Hi,
Is there a way to send out mails to users when someone mentions them in their facebook_status messages? Can it be done through rules?

Many thanks

That's not currently possible. It's not terribly difficult to add, but it does require adding a hook,* and the 2.x branch is in code freeze right now (accepting only significant bug fixes) so postponing this until 3.x.

* It's possible without adding a hook, it just requires running the @mention/#hashtag-parsing code twice -- but if it's an absolute requirement you could still write a custom module for it.

Committed fix to 3.x-dev. (Specifically, I added a Rules event when a user is mentioned.)

Hi ICY,

Did this feature make it into the latest version of FBSS? It looks like it was committed last year so I was hoping to see it in 6x-3.1 but I can't find any Rules action for mentions. I was hoping to alert users via Appbar when they are mentioned in a status.

Thanks again for this great module. It has revolutionized my website!

Yes it's there. Look for the event "User was tagged in a status."

Thanks!

Just in case anyone else was struggling with this, make sure you have the 'Facebook-style Statuses Tags' sub-module activated. It shows up now.
