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 (via the Views module).

Features

  • Tracks Mentions on any Entity.
  • 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 Tokens.
  • Autocompletion of mentions; Using the jQuery textcomplete library usernames will be suggested while mentioning.
  • Integrations with:
    • Machine name - Use a Machine name field as the mention source.
    • Rules - React to created, updated and deleted mentions.
