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 :)

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 :)

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

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

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.
