Hi, I’m looking for the best way to automatically assign user titles based on a combination of group membership and trust level. For example: If a user is in group A and has trust level 1, their title should be “A TL1” If a user is in group A and has trust level 2, their title should be “A TL2” I…

Would it work for you to configure the title based on the group membership (A or B) and have a component that adds the title based on the trust level behind that? I think then you wouldn’t need all those combined subgroups :thinking: Another idea: Maybe the plugin which automatically sets the trus…

Thank you for your suggestions Unfortunately, I don’t have any programming experience myself, so I’m not able to develop or modify plugins. I have already reached out to the plugin author to ask if this feature (combining group membership and trust level for titles) could be added, or if they have …

If it’s the user’s primary groups, I think as you mentioned in the other topic, that would make things a lot easier. Then, you can get their primary group via user.primary_group and then set the title using user.title.

@joo I have added the setting add_primary_group_title (default off) that: adds the user’s primary group as the title text behind the title, eg: [image] joo: TL1 can be edited using the settings as before. Used a hint of ask.discourse.com magic. P.S. If you’re wondering how I ind…

Hi! Thank you for your update and support! I may not have explained my requirement clearly before, so I want to clarify it again with an easy-to-understand example: Suppose our forum has two main groups: Group A: Designers Group B: Developers For each group, I want users with different trust le…

Also, I am trying to achieve this on my test site: http://ask.discourse.com/ . I don’t have programming experience, so I am not sure if it’s possible to implement this myself.

I might use a placeholder value, e.g. {group_nane} in the text box so that it can be easier to edit the title. I’ll take a look. [image] joo: Also, I am trying to achieve this on my test site: http://ask.discourse.com/ . You might want to check out: [image] AI Bot - Ne…

[image] joo: Suppose our forum has two main groups: Group A: Designers Group B: Developers For each group, I want users with different trust levels to get a completely different title, like this: For Designers group: Trust Level 1 → “Junior Designer” Trust Level 2 → “Designer” Trust Level…

@joo Really neat idea! If you look at the plugin now, I think I did this too (was running some final tests). I see you looped through each user, but in big forums, this may take a while. So, I did a SQL UPDATE: app%2Fjobs%2Fscheduled%2Fupdate-all-titles.rb main …

Thanks for the explanation, I understand how your {group_name} template works now. But this is exactly what I meant by the difference in logic. My core requirement is to be able to apply completely different title structures for the same trust level, based on different user groups. For example, fo…

Hmm… maybe you want to use object settings:

With fields like Trust Level, group, title.
