Hello, I am currently working on a specific plugin but couldn’t figure where to start yet (I read the introductory material here and installed some simple plugins and played with their source a bit). The setup: I have a csv file that contains several usernames from the system and some tags they are…

One thing you’ll need to do on the rails side is add those user/tag relations to the serializer so that those data are available to the front end. Look for some other plugins that call add_to_serializer or search for it in the discourse source, as it’s well documented there. Then you’ll be able to …

Thank you for the information. The mental model that I have right now is, I should add a custom field to tags (like tag_description) called attached_users.

Thanks a lot for providing a very nice roadmap, I am on it! Small question: [afbeelding] Angus McLeod: go into users profiles and update it based on your CSV file. Does this part have to be manual using this approach (by manual, I mean adding entries one by one via an interface)? Ideally, I …

No it doesn’t need to be manual. There are quite a few different ways you could fill out the user custom fields based on the CSV. It really depends on how you want to handle the updates. I’d suggest doing the other parts first and just testing this out with a small dataset. Then if you’re happy with…

Using assign seems like a good idea. I’m pretty sure that you could add users with the API. See How to reverse engineer the Discourse API
