Functionality @user #120

Closed lcasanova78 closed 3 years ago

When mentioning a project member by using the phrase @user_name, it is converted to a meaningless text user#, What's the point of this, if it were a link to the user's id it would be great, but just plain text I don't understand what it's for. Could you explain me this functionality and how to take advantage of it?

I guess should have been the user#ID user link syntax described here.

In genreal, an issue might be that once the user link is interpreted by Redmine formatter, it's difficult to restore the former syntax.

I'd vote for using @username as the default syntax. @taqueci ?

Can provide a PR later.

Hi @lcasanova78 and @martincizek

Using user#ID is for user privacy. Jean-Philippe Lang, the author of Redmine, said user login name should be hidden. I think so too.

However, I understand your suggestion because syntax @USERNAME is well known and used by many applications.

Can provide a PR later.

Thank you for your contribution! I would be glad if @USERNAME is available only in non-pubilc project or using @USERNAME is configurable.

But it is supposed to convert @username to a user # iduser link, but it does not create a link just plain text
