How can i mention a user in a post?
Can I mention any user in a topics. I have tried these two codes but not working.
- Code:
@username
- Code:
[mention]username[/mention]
Re: How can i mention a user in a post?
You can use that variable in a post without the space in username.
- Code:
{User name}

Re: How can i mention a user in a post?
I am a little confused, I tried going {TheirUsername} but it dod not work. Am I doing it wrong, or is my forum [ http://nintyonline.forumotion.com ] set up differently?
I tried this:
{Sanket}
but with one of my users. :3

No it should be username with the brackets, not the real username like sanket.

So {Username}Sanket{/Username} ?
But with the [ ]...
[username]Sanket[/username]
[Username]Sanket
[Username]Sanket[Username]
If it isn't any of those I don't understand whay you are telling us to do with the Using php in posts is called being a smart [Language]... Stop it piece of it.
EDIT: I did not type that last part, I swear. All I said was:
"If it isn't any of those then I don't understand what you are telling us to do with the"
[Username] ( but with { } )
"piece of it."
o_O

I am adding it in a reply. Will it work only in "new topic" ?
Re: How can i mention a user in a post?
Try with Username
Should work in posts, whether a new thread or just a reply.

So what exactly needs to be typed?
Say I wanted to mention Leeloo. What exactly would I type to do that?

If you want a specific username to be mentioned, you type that specific username Leeloo.Professor Clayton wrote:So what exactly needs to be typed?

The variable above when viewed by any user, will show up their own username. Do you understand?

Re: How can i mention a user in a post?
Oh okay. So there is no way to directly link to a user without copying the url to their account, and this method here mentions yourself.
Sorry if I sound like an idiot, I honestly didn't get what you were saying before.

Re: How can i mention a user in a post?
For the other users, it will show their username.
Also, here on this forum that code won't work because its censored.

Can't I use only one username that i want to mention. I don't need to see my own username. I want to mention only one username that all people will see same.
