Mentions

Deciphered - July 16, 2009 - 07:40

The Mentions module offers Twitter like functionality, recording all references to a user's username - using the [@username] or [@#uid] filter format - from various locations, providing a centralized page to track all mentions.

Features

  • Tracks Mentions from supported modules:
  • An Input filter to convert [@username] or [@#uid] to the user's profile, e.g., [@deciphered] and [@#103796] become @deciphered.
  • Customizable input ([@username], [@#uid]) and output (@username) patterns, including support for the Token module.
  • Views integration, including a default page view for tracking mentions.
