Advanced @User Tagging: What is it?

DragonByte Technologies is proud to present [DBTech] Advanced @User Tagging.

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.

I can't help when all I have to go by is "I'm having a problem." or "This doesn't work for me!"

The general install instructions: Drag and drop the contents of the "upload" folder to the folder your forum files reside in


Fillip
i did already post this but i'll post it again as perhaps you overlooked it...

i'm having problems i uploaded the 'upload' folder to httpdocs

then
ControlPanel Home > Plugins andProducts > Manage Products > Add/Import Product
Choose file > Product-dbtech_usertag.xml

/var/www/vhosts/dreadsuk.com/httpdocs/dbtech/usertag/includes/class_install.php appears to be missing!

Its now installed but a few issues..

When user gets a mention notification, and user clicks
Notifications > New Mentions
it goes to 404 error

/usertag.php?do=statistics



Its also not clearing the mentions notifications counter.

Have 404 errors everywhere now

You do not need to upload some files manually to locations. Just upload the contents of the "UPLOAD" folder to your "htdocs/forum" destination. It will automatically overwrite the older files and replace them.

On the forum, you have to tag the users with their exact name being case-sensitive. @Abc and then afterwards @Abc should take you to their profile.

Check this post for instance, that's my board.

i did that but it didn't work. Moving folders manually did.

Just putting the uploads folder to htdocs didn't put the right files in the right places hence it looking like the file was missing when it was actually in the folder, just in the wrong place.

Thats not the issue. the actually taggin works fine in terms of the tag itself. user is notified, its the notification link in notifications that isn't working

OK, i fixed it. The issue for anyone else that has a similar problem is that the file usertag.php stayed in the folder 'uploads' when it needed to be moved out of that folder and place in the root folder, same as forum.php

I'll mark as installed now and offer help anywhere i can with anyone else struggling.

Still pretty new to vb, but starting to get the hang of it.

Massive thanks to all the contributions from everyone and i hope to 'pass it on'
