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*.

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.

That's due to the HTML/CSS bug in Abe's Post Thanks hack. We can't do anything about that unfortunately :(

I've not been able to replicate that on any testing environment, nor has anyone on our site reported it before.

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!

Glad it worked out :)


Fillip

Would the bbcodes still be an issue with Pro?

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


Fillip

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.

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.

I don't, sorry.

There is a setting, in User Tagging's "Forum Manager" in the AdminCP.


Fillip

^^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?

What does vBShout have to do with anything?

Fillip

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?

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

Fillip

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

Yes.
That's correct :)
Also correct :)


Fillip

hi is anyone successfully using this on 4.1.4 ?

DBTech is :)


Fillip

awesome i shall install now :)

great hack, gets 5 stars and nominated by me

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?

How to disable the quote notification?

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?

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.:(

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.

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.

You are definitely within your rights. I do agree. :D

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. :)

This is incorrect, it has never been a feature of the Lite version to be able to turn off notifications.


Fillip

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?

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 :)

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.


Fillip

I'll just leave this alone.

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

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

very cool! Istalled!

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?

Unfortunately we do not have time to undergo such a task, plus the fact that the # is already taken up by a feature in this modification :)


Fillip

i ment as a paid job of course.

let me know if you do get some free time to work on this some time in the near future.
