Post Tagging Support & FAQ

← Back to Support & FAQ — Help for Post Tagging


Introduction


Post Tagging allows for Twitter-style tagging in user's posts. When a user that actually exists is tagged, it displays a link to their profile and username coloured in their correct usergroup style.


Installing Post Tagging


To install this Feature, unzip the contents directly to your forum root (or upload following the download folder's structure). Visit the MyNetwork Overview in your ACP and then select the Core Module. The Post Tagging Feature should be listed in the available features. Simply open the Options menu and select Install.


When installed, the Post Tagging Feature adds 1 MyBB setting.


Using Post Tagging


Post Tagging is enabled for every user in every forum. By default, it is switched on. To turn it off, edit the "Allow Post Tagging" option in the Posting settings in the ACP (Admin CP -> General Configuration -> Posting).


To tag a user in a post, simply enter @"{username}" (where {username} is the username of the tagged user). When the post is submitted, it will automatically be converted to a post tag.


If the Post Tagging Feature is removed or turned off, posts with tags in simply show their unstyled form.


Upgrading Post Tagging


If you're upgrading from version 1.0 to 1.0.1, you only need to replace ./inc/network/core/m_posttag.php file. You do not need to deactivate/uninstall or reinstall the feature for the upgrade.
