Title: [Released] @mentions for SMF
Post by: Dragooon on March 27, 2014, 10:48:40 AM
The mod is available on the mod site (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3860)!

Hello! First of all, I wasn't sure where to post a WIP Paid mod topic so I'm posting it here, pardon me if I got it wrong. The mod allows allows any member to grab the attention of another member by doing a Facebook style mention of them using the "@" symbol. For example, @Dragooon with automatically notify Dragooon that he has been mentioned in a specific post by whoever mentioned Dragooon.

Features:

Price: Free

I've attached a few screenshots to prove I'm not BSing anyone :P, I plan on releasing it in a couple of weeks or so. Any feedback and suggestions are appreciated!

Could you make it available for the lowly SMF 1 users? I'd pay for it, just as long as it doesn't add much queries.

Sorry, but nope. It doesn't add any queries except one on page load for fetching unread mentions. But I won't be supporting SMF 1.x

Too bad, I'd pay more if it could be back-ported

To be honest, I have no interest in supporting SMF 1.x regardless of how much someone is paying. SMF 2.0 is old enough as is, you really should upgrade.

I prefer to buy it then backport it, shouldn't be difficult to do.

Just a thought. Will it have username "auto suggest"... like when you are filling in the "To:" box for a new PM.

When I get a little time to finish it, maybe a couple of weeks or so. I'm in middle of end term project so that's taking most of my existing time.

I've been testing this mod and work great, the only thing that is not workig for me is the Username list when I start to write some name, so I can't really know if that username exist. But all the idea and the functionality is really what I need in my forum, so yeah, I hope they approve it soon.

Wait, what? How did you get the mod?
Title: Re: [WIP] @mentions for SMF
Post by: Gluz on April 30, 2014, 06:46:43 PM
Github, I'm always looking in the smf developers and contributors projects in hope to learn something, as I've been working in a "mod"(very site specific, made by a friend, now we need to make it better).

3 days ago I noticed that you create a new repo and just downloaded a zip to test in my test site that I roll back from a backup after I test(or modify) some mod.

Tapatalk uses its own set of templates *AND* Sources. For this reason, most MODs will not work via Tapatalk, really...

Pretty much what margarett said, I might be able to get a quick hack working. Will take a look later.
