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'm having problems with people with short user names, We have 2 admins with 3 letter user names, and they never get picked up by mentions. I know the lower limit for user names is 5 is that the problem or is it a min length in vBA@UT1.2.1?
I'm not sure, it could very well be that.

In a future version we plan to re-introduce the ; delimiter which will fix any issues like these - it's just impossible to make this an exact science unfortunately

I was getting the same error, where some users would see the notification but after clicking on it seeing nothing on their profile page. This was not a permissions issue, they had permission to access the posts where the mentions were.

So I downloaded and installed the updated product (and uploaded all the new files). When I enable the product, I get a hundred errors all over the page... even sometimes JUST a page of errors, site doesn't work.

I have disabled this, but I really love the product. What happened with the updated file to cause all those errors?

I don't have a vB 4.0.8 installation to test on at this point in time so it's hard to tell. I will test it on that version hopefully in not too long

Maybe my install fudged up a lil bit. I looked at the BB code and in the "replacement" part all i see is @%1; and that translates to @ is that right?

The correct "Replacement" is @{param};, try that and see if that works

Okay here at my BBcode settings for it:

Code:
Title: Mention 

BB Code Tag Name: Mention

Replacement: @{param};

Example: [mention]Username[/mention]	 

Description: Mention an user to alert him or her to this post!

Use {option}: No

Button Image (Optional): dbtech/usertag/images/mention.png
			 
Remove Tag If Empty: Yes	 

Disable BB Code Within This BBcode: Yes

Disable Smilies Within This BB Code: Yes

Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code: Yes

Disable Automatic Link Parsing Within This BB Code: Yes
Is that all right?
