Description

Try to mention somebody in this issue, try to mention me, a dropdown that helps you autocomplete appears;
Try to do the same thing on a Gitea hosted server, let's hope you remember the exact username...

[bryanpedini]

This is actually more a "feature request" than a bug, but whatever...

PS: yes, I find it funny and entertaining into discovering bugs of open source programs whenever I have spare time to;
'cause who knows, maybe I'm helping getting that software better..

[lunny]

Sorry, I don't know what did you mean.

[bryanpedini]

Sorry, I don't know what did you mean.

The helpful dropdown that autocompletes mentions

It's present here on GitHub:

It's present on GitLab:

But not on Gitea, forcing people to remember exact username of the one you want to mention.

[lunny]

I don't know which version you are using.

[bryanpedini]

Oh, sorry... 1.7.5
Is that "feature" already implemented on newers? I created the issue just 'cause I didn't see any opened / closed issue on this topic so thought even on new releases it wasn't present...

[lunny]

@bryanpedini yes, it has been implemented. You can always try the new feature on https://try.gitea.io

[bryanpedini]

Is it enabled on current latest 1.8.2?
If it is, could you please take a look on #7216 to check if an update/upgrade could help, 'cause I'm currently waiting to upgrade my instace for that issue...

[bryanpedini]

Also...

You can always try the new feature on https://try.gitea.io

I did that here https://try.gitea.io/niaoked/test/issues/1 'cause was the first repo to come up under "explore".. but did dropdown didn't come up there on gitea try instance...

[lunny]

You cannot mention anyone you want currently, just the people your team members.

[bryanpedini]

Aaaah, I see... thanks for the clarification!
Could it then be a next feature like here in GitHub then? (maybe?)

[lunny]

@bryanpedini I think we can, but we need a better performance method to do that. Currently just find the people via database.

[bryanpedini]

Maybe searching people in the database but just those people that have contributed at least once on the repository you are currently mentioning users in PRs or issues;
Or people that you currently have mentioned in the past;
Or that you have added at least once in any of your repositories;

Or any combination of those (caching would be nice too like in a temporary table or a view...)
(if it is possible, IDK..)

[lunny]

Yeah. It's possible. Need some PRs from some people. :)

[bryanpedini]

Hahaha... yeah...

Hook me up if you need any help / idea (not practic with Golang but could figure out the logic, IDK)...
(maybe assign 1.x.x and kind/feature?)

This can be closed btw, the specified functionality is already there. (It's not perfect, but that's another issue)
