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.

If I click on Mentions -> "http://myurl.com/usertag.php?do=profilenotif&tab=mentions"
and shows doesnt exist...


As far as I know the correct url is "http://myurl.com/member.php?u=2&tab=mentions"

How do I fix the Url inside the Mentions button? So that it will be the correct one?

If you're receiving a 404 error, this means the mod isn't uploaded correctly.

Please drag and drop the full contents of the upload folder to your forum folder.

I have this same issue, but I am not using VBSEO. Just regular 4.2.1 - any thoughts?

The vbNotif URL points to:
http://mysite.com/vbnotifs.php?do=cl...g_mentioncount

But when users click it, it just goes to:
http://mysite.com/member.php?1-MyUser&tab=

Thank you!

Try the following that came from vBSEO support:

In vbseo.php file change this line:

PHP Code:

array(VBSEO_USERID_URI, 'action', 'userid', 'username', 'tab', 'page', 'pp', 'vmid'), 


to:

PHP Code:

array(VBSEO_USERID_URI, 'action', 'userid', 'username', 'page', 'pp', 'vmid'), 


For the record: This is a vBSEO bug/issue, the URLs in AUT & vBNotifs are 100% correct out of the box.

Sorry if I'm spreading this across two different threads, just thought it would make more sense to post here.

Seems like the plugin works with 2 errors (possibly 3). I have all the content uploaded to the forum, but it's doing what some have described here. The user will receive a notification saying they have a new mention, but clicking it just simply gives them a blank page with the url http://www.steamgamers.com/forum/use...f&tab=mentions. I tried editing the vbseo file like you said, didn't seem to do anything.

Also I put it so it would require a semicolon at the end, but it's just ignoring that option or something. People use @name and that works, but @name; will not work with the option set to 'Yes' in settings.

Also it keeps randomly unparsing the mention code like I stated in the other thread, then reparsing it, and so on. Not entirely sure what is going on with it.

I implemented the vbseo fix mentioned above which resolved the errors when clicking on notifications. However, I now get the blank page that channelfuse mentions above. The mod is otherwise functioning perfectly. I'm on 4.2.1.

When I enter to forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=tags&t=86885 I get:
MySQL Error : Unknown column 'phrasegroup_dbtech_usertag' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

Please ensure display_errors is set to on in php.ini so that we can see an actual error message.

Please reinstall the mod, something broke during import or broke since then (unrelated to our mod, as it's all vBulletin code handling that).

Hey,

I have an issue, I installed everything as described.

When I tag someone like @DragonByte Tech, the tagged part simply disappears in the message I post, writing "@DragonByte Tech hi" results in just "hi", there are no errors displayed.

[DragonByte Tech]

This could be an issue with the BBCode generation. Can you please go into the BB Code Manager and show me a screenshot of the settings for the MENTION BBCode?
