New Posting Features - [DBTech] Advanced User Tagging v3 (vB4)

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.

Are you using a custom product manager? If so, please try disabling it.

I don't have 4.1.11 installed anywhere, please tell me the contents of that line.

I have since turned this off and we can't get rid of the notifications?

Are you running vBSEO? If so, you need to either disable profile rewrites or use our vBNotifications product, since I was unable to make notifications that directly link to a profile tab compatible with vBSEO.

UPDATE user SET dbtech_usertag_quotecount = 0

is the query to run, remember to add your table prefix.

Could you please post the exact username that you're unable to @mention? I tried with "Test.test" and that worked fine for me

I found the problem... I wasn't paying attention close enough.. His name is Sgt. K and I was missing the space between the . and K.... works perfect!

Thanks for the hard work!

Hello, currently implementing this on my forum's mobile style, and have a pretty simple question. Currently, for PMs, we have an icon at the top that is yellow when the user has new PMs (in place of a notifications drop down), exact code as follows:

     <vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo[pmunread]>0">

<a id="newpm" href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">
<img border="0" src="new_pm.gif"></a>

     <vb:else />

<a href="private.php?">
<img border="0" src="pm.png"></a>

     </vb:if>

Basically, I'm wondering if Tagging (and now Quoting) has a variable that will function in the same way as "$vbulletin->userinfo[pmunread]>0" in the code above? I want to have a "tag" button next to the PM button, that will function in the same way (yellow when new tags), as my users absolutely love user tagging and miss it a lot on my mobile style! Currently there is a button that goes to the tags page, but obviously, they just have to check back for new tags rather than getting an alert.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Any fix for the vBseo issue?

dbtech_usertag_mentioncount, _tagcount, _quotecount I believe are the names You can look for them in the user table to verify

Not until v3 goes out of Pro-only Open Beta, no.

I have found someone to make this modification to work on Darthos Lightweight style. He is charging $50 and you can see and test the product out before sending payment.

If anybody is willing to split this with me for their forum, shoot me a PM

In 4.1.11, that line is

$vbulletin->pluginlist = array_merge($vbulletin->pluginlist, $vbulletin->pluginlistadmin);

Which comes under the heading of

// enable any hooks -- this is mainly necessary for importing templates (template_safe_functions hook)

We're not using a custom product manager, just the standard one in vBulletin. We do have a heck of a lot of addons, though we've never had any compatibility issues before. I should note also that despite that error, the addon does appear to have installed correctly.

Got the advanced user tagging mod to work with Farthos lightweight style! Score!!!!!
