There's a ticket somewhere for improvements to the Find user thing to use AJAX, which I was planning on doing. It could be used for this, too.jsebean wrote:If there is a wide match you could use the already existing find user system that's already used in PMs and the ACP.
Facebook doesn't do it like that, it doesn't even have @ anymore.jsebean wrote:I would like to see it implemented with javascript regarding to how Facebook does it. You @ mention someone and then it shows a list of users. With that said, now people would have to think how to implement this in CKEditor if they use it, or what ever rich text editor they use, and what to do if a plain text editor was used (maybe the feature shouldn't work at all if plain text was used?) How is it going to be processed?
Something like "Mentions" perhaps?Erik Frèrejean wrote:There should be some sort of "notification" box which is used for these kind of notifications. I don't think that the end user should be able to chose, just add a new special box for these kind of notifications.
The biggest advantage of making it more generic (i.e. notifications) is that you can utilise it if phpBB down the road needs to sent other notifications and MOD authors can use it as well to send out notifications.AliasM2K wrote:Something like "Mentions" perhaps?Erik Frèrejean wrote:There should be some sort of "notification" box which is used for these kind of notifications.

Code: Select all
[@user name], you should try this option : blabla or ask [@user2] about it
[@1] [link_to_profile]
[@2] [link_to_profile2]
[url=http://path_to_profile]user name[/url], you should try this option : blabla or ask [url=http://path_to_profile2]user2[/url] about it
It's still there, at least for me:callumacrae wrote:Facebook doesn't do it like that, it doesn't even have @ anymore.

I think you should take that in mind while implementing this feature, don't force the user to receive the PM about this in the inbox, allow him to choose the folder to receive this.
