What's happened?

...when we set Thread Display in apps> comments> settings..

If set to Yes comments will be displayed in a thread format allowing users to reply to specific comments instead of the general item they are commenting on.

why does it not use the username only but instead say

• [user=2]mary[/user] why does it not just use Mary instead

Steps to reproduce:

1. turn on thread display in comments
2. then go reply to a user then they reply back to you, then you reply back: it popup [user=2]mary[/user]
3. in IOS it adss ONLY the username as it should not the brackets etc... > [user=2]mary[/user]

What's expected?

...we should only see the username of the user that you are replying too just like in the IOS app

Hi @spirogg

We haven't supported this feature on the desktop site yet. So, I will mark this topic as a new feature request.

Regards.

I asked for that, 1 Year ago. No update :-(

@harrison05 can we ask the team to make this a priority. This is in everyone's website. If we have it on mobile we should be able to have on on desktop please. Talk to @phpfoxdev @phpfoxaccount

[harrison05]

We're working on this feature. It might available in the next version.

Regards.

@harrison05 i wish I would if explained better. When we post something in feed and we add @michelle (example) it still shows the code instead of name like in comments that you fixed. ?

[spirogg]

[user=2]mary[/user]

This still shows when you go to home page Feed If I try to add a posts or photo or video and tag a user it still shows [user=2]mary[/user] instead of Mary :(

[spirogg]

Comments works great. It not starting a new post

[harrison05]

[user=2]mary[/user]

This still shows when you go to home page Feed If I try to add a posts or photo or video and tag a user it still shows [user=2]mary[/user] instead of Mary :(

Did you upgrade to phpFox v4.8.4?

[spirogg]

@harrison05 yes. Comments work but starting a new post in feed does Not work.

[harrison05]

@spirogg It's weird, this improvement is working on our demo site https://v4.phpfox.com/

@harrison05 the issue is the template. i created my own template - (example createnew template from material, named it mywebsite

i added my logo and favicon saved as default template

now i do the upgrade, to 4.8.4

now I remove files no longer needed find missing settings, then language find missing phrases, then rebuild core theme, then clear cache...

now i try to @harrison05 and it does not work, so i check Material template and set as default clear cache and now it works.

• so the issue is the template before the upgrade, it does not change or rebuild to the same as material template
• so does not work
• only the original Material template as default works. this has to be a bug
