Discourse Show Fullname in Mentions

Customization Theme component
26

OK, I’ve managed to get some time to improve this theme-component this weekend and updated it to v2.0.

It’s much more efficient now.

The v2 of the component includes the following new features:

  • the loading of the users’ data was optimized to make as few Ajax requests as possible, fetching up to 50 users/groups per request.
    It also can leverage the serialized data if the Site Setting enable user statusis enabled. In this case, it will perform Ajax requests only to fetch data for group mentions.
  • Added support to display full names for groups mentions.
  • Added setting to customize how the names are rendered in the mentions
  • Added support to reverse the rendered mentions text back to the original markdown when quoting.

The new version requires a pretty recent feature is Discourse, so you need to update Discourse at least to 3.2.0.beta2.

@Hifihedgehog, @thoka if you want to try it. Please let me know if you encounter some issue.
