I have pushed an update where the group notifications will be send via the background queue system of IPB, this should fix the timeouts of groups with a large number of members. I tested it myself on a group with 40k members and it worked.

In your setting of group mentions there is a new checkbox which you can toggle to enable this

You can also follow up the background task in your acp dashboard:

Hopefully it fixes it as well for you guys

@kRSB -- A member is reporting that he has twice now been notified despite not being a part of particular group. Is this a known bug? Can I fix it somehow?

Hey, it's the first time I hear about this so it's not a known bug.  He might be getting a notification because of these:

- user has the group as secondary group

- user is subscribed to the topic. 

- user is following the author

I believe that he has the same issue whenever the group has a huge number like 20K or more,

That's possible, but his total member count is only 4k so 😕

I'm also currently working to see if I can find a solution for that.

I can ask you to make some quicker contact like Discord or something, we care about time to fix it, and with that it can be a little more fun

Feel free to send me a pm with your discord. Also could you maybe test this:

- mention a group with a low amount of users in -> does it give an error?

- mention a group with a high amount of users in -> does it give an error?

Tell me, you've encountered a mistake that if I want to post a new topic in the forum and mark more groups, I get a mistake in the forum? I have no idea what the problem is, whether from the forum or the plugin.

Hey, no it's completely fine to mention multiple groups in 1 post. I don't think that error is related to the plugin but it's best that you check the system logs in acp or ask your system admin to check the server logs to see why that error happened.

Hello. I have a problem with the application, namely I uploaded it via marketplace to my forum, activated it, set permissions, but when creating a new topic I have no options anywhere to select groups to mark. Where can the problem lie, how to fix it?

Hey @Erosik, it works the same way as user mentions. If you start typing @ then type the groupname and you will see it

On 9/27/2020 at 6:40 PM, AlexJ said:

Can you also add the feature so that we get @ symbol next to quote - before or after - this way rather then quoting full post, we can directly tag, user ID through mention. Thanks

 

 

Hey @AlexJ, sorry I'm not following completely. What do you mean with user ID? This app mentions groups not a single user.

On 9/16/2020 at 11:21 PM, Afrodude said:

I use it on group that has 50K members and more. I don't know if you can improve that, so it doesn't cause this issue.

I'm planning to look into this, so the notifications can be send in a queue when it's lots of them

Hi there. I tried using this on 4.5 but didn't receive any notifications on several accounts I tried testing 😕 @kRSB Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Oops, just realized this wasn't updated for 4.5 yet. Any word on if it will be would be awesome. I really liked this tool. Thank you. 🙏 

Submitted app update for 4.5. It's under review currently

@kRSB Is there any specific number of any group this addon can handle? Because many times whenever I mention a huge number of a group it takes too long to post the reply, and whenever you look at the topics list on the forum my reply doesn't show as I was the last one replied to that topic. 

Hey, that's hard to say. I currently use it on a board where we mention around 250 members without any slowing down. It can also be depend on your server setup so hard to put a specific number on it.

@kRSB - Hi, will you update this for IPB 4.5? I really liked the plugin!

Yes I will, have you tried it on 4.5 yet? I think it should continue working. If not i'll make an update for it

I can't seem to enable this or find anything about it on the ACP as well as the front-end. Any tips on getting it working?

Hey @notmacknelson you can find it in ACP under Community settings -> Group Mention

On 5/6/2020 at 5:36 PM, breatheheavy said:

Hey @kRSB, wondering if you can help me please.

I set the permissions so only Admins or my subscriber group can use Group Mentions. 

The Subscriber group is named Plus.

They only should be able to tag the Plus group, not ALL groups, however despite the permissions... they can tag all groups. 

I have a test account that's a standard user, and they did indeed receive the notification. Am I missing something?

Here is the settings:
 

 

Here is the standard user receiving a notification anyway from the member that used the tag to tag all groups:
 

 

Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated. 

