Hi Vincent, This is getting closer to what I had in mind but not exactly. What I am suggesting is the ability to tag a user's name anywhere on the xwiki\. It would work as follows: - type "@" - a dropdown menu appears with all usernames - select a username - that user will then be notified that his/her name has been mentioned, with the link the the location of the mention. For example I could write in the comment section: "John, should we meet tomorrow to discuss this page?" The tagged name "John" could appear in a different colour being a link to his profile; and he will somehow be notified of this comment when he logs in. Without this feature, he may not notice my comment. Thanks, Oliver On 8 March 2017 at 18:59, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:

I feel it would be extremely handy to be able to tag someone's name in the xwiki and the next time that person logs in, he/she will be notified and directed to the page/comment where that happened. Perhaps a feature request :)
We also have the ability to send messages to people in the wiki, see: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Message%20Stream% 20Application/
This should provide a feature similar to the one you wish I believe, WDYT?
Thanks -Vincent
Thanks, Oliver

We have http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/ Share%20Page%20Application . The user gets notified through mail.

Is it possible to do this on a page to alert a user if you would like to get them to view some page/comment? I.e. this is a useful feature on Facebook, but then I guess most of don't use Facebook. ;)
Thanks, Oliver
