XF 1.2 Tagging

[Ark Royal]

Tagging doesn't seem to be working on my forum.
I have a test user that has created a tag to me I never got an alert.
I have also tagged several members and they never got an alert either.
Is there a setting I need to set to turn it on?

@Ark Royal

Does this show up when you type ?

 

[Ark Royal]

yes it does

 

[Digital Doctor]

What about your Alert Preferences ?

 

[Ark Royal]

Yep checked that as well. Its a bit odd?

 

[Jeremy]

How many people are they permitted to tag? Its a user group option and is most likely set to 0 if alerts aren't being set.

How many people are they permitted to tag?

Where/how do I find that out?

 

[Jeremy]

Admin -> Users -> User group Permissions -> Edit the group you want

Its the Maximum tag alerts per message permission.

 

[Ark Royal]

That was it, all good now.
Many Thanks Jeremy

What's the default ?

 

[Ark Royal]

The default is set zero

 

[Digital Doctor]

Maybe there should be some check ... if someone isn't allowed to Tag (Maximum tag alerts per message = 0) ... then why show them the Tag popup ?

or if you Tag someone ... as the message is being saved .... you can alert the Tagger an alert is not being send because the Tagger doesn't have this permission.

The default is 5. You were an import, correct? On an import, any groups associated and built because of the import receives 0.

The tag pop up is useful as it converts to the USER bbcode.

 

[Ark Royal]

Indeed I was an import.

Maybe a warning in the import instructions would be useful.

The popup is deceptive because people think it is sending a message - when it isn't.
That's not useful. IMO.
