shall I just disable the flarum mentions and install evergreen or its mandatory to remove flarum mentions?

edit: got it I should not uninstall it, just need to remove it 👍

Edit 2: how can i disable show reply .. i want it to display without hitting the "show reply" button and old posts are not showing as a tree view

another issue i have found is if I install evergreen and mention someone it is working fine. but after removing evergreen and switching back to flarum/mention its not recognizing mentions created by evergreen. 🐛 (bug)

    Hari after removing evergreen and switching back to flarum/mention its not recognizing mentions created by evergreen. 🐛 (bug)3

    This is critical. 😢

      Not currently a feature.
      Old posts migrating to evergreen would be an ENORMOUS migration and could take hours on larger forums.

      The mentions will stick, the reply tree will be removed however.

          thimiraonline like Kyrne said migrating old posts to evergreen will take time. i did not see any option to migrate, probably we may need to run a command. I don't think it is suitable for old forums. i find we may get good support and easy migrations with flarum/mentions. if it's a small or new community it would be a nice feature to adopt but once the community posts/discussions get increased not sure how fast we could able to stay up to date with the new flarum core updates.

          page is also loading a little slow comparing (maybe 5%) with and without evergreen. (not sure how it works) you will not feel the loading popup fluidness when you hit show all replies. on the other hand, it would be great if evergreen has an option to show replies like stack overflow.

          you can install and test it and remove it immediately 😃 but don't hit any uninstall button on the admin panel it will delete the flarum/mention data.

              Hari Thank you. This way is good to go. I'll stick with Flarum default one. I think @Kyrne will develop this extension in the future. I am willing to add it to my forum when it complete.

              @Kyrne Please refer to the Commento comment system, then you can take a nice UI idea. Keep this developing, we hope you will do it better. Good luck. 🤝

                thimiraonline Saw this earlier. But didn't tried in the forum 🙄
                People reported about bugs and it will be a risk to try it in a large forum.

                I think trying it in a localhost and then to the live forum will be ok. Isn't it 😐️ ?

                    That's always a better choice, whether it's a large community or a small one.

                      Can someome please give me an online forum link using this extension? I want to see how it appears.

                      As a helpful tip, I am able to workaround with disabling the show reply button, and showing the entire commen tree automatically via the javascript below. Just add the code snippet to the footer.

                      Unfortunately I can't use this awesome extension (yet) since the original post still displays linearly below, and no easy way to hide them. If the extension can allow the option to display replies only in the comment tree, that would be a pretty useful feature I think.

                      # Auto show Evergreen comments every 1.5s (If enabled)
<script type="text/javascript">
function autoShowEvergreen() {
    var elems = document.getElementsByClassName("Evergreen--show");
    for(var i=0; i<elems.length;i++) {
        if( elems[i].tagName.toLowerCase() === "button" )
            elems[i].click();
    }
}
window.onload = function(){
    setInterval(autoShowEvergreen(), 1500)
}
</script>

  Problem 1
    - flarum/mentions is locked to version v1.0.0 and an update of this package was not requested.
    - kyrne/evergreen 0.2.0 conflicts with kyrne/evergreen 0.2.0.
    - Root composer.json requires kyrne/evergreen ^0.2.0 -> satisfiable by kyrne/evergreen[0.2.0].


Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

                        clarkwinkelmann Thx for the link. Is beacause FreeFlarum request packagist links when we suggest extensions. Soo this can be handy if we got one.

                            wolfshards we require packagist links because it is easier for us to check for dependencies and compatibility with other packages/extensions this way. It's just one click away from the issue. However, it's not strictly required to include packagist links in our extension requests, because you can make them from the require command anyways (as Clark pointed out). But they save us some time trying to figure things out
