Tags not alerting

[Mike Edge]

Just upgraded to 1.2.1 and tags are not alerting when your tagged now.

 

[Paul B]

It should be 5.

Mike has just spotted a bug which will be fixed for the next release.

I have the same problem, even though the users permission is set to 5...

Can someone help me please?

 

[Jeremy]

Have you run the permissions analyzer to determine if it is truly set to 5?

Yes I did. It shows me 5.

 

[Jeremy]

Did you perform the test using your account or an account of someone who's tags you don't receive?

Yes. I logged in as the user I mentioned... nothing happens. If I tag the admin and check on that, it works.

The funny thing is, if I use the analyzer, it shows me a 0 on the admin and 5 on the registered user. But in the real world, it shows vice versa.. like wtf?

 

[Jeremy]

So when the admin tags the user, nothing happens. But when the user tags the administrator, the administrator receives the alert?

Exactly.

What user groups is the administrator in? Primary / Secondary?

What user groups is the administrator in? Primary / Secondary?

Primary... administrative.

Users are primary registered.

 

[Jeremy]

And under the administrative group, what is the number of tags that they are allowed to send?

It's not inverted. The permission refers to the user doing the tagging. As you said that the admin can't tag users and the permission shows up as 0, that's exactly why it's happening -- they can't alert any one.

In general, you want admins to be in the registered group as well as the admin group. (I suspect you did an import, which maintains your existing group setup.)
