Add @mention feature

[fxstein]

Allow for adhoc notifications through @username inside of conversations and discussions. Similar or identical to this github feature: https://github.com/blog/821

The idea is to send a notification to the user mentioned, and possibly also show an entry in her/his activity stream.

Ajax autocomplete would be awesome in this case.

[fxstein]

Yes - I agree. Need to see how we can get our editor to do that...

[realrandal]

So no chance for that feature in quick reply? BTW. There is no Chance for few buttons in quick reply? Expand button would be aslo nice in this case.

[fxstein]

Everything has a chance. ;-) Somebody just needs to write it...
We are working on some other features at the moment, plus are closing out open issues for the release of Kunena 2.0

[realrandal]

I know that you already have full hands of work... Thanks

Thinking from josh

I do not think the topic controller gaithers particpants
[19:44:45] Josh Weiss: You would only @mention people in the same topic
[19:44:52] Josh Weiss: so for instant
[19:48:43] Josh Weiss: Person1 posts message 1
Person2 posts message 2
Person3 posts message 3
Person4 can @(Person1|Person2|Person3) someone from previous messages.

(I would not extend this to every possible user available as that list might be too long, especially on a big site such as rocket theme who have thousands of people)

I would keep this context sensitive with those people who have participated in a specific topic, easier to calculate and less resources to put all who is available.
[19:49:11] Josh Weiss: ==============
Now how should @mention behave.
[19:51:46 | Modifié (19:54:10)] Josh Weiss: 1) Should @mention be a javascript click that takes the person to the previous persons message post in the topic?
2) Should @mention open a new page for that topic with all the persons pervious replies for that specific topic?
3) Should @mention just link to the persons profile page?
4) Should @mention open a new page for ALL the persons previous replies.
[19:53:27 | Modifié (19:55:07)] Josh Weiss: My vote is 2 personally. But we should take a look at (twitter, chat clients, ect.) how they handle clicks on the @mention feature.
