Unmaintained User Mentions Improvements by Xon 1.7.0

Improvements to XenForo's user mentions system. This addon was a private addon 2 weeks before public release.

This addon is not designed to deal with large group memberships. This feature may be added in the future.

Features:

• Taggable user groups.
  • Customizable icon per group (small + large).
  • Membership can be viewed on the front-end.
  • User group may be private, at which point only members can tag or view that group.
  • Permission to tag taggable groups.
  • Admin privilege to view all taggable groups.
• User group tagging supports the following:
  • User profile posts/comments.
  • Posts/Threads.
  • Reports (if Report Improvements are installed).
  • Other types supporting XenForo's user tagging will automatically support tagging user groups, but the front-end UI for auto-completing user groups will not work.
• Opt-in, send an email to the user who is mentioned/quoted:
  • global option to enable/disable.
  • permission to receive tagged emails.
  • configurable default for users on account creation.
  • Global option to include a snippet or all text
• Editor integration. Copying & pasting a user group tag link is transformed into @usergroup
  • Redactor support
  • TinyMCE Quattro and its wysiwyg bbcodes support.
• User mentions can be disabled per forum per user group

See my add-on Username Restrictions to prevent users signing up using a usergroup name.

New Permissions

• Enable User Mentions
• Receive Mention Alert Emails
• Receive Quoted Alert Emails
• Tag User Group
• View Private Groups
