Advanced @User Tagging Mod: What is it?

DragonByte Technologies is proud to present [DBTech] Advanced @User Tagging.
This version introduces several major new features that users have requested, and some others we were unable to fit in v1.0.

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.

There does appear to be a small bug in this - it doesn't work if a user has a underscore in his/her username.

Have you tried turning on the ; delimiter requirement?

Should that be necessary? This will make the Mod completely unused, if users have to remember to add semicolon after, they simply won't do so.

It works fine for users with spaces and dashes and dots in their username, but not underscores. This makes it look alot more like a oversight rather than a settings issue.

It will help me track down exactly what's causing it, though.

That being said, not using semicolons produces other issues like tagging email addresses and sometimes tagging the wrong username if a shorter version of the same one exists.

For instance, a member called gmail will get mentioned if herpderp@gmail.com is used in a post.

Also, a member called Mel will get mentioned if someone is trying to use @Melody in a post.

These issues are impossible to overcome without using the semicolon.

If you wonder what makes the semicolon special; that character is the only one that cannot exist in a username, because vBulletin itself uses it as a separator.

I haven't had any problems with email addresses winding up tagged, since none of those has matched a username yet. Same thing with mistaken username tags, hasn't happened. I am NOT going to be using the ; delimiter.

Whatever code that recognizes spaces, dashes and dots also needs to recognize underscores, is all.

And it's only a minor problem, but one I figured you would be interested in knowing about.

This mod is awesome.

have a quick question about this, is there a way to stop the "Quote Alerts" to yourself if you quote somebody?

That is not related to the problem this has. This Mod does not work at all if the username has a underscore in it. This is a oversight on your part. Please fix it.

Unfortunately not, as that would involve stripping quote tags first, which may have undesired effects in some cases
