XMB Forum Software - @username tagging - Powered by XMB 1.9.12 (Debug Mode)

Quick alpha hack
- superadmin only; can make available for all by removing or commenting out two lines
- tag multiple @username in reply
- only in post reply; can be put in newthread section if required

To install:
in post.php, find these two lines around line numbers 1308 and 1309:
$db->escape_fast($dbmessage);
$db->escape_fast($dbsubject);

copy and paste the following above the two lines ^

Code:


// After validating and processing the post content, add this code to handle @username tags
// Admin only at this stage
if (X_SADMIN) { // remove line to be free for all or add // to start of line

    $taggedMembers = [];
    preg_match_all('/@([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/', $dbmessage, $matches);

    if (!empty($matches[1])) {
        foreach ($matches[1] as $taggedUsername) {
            // Check if the tagged username(s) exist in the members table
            $query = $db->query("SELECT username FROM ".X_PREFIX."members WHERE username='".$db->escape($taggedUsername)."'"); 
            if ($db->num_rows($query) > 0) {
                $taggedMembers[] = $taggedUsername;
            }
            $db->free_result($query);
        }
    }

// Prepare the message content for u2u
    $posturl = $full_url."viewthread.php?goto=lastpost&amp;tid=$tid";
    //$dbmessage = postedVar($dbmessage, '', TRUE, FALSE);
    $u2uMessage = 'You were tagged: ' . "\n" . $threadname . "\n\n" . $posturl . "\n\n" . 'It says: ' . "\n";

    $u2uMessage = addslashes($u2uMessage)  . $dbmessage . "\n\n"; // Messages are historically double-slashed. $dbmessage had addslashes earlier in code around line 534
    $u2uSubject = addslashes('You were tagged!');

    $db->escape_fast($u2uMessage);
    $db->escape_fast($u2uSubject);


// Send u2u to each tagged member
    foreach ($taggedMembers as $taggedMember) {
       
        $db->escape_fast($taggedMember);
        $db->escape_fast($username);

        $db->query("INSERT INTO ".X_PREFIX."u2u (msgto, msgfrom, type, owner, folder, subject, message, dateline, readstatus, sentstatus) VALUES ('$taggedMember', '$username', 'incoming', '$taggedMember', 'Inbox', '$u2uSubject', '$u2uMessage', ".$db->time($onlinetime).", 'no', 'yes')");
    }
} // remove line to be free for all or add // to start of line
