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.

Note :
this product still not work good with non english username
for example:
arabic usernames with 2 words and space between them , it will tagg the first word and not the whole name so it will tag another person

hope this fix on the next update , i purchased the full script but still this issue exist !

[DragonByte Tech]

This is already a known issue for some of our users

Non-ISO characters may not be mentionable via the AJAX Quick Reply due to the inherent limitation of AJAX technology.

The multiple word issue, along with the accidental email mistakes (user called Gmail.com being tagged when someone writes qwerty@gmail.com etc) will be correctable by the Admin in the next update when we plan to optionally re-introduce the ; delimiter

The customer was made aware of this in his support thread.

I'm having the same problem... VB 4.1.1

While we're unable to confirm this issue, it's true that due to the vast number of possibilities existing in each of your respective cases, it's extremely difficult to debug it without any information other than your vB version.

That being said, we are currently working on a new version which may have a fix for your problems

AUT v1.2.3 has been released.

This version offers only two changes:

• It is now possible to Mention people in Blogs.
• Compatibility with the upcoming Postbit Tabs mod has been added.

The issues that stem from the lack of ; delimiter (email accounts being mentioned, incorrect user being selected some of the time, etc.) are not fixed in this version.
Those issues requires a more extensive update to fix.

Fillip.... do you have any info regards this upcoming mod? I checked your board but saw no info.

[DragonByte Tech]

Advanced User Tagging v1.2.4

• Fixed a potential security risk with the Mentions display in profiles.
• Fixed the rare instance where someone would receive eval() errors because of the PHP code not being linked to files in the file system.

The user mentions is broken after the upgrade to 1.2.4

I get this for the mention of one of my user
http://www.site.com/member.php?u=%A31

Instead of this, which is the correct username for the user being mentioned.
http://www.site.com/member.php?u=91

[DragonByte Tech]

Advanced User Tagging v1.2.5

• Fixed a problem with mentions not appearing correctly in posts or profiles.

Fillip

[Juggernaut]

The mention now points to the correct user, but it still appears like this on the postbit.

@£2
instead of @username
