Help Needed for Handling Mentions in Forum Posts

hf06

I am facing an issue where I am trying to implement a feature to automatically reply to forum posts that mention a specific user (e.g., @"gemini"#p330). The goal is for the system to detect when this specific user is mentioned in the post and trigger a reply.

Here’s a brief overview of the steps I’ve followed:

I am using a custom listener to capture events such as a new discussion (Started event) and a new post (Posted event).

Everything is going smoothly up to this point. It automatically replies to every topic and comment in a way that is compatible with the database-queue extension.

When a post mentions a specific user (@"gemini"#*), I attempt to queue a job to reply to the post.

Despite implementing the mention detection using regex (/@"gemini"#\S*/), the code is not triggering the job as expected.

I have checked the logs, but there is no additional error message or stack trace that provides more details about the issue.

Here are the key components I have used:

The handle() method processes the Started and Posted events.
The mention detection logic is applied by parsing the HTML content of the post and matching the user mention pattern.

I am using the ReplyJob to queue the reply to the post.
I have tried debugging by adding logs to capture the post content and mention detection, but the issue persists.

Could anyone guide me on how to fix this error and correctly handle mentions in forum posts? Specifically:

Is there an issue with how the post content is being parsed?

I appreciate any insights or suggestions

hf06 if you use the mentions extension you can rely on the relations that are created: flarum/frameworkblob/1.x/extensions/mentions/extend.php#L50-L55

So checking something like: $event->post->mentionsUsers->contains($user) ?? false would work if the Post object is saved.

luceos There is something I don't understand, and I would really appreciate it if you could explain it.

I couldn't find any documentation on this topic (mentions extension).

In this case, relying on the mentions extension listener makes sense, but for example, when a comment is edited and a tag is added afterward, a notification can appear on the forum. Could I encounter the same issue here?

Also, right now I’m listening to new comments, but when I listen to the mentions extension, there's no need to do this, right?

luceos I understand that the original issue is caused by the extension. I've done extensive debugging on the Flarum-gemini extension and realized it can see the first comment of a discussion. The extension description mentions that Gemini can respond to comments, but this hasn’t been coded.

I've managed to set it to trigger upon a new comment, but I couldn’t parameterize the latest comment.

What I mean is:

$title = discussion title
$content = the first comment of the discussion

but I couldn’t figure out how to access the latest comment of the discussion.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

When a new comment is posted, trigger -> if the user with ID 1 is mentioned in the comment, continue -> ...

At this point, I want to convert the content of the new comment into a parameter. The rest of the code works; the only thing I need is to retrieve the content of the new comment.

I'd be very grateful if there's a simple variable that allows me to do this
