Hi Everyone, I am buzzy with deep diving into Discourse (just run one on Vultr :slight_smile: ). After one of my questions about group tagging Group tagging notification (allow groups to be tagged). Now I was wondering if it is possible to give all users a group tag by default (without manual work…

If you change the name through admin/customize/site_texts it should also travel through to menu dropdowns and @mentions, etc :+1: Actually, I’m not sure I’ve tested an @mention. Let me just go check… I’ve checked, and it does. :+1: [image]

That doesn’t reach everyone, AFAIK. I can mix that with @here, though. There is max users notified per group mention setting, but I don’t know can it be like infinite or ridiculous big.

Well I want to be able to mention @all for example. And that would reach all users on the platform. When renaming @trust_level_0 (group) to @all and tag them in a message, all the users would get a notification? When someone gets a higher trust level, will this user also be disconnected from the @t…

[image] Daan: will this user also be disconnected from the @trust_level_0 group No. Everyone is there. That is different story if TL1 would be better choise, meaning everyone better than TL0.

The only problem is that you cannot rename the trust_level_group_0 https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-it-possible-to-rename-the-trust-level-0-group-to-something-else/96639 . But you can set up a hook in discourse that pings an endpoint, which in turn tells the discourse api to add a user to a group, on…

You can rename default groups through admin/customize/site_texts :+1: To change trust level 0 it would be groups.default_names.trust_level_0 It can’t share a name with an existing user or group, or the rename will not take. The change takes place as part of a background job, so will be updated when…

I was wondering why it took so long to update (was testing it out). But when you change the name of the group, would it be possible to mention it by @newGroupname?

You can rename it. It will just be confusing to anyone who’s familiar with discourse and tries to help out later. It’s likely to cause more problems than it solves, but I don’t know that community, just a few hundreds that I’ve helped out here. I could be wrong.

The reason I ask this is if you use, for example, an authentication layer from Google (oauth2), you cannot assign a member to a certain group by hand every time, so whether you: Must change the default group name Triggering a webhook with a (PHP) script that creates a callback, adding the user to …

No. Create a group and add people. Then they can mention @group.

Do not rename default groups. It’ll be confusing (if it will let you).
