Add Support for Handling Spaces in Custom-Named Trust Levels in Their Group Slugs

[Hifihedgehog]

Hello again! First off, I want to say thank you to the Discourse team for a fantastic job improving the consistency of slug names versus full names in group titles. Now, I am experiencing a weird issue when attempting to replace the trust level names in my Discourse forum. I replaced all the names to the relevant titles in Jedi vernacular (Nerf herder, Youngling, Padawan, Jedi Knight, Jedi Master).

(Well, almost all of the titles are relevant: we expect a lot of scruffy-looking, uncivilized smugglers that’ll need trade in their blasters for a more elegant weapon for a more civilized age. He may also reserve the right to withhold the rank of Jedi Master from members [staff] belonging to the Jedi Council )

Strangely enough, though, group slugs only changed for trust levels 1 and 2 (Youngling and Padawan). For some reason or another, the others won’t change even after replacing them in the handy dandy text customization section under the Admin panel (under Admin->Customize->Text). Is there another step I need to take to enable the slugs to be superseded for trust levels 0, 3, and 4?

https://forum.farfarawaynews.com/g/padawan
https://forum.farfarawaynews.com/g/trust_level_3
https://forum.farfarawaynews.com/g/trust_level_4

EDIT: Ah, I think I know what it is. A common thread between all the custom trust levels that aren’t showing their name in their group slug is they all have a space in their custom name which may be breaking slug name generation. Could support be added so these built-in groups can handle spaces in custom-named trust levels?

Any news on a fix or workaround?

I’m a bit late to the party, but as I stumbled upon this while researching a different support query I thought I’d round it out. Usernames and groupnames don’t support spaces, so you would have to use an underscore in its place (like the default ones):

Want to also tag @laurent.c because he reported a version of the same problem in:

Changing Trust Level Names and Permissions

Hi, I changed the default name for trust_level_0: [image] But the slug of the group is still niveau_confiance_0: https://forum.kpacite.fr/g/niveau_confiance_0. When I want to mention the group, Il would like the pseudo membres and not niveau_confiance_0: [image] I have already changed it in this Discourse Forum : https://kafe.koweb.fr/g/membres but I did not remember how I have successed to do it. Any ideas ?

In reference to:

I make that change and the slug does not change:

It also will not change if I use a single word, which was successful for @Hifihedgehog.

To speed up the change throughout all the menus and addresses you can manually run Jobs::EnsureDbConsistency from your /sidekiq/scheduler page

@JammyDodger

EnsureDbConsistency

Ok, so, if I don’t, the job will run at some point and make the change?

[JammyDodger]

Next time it’s scheduled to run it should make those changes just as it would if you triggered it manually.

This did successfully run overnight after we spoke about this – thank you, @JammyDodger

Thanks for mentionning. Indeed, the modifications works after the job. I’m going to report it in the subject I have opened.
