READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE ENABLE
This component allow users to mention other friends into the comments (only). Once the comment is submitted people can view mentioned user profile also.
This is just a UI and doesn't send any notification to mentioned user, for that purpose you can use mentioned users component on top of this : https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/component/view/4864/mention-notifications
NOTE
During mention it doesn't support spaces example @Some User
it will not return anything but @Some
will return friends with such a name. It will only show a friends not all users.

any info?
-
This is, when I search the user
-
-
this is the user, as you see, the name is definitely existing
-
sometimes it shows no match, even if the user exists
Typing @ shows a list of users, but it goes away as soon as you start typing a name. Shouldn't it search through the list as you type a name? Also, once selected you can't delete it.
installed and does not appear to be working with greenbygreen, nothing happens when typing @and user name or full name
@~Z~ Man ... yup. For me, making friends with it is gone. Just a minute ago it does this again. If it does it to ME, it is going to do it to users, and users are too picky for me to provide something in this state. The better option, in my opinion, is to have just made it to change the color of the font in "@user mention" in order to draw attention separate from the comment text color, and for the user to get a notification, friend or not. The link to the profile isn't even important, IMO. The purpose is just for the user to be notified of the comment, and to distinguish to other users who the comment was actually "to". I'm going to have to stop using this altogether and go back to "@user mention"... just wishing something as simple as a color change could be applied.
Honestly, I still can't really make friends with the current usability.
Let's say Honey Bunny has 2 girlfriends: Susanne Walker and Susanne Winter
and she's going to select Susanne Winter
Okay, so she did and got in response ...
Irritation: ... did she select the right Susanne?
Honey tries to confirm ... selecting Susanne Winter again:
But no way. Pressing backspace gives
Uncaught TypeError: arr is null tribute.js:1307:9
from mention_users_ui_search(text, users => cb(users));
Usernames MUST be unique in Ossn. Okay, but that also implies that as the number of members increases, the chances of finding a user name that allows an association with the correct name become smaller and smaller. It is all the more important that after selecting the friend, his / her real name is displayed and not just any username.
Yea... ok... I do that for people not on the friends list to draw attention to their name if commenting to them on something they previously commented. Without a "reply" to a comment feature, threaded, it makes for easier following of flow, but if I can't do it, I can't do it, I guess. Thanks.
