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.

Should be a "Disable Features" in the options.. just check quotes

I've been unable to replicate any such issues - users only get notifications when they are quoted, not when they quote someone else.

I'm sorry if this is dumb, but I'm sure I made a mistake somewhere... when I click on the notification that I have a new mention, it gives me a 404 error... what did I screw up?

Thanks in advance!!!

You can disable the "Show Thread: Display Tag List" plugin

Thanks for the reply - I did upload all of the upload folder to my forum root directory as the instructions indicated... BUT clearly I did something wrong because I don't even see the section to adjust settings in the left sidebar of admincp.

I'm not USUALLY this daft

*********FIXED I think************
I now have the settings in admincp. it was a permissions issue so total user error.

I still have a blank page when I go to check mentions... so... I'm sure something else is wrong. I'll look through here to see if the answer already exists.

Hi to all..

I just installed it but If I choose from navbar men? the statistic appear error 404. I copied all files. I checked and the file statistics.php is present.

Any idea?


How to solve it now!?!?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:
I uninstalled the plug-in and now when i try to see my profile I see a database error:

MySQL Error   : Table 'forum.vb2dbtech_usertag_mention' doesn't exist
Error Number  : 1146

EDIT2:
I installed again the product - disabled and uninstalled. Now all worked fine. I never put it again..

[DragonByte Tech]

The original issue could have been solved by uploading the contents of the upload folder to your forum folder as per the readme
