Not working on my board with phpBB3.2.1 - Resolved :)

by neeraj.sinha » Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:44 am

I installed this extension and it is enabled, however, nothing happens when I type "@" in a post. The user doesn't gets tagged even if I manually complete his username. What have I done wrong?

Pls check the attached screen-grabs.

Did you set the permissions correctly?

Going through other support threads, I even checked Roles > Forum Permissions for Standard Access (given to Registered Users), still can't see the mention setting there.

Ok, so the Mention button is visible while posting, but an error message appears stating "You cannot use certain BBCodes: [mention]."

Must have something to do with the permissions, but I've tried to find it out everywhere without any luck. Any help will be appreciated please.

Finally, I managed to resolve it. For benefit of others. Here's what you need to do:

1. Upload the extentions to relevant directory (/ext)
2. ACP >> Customize >> Simple Mentions >> Enable
3. ACP >> Permissions >> Global Permissions >> Group Permissions >> Registered Users >> User Permissions >> Roles >> Mics >> Can use the mention System = Yes
OR
3. ACP >> Permissions >> Permission Roles >> User Roles >> Standard Features >> Edit >> User permissions >> Mics >> Can use the mention System = Yes

@Paul: It would be great if you can add the above instructions on the mod installation instructions so that no one has to scourge through various threads here and there to find it out. With various mention of roles, I was confused and thought it to be ACP >> Permissions >> Permission Roles >> Forum Roles

Nice extension Paul! :)

The mentioned person doesn't even gets a notification in the notification panel? That's strange!

Of course the email notification is something that the user has to set under UCP > Board Preferences > Edit Notification options > Someone mentioned me > mail has to be ticked.

This is what I discovered regarding the simple mentions ext:

If by the time you're creating a post/topic and mention some user(s), they will get notification that they have been mentioned in some topic/post. But, if you create a topic/post, submit it and then go back, edit it, mention some users and re-submit it, the users you mentioned after editing post/topic won't be notified!

What could be the solution to the problem?
