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

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 :) Thanks, Oliver On 6 March 2017 at 19:16, Marius Dumitru Florea < mariusdumitru.florea(a)xwiki.com> wrote:

Hi Oliver,

We also have the ability to send messages to people in the wiki, see: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Message%20Stream%20App… This should provide a feature similar to the one you wish I believe, WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

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 <vincent(a)massol.net> wrote:

I guess the quickest way to implement that in an extension would be a component listening to DocumentCreatedEvent (and DocumentUpdatedEvent) so that whenever a document is created it look at the content (or the diff in case it's a modification and not a creation) of the document and xobjects (to support comments too for example) and when matching @<existinguserid> send a notification to the user. The UI part might be a bit trickier to do for an extension without conflicting with the WYSIWYG unless there is something for that in CKEditor itself, there should not be much conflict risk with the wiki editor but I'm really not the one to ask for guidelines to implement something like this :) On Wed, Mar 8, 2017 at 11:41 PM, Oliver Angélil <molofishy(a)gmail.com> wrote:
