Basically instead of quoting a large chunk of text to get someone's attention to get a reply, you can now just type the member you want to grab attention by by typing the @ and then the member name, you must select the name from the drop down box. Then the "mention" BBcode will automatically be inserted. If you messed it up like @PhilC and @rubber_jonnie did, you will just end up with plain text such as "@philC" which will not work. If you did it right, then the text will be in the mention brackets and be highlighted in red.Extension description: This extensions add support for mentioning a user by starting to type a @ in the posting field.
Once you select a user from the dropdown, the 'mention' BBCode will be inserted and after submitting the post it will create a notification to that user.
For example:
Code: Select all
[mention]Icky[/mention]
