Even if it only stayed friends list, but the username showing at all in the typed text were gone, I would still pay for that. It is going to confuse end users when they are typing comments.

2.1 is close. My oppinion, take it or leave it, is if you want it to be clean and professional 2 more little things fixed would make it perfect...

• When user is typing message. after selecting the user their username is showing in the typed text until the comment is saved... then the first and last name show.

• Still limited to only friends list. It gives an inconstant experience when users not on the friends list is mentioned.

Those two things fixed, and I would call it perfect. I would even pay for that!

This works perfectly now. Thank you!

@William, 2.1 will show names

I just installed and noticed two things. I note that I have both the MentionUsers 1.9.1 and this new component installed. I am on 5.6 Premium.

1. This new component properly pulls up a list of friends names, but it posts the username and not the full name of the users. This is very important to have since you can't always identify a user by their username.

Text removed that is not related to this component

This is very useful! Thank you so much Mr. Arsalan Shah!

Couple of things. My system uses real names... upon install, ALL previous @mentions ended up having the "first name" ONLY highlighted, and link created to, which produces a 404 error if a user clicks on the link. Next. it only seems to work for people who are already in your friends list. Tested trying to use it for people in, and off, my friends list. NOTHING if they are not in the list. 3rd, another biggie, although it does do the lookup of people in the friend list with first and last name, when you select the user, it pastes their USERNAME into the comment, NOT their first and last name as everybody sees them in the system. For me, this is a big time NO GO in its current state.

this works so well, love it,

Oh... no notifications... gonna test it out and see how it meshes.

Whooooooa!!! Am downloading this NOW! Whooooooa!!! that's what I'm talkin' about! Much thanks!
