A simple plugin parsing @username (@"Complex Username") Twitter-style mentions into profile links with user's group display style.

It is compatible with AJAX-driven plugins - DVZ Shoutbox as an example:


This is the most optimized edition among other plugins with similar functionality as user-related information is being loaded using a single SQL query where possible and cached.

Offers hard-coded configuration (keep the prefix, style usernames, ignored phrases).

The catch rules should eliminate any unwanted replaces (like e-mail addresses).

The plugin has been tested in various environments, however there may be issues related to different encoding (UTF-8).

When I uploaded your file it gave me this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/xxxxx/public_html/inc/plugins/dvz_mentions.php on line 65

Do you know what's causing this? :o

Installed to test and works absolutely fine here, what other plugins are you using?


also, would be nice if this worked like WildCard's MentionMe and integrated with MyAlerts.

Old PHP version is causing the problem. Switching to PHP version 5.3 or higher will fix the issue (should be available on any hosting).

Can you double-check that? You can also try 5.4 or 5.5.

I got this error right after uploading this plugin

syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/content/xx/xxx/html/inc/plugins/dvz_mentions.php on line 5

A compatibility patch for 1.8 included some code changes that require PHP 5.4 (or higher) in order to work and that is why you are getting this error.

Wanting to add styling buttons to it but can't fit the template. Is there a specific location it is at?

Is it possible to do that when you mention a user, the system sends an alert? (similar to the new PM alert)
