing out old mentions?

Could you please re-post this issue over @ our forums here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/forumdisplay.php?f=51 ?

That would be an issue that requires significant time to investigate and fix - time I simply do not have at this moment :(

vBulletin.org posts will get buried, whereas on our forums we will always have a directory of issue reports that we can look back on. Thanks :)


Fillip

Some problem for me :(

Had an issue with this mod, that I was able to fix on my site, but wanted to bring to your attention. The issue also affected Advanced Post Thanks. I am running the latest version of both, and vb 4.2.0.

The problem is in the profile tabs. Whenever clicking on any of the pages to view previous mentions/quotes/thanks an error would be received by the browser "Too Many Redirects"

I narrowed the issue down to being the "perpage=20" part of the link. If that part is removed, the error doesn't happen.

I fixed it by editing the php files to remove all instances of "&amp;perpage=$perpage" from the class_profileblock.php file.

Hi DBTech, I installed the plugin as a trial, but found when a tagged post had been soft-deleted, the user could still see the mention/tag in their "notifications" tab, and also on their profile. When the thread was moved to a hidden forum, the mention/tag disappeared from their view (from their profile, and from their notifications drop-down). Is there a way to make if the post is soft-deleted, it too hides the mention/tag?

(System is vBulletin 4.1.x)

EDIT: Submitted a ticket on your forum DBTech.

Well, I want to disable the statistics next to username, it does not display properly.

There have any options or trick to do that?

Thanks.

Found answer on forum anyway.

For the sake of posterity: It's the "Manual Postbit Deployment" setting - turning it off without performing manual edits will effectively disable the stats :)


Fillip

Very useful post -- thanks. Found the solution for those of us with standard member profile URLs posted on DBTech's ecellent site: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f51/p...187/#post46344 On edit: actually that DBTech htaccess change didn't work for me. I had to set VBSEO to not rewrite my member profiles and that has worked.

Problem is, I've not been able to come up with a way to do that that doesn't also break for non-vBSEO users :(


Fillip

Just a thought, what about an option in the settings menu to check if vbseo is installed, if it is write a URL in one way, if not the regular way.

The problem is the "one way" for vBSEO. I cannot figure out how to get URLs to specific tabs to work in vBSEO.

Fillip

Any way to get the landing tab on the profile to be ?tab=mentions instead of hashMentions?

Doesn't work otherwise on mine by the looks of it.
