Hello,
I am wondering how I can add a mentions system to BBPress. Is there a way to do it without using BuddyPress? I really do not want to install something that I will not use half the features out of.

Just so we all know what this is about, when I say mentions I mean something like @usernamex. I guess another word for it would be user tagging.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hello,
Would it be possible to take the code that adds this functionality in with BuddyPress, create a separate plugin, and then make it work for BBPress? I can’t believe a forum software does not have this built in.

Thanks 🙂

Any suggestions? Or is BuddyPress my only option.

Hi, for now it seems that buddypress is the only option.

Thanks.

@tech55541 I found this.

Cool, I am already using BuddyPress, thanks anyway.

Just tried that plugin – it errored, but have lodged a supprt ticket.

It would be good to have a plugin that does the buddypress mentions stuff without buddypress !

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 12 months ago]

Yes it would, BBPress could be so much better, if a few more basic features were added to it.

Just in case somebody gets back on this ticket and is still looking for it, bbP Toolkit v1.0.7 now has basic mentionning for bbPress.
