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.

Turning that off is a Pro-only feature

Hi Fillip,

I really like this mod and my members give it a thumbs up. I am going to go Pro with it but I am getting reports of it not working right on just some users. I can not figured out what is going on and hoping you may have an answer.

These are msgs I get from members:

My notifications aren't showing up (just started today) It still alerts me at the top right corner, when a thread I've commented on gets quoted, but when I click, it takes me to a blank page. Anyone else having this problem?

I've had a similar issue for a while, it notifies me when I'm quoted, I click on it and go to my personal page, I click quotes and I get a blank page, if I want to find quotes I have to search for it.

The only recent change I made was upgrading to 4.1.12 patch 1 three days ago. This mod is working fine for most members... but a few are reporting this problem.

Thanks Fillip.

Hmmmm... Do you have vB Optimise installed? If so, you could try flushing the cache.

If not, could you get them to paste you the URL that's giving them the blank page?

If they give you "yourdomain.com/profile.php?herp=derp" then check your public_html folder for any error_log files. Hopefully they contain some hints as to what happened

How do you remove the "thread tags", "mentions" and "quotes" tabs from a users profile page?

Can you check the column dbtech_usertag_mentioncount in the user table for someone who should have received a notification?

Doing so will break the plugin, as the notifications will be permanently stuck "on".
