User Mentions Improvements by Xon 1.7.0

[Xon]

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.

For example; I haven't implemented Resource manager support. So there isn't any auto-complete support when writing an update or resource overview. But if you tag a group (@MyGroup) it'll do the right thing.

@Xon have you finished Fallout 4 yet?

I actually haven't (keep getting side tracked) , but I've taken on a number of paid add-ons which require a fair chunk of work to be done on them.

I would appreciate when you find time in between two jobs, that would make my life complete... If I can bribe you with money, let me know.

Well closer to 3 jobs. Helping run a forum and doing sysadmin for another forum take up a chunk of time!

Question @Xon:

"User group may be private, at which point only members can tag or view that group."

What is meant by "view" here? Is there someplace where one should be able to view a list of the users that are part of the usergroup, on the front end? I can't seem to find that...

 

[Floyd R Turbo]

Also I wanted to "mention" (get it) that on the ACP Options page, the addon option title is "User Tagging Improvements" vs "User Mentions Improvements"...not that I didn't figure it out.

I just figured it out - after you mention/tag a group, you can click the link and you get an overlay with the group members.

I was hoping to see a link somewhere, like maybe on the Members tab, where you could see the list of the group members. Is that possible to hack in manually or implement?

Whoops, missed a rename. The add-on was renamed as 1.5 renamed user tagging to user mentions.

It controls on if you can see the content of the group on hovering over the @Floyd R Turbo part for the group.

It doesn't implement that, as it was a quick & dirty way to tag established groups (ie different batches of staff, my site has 30-40 people in half a dozen groups who can be tagged) and an easy way to check who you tagged by looking at the message.

It is possible to have the color of the tag user group

I modified the return of bbcode for the user group color
You must add in the Addon

return $this->_wrapInHtml('<a href="'. htmlspecialchars($link).'" class="username ug" itemprop="name" data-usergroup="' . $userGroupId.','.htmlspecialchars($usergroupname).'"><span class="style'.$userGroupId.'">'.htmlspecialchars($usergroupname).'</span></a>');

 

[Xon]

@sampick69 I've chosen a different approach:

The class will be "username ug ug{$userGroupId}" on the link, do you require the <span> tag?

My result is very good

That isn't the solution I'm planning to support, unless you have an actually reason to prefer the <span> tag inside the <a> link

I simply picked what XenForo proposes to display user color

Can you try; https://github.com/Xon/XenForo-User.../4d934359709494125064d93c01564e8d47639b21.zip

It should implement this officially (and contains some minor code cleanup, so all the links are rendered like that)

This works perfectly

Feature update release

• Optional "Mini Avatar" like avatars when mentioning user groups.
  • Requires caching to be setup so the generated CSS isn't regenerated on each style request.

Thanks @Freelancer for funding this.
