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.
Mentions UI 3.2
Mentions UI 3.1
Mentions UI 2.0
@Phil, you need to type first name only if it didn't comes up then there is no need to enter lastname, @firstname lastname and you press enter without ui comming and selecting may result into that because (firstname) can be its username results (Full Name) Last Name
Okay ... the behavior is still there. Thought it was gone. If I am making a comment, using "@fistname lastname", and the user is NOT on my friends list, the last name IS repeated. the intial first and last name are highlightes, and the last name is appended in regular text like the rest of the comment. Just happned 3 minutes ago to me.
@~Z~ Man ... I uninstalled both components, re-installed, and then it seemed to clear it. Am installing 2.5 anyway, thanks for checking into it. I see you were on the system checking it. Thanks for that, too. Please confirm if you get an e-mail notification when I respond to your post on the system. There seems to be issues with e-mail notifications, in general, going out. I have an updated e-mail notification from softlab24 that defaults notification setting to on, instead of off, so unless you manually disabled the notifications in user settings, you -should- get the e-mail. Just need a verification, please.
Philip,
please install 2.5, then try to reproduce that double lastname issue.
amazing update. after typing @ sign selections of users will appear without typing their name. superb!
I'll try to figure out exactly what's causing it. That occurred within an hour of me activating it and I just deactivated it. Obviously it IS doing it, as the pictures show it, but I can't figure out why.
It works fine for me no extra name added at the end.
Okay... getting the following behavior of the user's last name being added again after the tag, not sure which of the two involved components is the culprit... using both mentionsUI and mentions notification:
Regards,
VERY nice! Working well, so far, in combination with "mentions notifications"!
