Easy Mentions allows the users to link to other users' profiles in posts (by using @username) and tags (by using #tag), basically like Twitter.

Just make a new post, write the content with a @username (can be any username) in the text. When you submit the post, the plugin will automatically link the usernames (which exist) to their profile. You can also link the tags in the same way by using #tag. Note that the plugin doesn't link the usernames or tags with spaces. You can also disable linking of users or tags by going to the settings page.

The plugin can also add a Reply link below each post, which when clicked, adds the reply text (configurable) in the post textbox. This can be enabled via the settings page, but before that please see #1 question in the FAQ.

Awesome Gautam! Thanks so much for this!

Now, my username has a space in it (I use my full name), but I've set it to use my display name instead. Thing is, it doesn't pick that up. Is there any way I can change my actual username?

You can edit your user database table.

Thanks, all works smoothly with the database - I never thought it was safe before.

What was the bug?

Hi Gautamn,

in my case, the plugin generates the replies as follows:

<em>@<a href="http://www.xtc-modified.org/forum/bb-admin/posts.php?poster_ip=91.36.255.214">
                  Tomcraft                  </a></em>

Any ideas?

Kind regards

Tom

It depends on how much your post.php differs from the default kakumei theme. You give me your website link and I'll post the new javascript code for you.

Having the same issue as Tom.

I'd also like to customize the Reply link to be:
"Reply to @<user-nsmae>'s <post-id>:"
where <post-id> is the link to the message.

Any help would be awesome :)

@Tom
The development version should work for you - http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/easy-mentions/easy-mentions.zip

@Michael
So what should the resulting text look like? This:
Replying to @<user-link><user-name></user-link>'s <post-link>post</post-link>:

And regarding the reply not working, the bottom of the post should have a # with post link (the plugin fetches the post url from there).

Nope, the trunk version doesn't fix that for me, still the same links:

<em>@<a href="http://www.xtc-modified.org/forum/bb-admin/posts.php?poster_ip=91.36.255.214">
                  Tomcraft                  </a></em>

@Gautam:

That's exactly what I'm looking for. :)

And regarding the reply not working, the bottom of the post should have a # with post link (the plugin fetches the post url from there).

I'm no JavaScript guru, but it looks like it does that by checking parent controls, right? If so, surely there will be conflict with other plugins if they use that bar at the bottom.
Now, I removed my post-permalink as I felt it wasn't needed. I'll have to put it back. That might actually solve my problem (same as Tom's).

Not sure if you need this, but here's my code for the 'poststuff' div:

<div class="poststuff"><a href="<?php post_anchor_link(); ?>">Permalink</a><?php bb_post_admin(); ?><div class="right"><?php printf( __('Posted %s ago'), bb_get_post_time() ); ?></div></div>

:)

@Michael
I think you have got it to work.

@Tom
Can you activate the reply feature for some time? Or make the user gautam as administrator and I'll handle the rest. Also thanks for the donation! :-)

The current reply feature only has this going at the moment:
Reply to: @Michael

There is no post linkage at the moment.

@Michael
Put this at the end of the string you modified:
<a href="'+jQuery(this).siblings('a:first').get(0)+'">post</a>

It should work.

This is tricky because I have much traffic in the forums. Users would immediately wnat to try the new feature and I would have some work to edit all those posts.

I'll try to update to the latest bbPress Trunk and see if it works.

Well, it is not related to the version of bbPress, but how much your post.php differs from the default theme because the reply.js fetches the url of the post and the name of the author via parent/child/sibling relation between the HTML elements. If you could give me the code of the bottom bar of the post, then I would be able to generate a new javascript for you.

Hi Gautam,

here is my post.php:

<?php bbad_ad_block(); ?>

<div>
      <div class="threadauthor">
            <?php //post_author_avatar(); ?>
            <?php post_author_avatar_link(80); ?>
            <?php //avatarupload_display(get_post_author_id()); ?>
            <p> <strong>
                  <?php post_author_link(); ?>
                  </strong><br />
                  <small>
                  <?php post_author_title(); ?>
                  </small>
                  <?php //pm_user_link(get_post_author_id()); ?>
            </p>
      </div>
      <div class="threadpost">
            <?php
           $search_array = array('<pre></pre>', '</pre>');
       	 $replace_array = array('','');
		?>
            <div class="post post_main">
                  <?php str_replace($search_array, $replace_array, post_text()); ?>
            </div>
            <div class="line"></div>
            <div style="float:left; width:auto"><span class=timetitle title="<?php echo date("D j. M Y - G:i:s", bb_offset_time(strtotime($bb_post->post_time))); ?>"><strong>
                <?php printf( __('Posted %s ago'), bb_get_post_time() ); ?></strong></span> |
                  <a href="<?php post_anchor_link(); ?>">Direktlink</a> </div>
            <div style="float:right; width:auto; text-align:right">

                  <?php bb_post_admin(); ?>
                  </div>
            <div style="clear:both"></div>
            <div style="border:1px solid #ccc; background:#eee; margin-top:5px; text-align:center; padding:5px;">F&uuml;r den Inhalt des Beitrages <strong><?php echo post_id(); ?></strong> haftet ausdr&uuml;cklich der jeweilige Autor: <?php post_author_link(); ?></div>
