Am just wondering, is there a way to edit the email colours that are sent within the templates etc?
And thank you for the great add-on!

You can access the emails templates via appearances -> templates -> email. Not sure where it pulls it's style properties from. Probably the default style?

This add-on uses existing email css, so it should pickup whatever you have set for XenForo. Either manually or as an add-on.

Brilliant, thank you.

Oddd.. When a user mentions another user, no notifications are being sent/trigger. No emails, nor in-system notification system. Any ideas?

 

[Xon]

This add-on has an "[UMI] Enable user mentions" permission which is by-default granted to the registered user group. Make sure it is enabled for a user via the analyse permissions function.

Hi @Xon
I get a lot of errors with this enabled and the site is unusable;

Any idea what would trigger this please? Sorry to trouble you.

Make sure you have uploaded all files, and that they are readable by whatever user php runs as.

Going forward I will not support add-on installs which are not done by a tool such as "Add-on install & upgrade" add-on. Once there is an XF2 version out, I will be updating the description and adding posts that manual add-on installs are explicitly not supported unless by prior arrangement.

Yes, all there and readable. This has been attempted several times over a few days. Will try again and see what is going on. An add-on conflict possibly?
Thank you for your time and reply.

 

[Xon]

Tried restarting php-fpm or apache? (or whatever is running php), you may have broken opcache settings.

This is ultimately going to be a server issue, nothing todo with XenForo or this add-on. The error messages are php failing to load the add-on files.

In theory you could have a sufficiently brain damaged add-on which has broken the XenForo class loader, so try disabling all other add-ons and see if the issue still occurs.

Good afternoon @Xon , is this addon a X2.x build in feature ?? I need to know if we could get email alerts when somebody is mentioned in a post.

This is the XF1 version; per the FAQ link; this is the XF2 version

Email alerts on mentions is done in both the XF1 and XF2 versions of this add-on

o/ I have extreme trouble pinging people with spaces and special characters in their names, as the little pop-up to click their name doesn't appear. Will this help with that?

 

[Xon]

Nope. This is a limitation of XF's user-name auto-complete being kinda horrible to use

Yeah.. it really sucks.. any way for an addon to fix this (perhaps an addition to this reosurce?)