Hey,

Those settings look correct. I tried it myself on my site but i'm not able to reproduce this. Is it possible that this standard user has a secondary group of "Plus"?

Also if possible could you pm me ACP details so I can take a look?

@kRSB can you add an option to remove formatting in group mention?

In this case blue color is barely visible, I prefer it to look like user mention:

Hey @root88

You can easily change that with placing this CSS in your custom css:

1) To change the text color for all groups you can use:

a[data-mentionid] span {

color: white !important;

}

Where white is the color you want (by looking at your screenshot it's set to white

2) If you want to change it for only a specific group:

a[data-mentionid='18'] span {

color: white !important;

}

Where 18 is the group id

Hope it helps!

Thanks for the fast response. I've bought the plugin and it's working perfectly, exactly as described.

Is there any change of a feature request?

Would it be difficult to add an option to force password change when adding a new user?

When in Admin CP -> Members -> Create New Member

Like below:

Will look into adding it into a future update, but can't promise a date 😛 

@ArmaCoopCorps @Gesundheit

Please download the new version (1.0.3). It will now show a list of members in the group when you hover over it (max 5 people to not clutter forums)

Keep in mind that it will only be for NEW group mentions though

Hello, I have just installed it and notifications are working for primary and secondary groups without problems.

Buuuut when I hover over @kRSB mention then I have whole forum in popup. It happens on default theme and with all other plugins / apps disabled.

Any ideas?

 

On 3/5/2020 at 9:16 PM, Gesundheit said:

Hello,

Same issue here. Hovering over the group mention will load the entire first page of the forum within a hovercard. @kRSB

Thanks for reporting!

I have identified the problem, I will bring out a fix ASAP

@AlexJ you can now mention groups by simply typing @! Please download the new version 😛

On 8/22/2018 at 3:54 AM, liquidfractal said:

Yeah, unfortunately while it's included in the forum/topic post interface, it's missing from the blogs. Here's hoping you can add it soon. ?

 

@liquidfractal it should now also work for blogs since it hooks into the user mentions (so everywhere you can do user mentions you can do groups)

Any estimated ETA? ex - @ staff would help instead of drop down. 

Should be somewhere within the next 1-2 months most likely , i'm finishing some work for a client and then during my summer holidays i'll look into updating this

I try mention group with @ ( @members ) - it doesn't work

 or using selectbox - it also doesn't work - members of group don't receive any notifications.

 

In first post on screen I use selectbox and in second I use @GropuName

Hey, you have to use the select box. by typing @ it will not work (I will be adding this as well in the future)

I can only see 1 screenshot in your post but this is where the selectbox is:

If you can't get it to work could you pm me your site and an account I could test with so I can take a closer look?

compatitble with 4.4

Using this on my forums but members in more than one group are not getting the notifications. 

Ie: I'm in admin as my primary group with a secondary of coaches. When I group mention coaches the only ones receiving the notification is the ones with coaches set as primary group. 

Any advice? 

Hey,

Make sure you are using the latest version, secondary group support was added there. If that is already the case this could be the reason why you didn't receive it:

If you are the author of the post, you won't receive a notification (since you made the post yourself, you already know about it, so there is no need to send a notification to yourself)

Ie: if you as admin mention @coaches in your post and you are also part of the coaches group, you won't receive the notification (you are author) but all the others who have coaches as primary or secondary will.

now I have another question .. it will be possible that there are criteria for selecting accounts, for example, registration dates, last connection date, post number, etc,

Hey sorry for a late answer, apparantly I wasn't following this topic so I didn't get a notification 😞

I'll look into including this with the next update!

Tried the default theme and no luck. 

Disabled one app at a time and checked. Still no dice.

Could you pm me your website + acp? Then I can take a look

I've installed and enabled it settings but I can't get this to show up. Any ideas why?

Which IPB version are you running?

Also could you try it on the default theme and disabling other apps/plugins to see if that helps?
