[For 1.6] MentionMe 2.3.3 (for MyAlerts 1.05)

[Wildcard]

Just installed this over at TESOF. Thanks for making this plugin, it's great!

Great to hear

I love your forum's look.

Actually, I already have a "tag" plugin, it just doesn't use the Alert system. I'll link it below, but I'm just about to submit several updates so it may go blank for a while. It was actually suggested that I integrate it with the alert system, how hard is this to do?

Not hard actually.

Just follow this Integration Wiki

MentionMe 1.5 has been pushed to the mod site. It is available at GitHub and is a stable working version.

Changes

• Surrounding punctuation no longer affects mentions.
  
  Previously
  
  @Wildcard, you are slow
  
  wouldn't work correctly. It has been fixed.
  
• Advanced Matching
  
  When a username contains spaces, you must enclose it in quotes when you @"mention" the user. This feature enables advanced matching so that
  
  @user name with spaces
  
  works if it is spelled correctly and that user exists.
  
  This feature is turned off by default as it can be more intense on server resources.
  
• Settinggroup and setting added for above feature.
  
• Installation routines reworked thanks to a suggestion from Euan
  
• Prevented multiple alerts for duplicate mentions in the same post.
  
• Reworked user name caching a bit to ensure no queries are wasted

There are no life-or-death updates here, but I personally enjoy being able to use punctuation near mentions so I would recommend upgrading.

1. Uninstall in ACP
   
2. Overwrite the previous files
   
3. Install & Activate in ACP
   
4. Enjoy

Updated and working great. I noticed some members using punctuation without the double quotes and it wouldn't link the username. This has it working perfectly.

Thanks!

You're welcome. I am sorry I missed that the first time.

One question: was it intentional not to alert someone after a post is edited? Example: I posted something roughly at the same time as someone else, so I didn't see their reply until after I posted mine. I edited my post (as to not double post) and Mentioned them in it. Doing this does not send them an alert - only new posts will do so.

It wasn't something intentional, but I did notice that. I have a couple of other improvements to make, perhaps I will do another small update version soon.

Your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks you so much.

MentionMe 1.5.1 is released.

Changes:

• Adding a mention to existing posts now create alerts (quick edit or full edit)
  
• If an alert has been previously created for that post, the alert is not created
  
• Fixed a bug where alerts weren't created because of punctuation. Updated mention routines to fix that.
  
• Fixed bug in which mentions were still parsed inside of [code] tags

Quite a few good updates, I would recommend updating.

A full reinstall isn't required, just overwrite the existing files

I have pushed a minor update to the mods site and it is currently awaiting validation.

The project at GitHub has been updated and is available for download:
