Mentions turns usernames written with an @ (like @admin) in comments, chatbox posts and forum posts into links to the matching user profile. It also pops up a username auto-completion list as you type @, and can notify mentioned users by e-mail.

The original plugin by Arun S. Sekher (v1.6.4) had stopped working on modern setups — among other things it threw a fatal error on the admin page under PHP 8. We've adopted and updated it. Mentions 2.0 runs on PHP 7.4–8.4 and current e107 v2.

Highlights of this release

• Security: the auto-complete endpoint is hardened — input length capped, values escaped with toDB(), LIKE wildcards neutralized, result count limited in SQL, and banned users excluded. Debug logging no longer writes plaintext usernames or e-mail content into a web-accessible folder; it is off by default and writes to the protected e107 system log when enabled.
• Fixed the PHP 8 fatal error when opening the plugin admin page
• Comment notifications now actually register (a string-vs-integer comparison meant the check was always false)
• Event callbacks for chatbox, comment and forum converted to static entry points — were unreliable/fatal on PHP 8
• Notification e-mail loop rewritten (no more skipped users or "undefined array key" warnings); PHP 8.1+ deprecations cleaned up

Tested on e107 Lite 2.4.0, in: chatbox, chatbox menu, forum quick answer, and comments.

Two limitations inherited from upstream: non-latin usernames are not matched by the parser, and an @word inside a forum title can affect the rest of the thread's rendering.

Big thanks to Arun S. Sekher for the original Mentions plugin.

1. Kopírovanie

- cez FTP skopírovať súbory (všetko)

- cez phpMyAdmin vyprázdniť tabuľku #admin_log 

- cez phpMyAdmin vyexportovať databázu do súboru

2. Úpravy vyexportovaného sql súboru

- nájsť v súbore text websupport (ak je nastavené smtp, posiela maily aj z localhostu)

- nájsť preferencie redirectsiteurl,  siteurl, enable_ssl a upraviť  (je jednoduchšie zmeniť to pred importom ako potom v phpMyAdmine)

2. Úpravy na localhoste

- nájsť cache folder (esystem/hash/cache) a celý vymazať

- upraviť e107_config.php a nastaviť správny prístup k DB  (skontrolovať, či je hash nastavený v konfigu, inak sa zmeni - pozná sa to vypadnutím obrázkov)

- pre istotu skontrolovať .htaccess (občas treba nastaviť #RewriteBase)

- skontrolovať tabuľku #core, ak sa neupravila predtým 

Spustiť web na locale z novej adresy, všetko by malo fungovať. S praxou je to otázka 5-10 minút. 

I am still here. I did a new admin theme for the old CMS and I wanted to see how hard it is for the latest version. You can't create a new admin theme because... because it is hardcoded to the bootstrap3 name. But you don't need to. The actual theme works fine. There are just small issues when you want it worked different way...  

This is not something I would recommend for using, a better idea is to improve the core itself. This is just an example of what is possible.
