Tarefa Rake para mesclar usuários

A partir da versão Discourse 2.5.0.beta3, os administradores do site podem mesclar usuários que não são da equipe sem precisar acessar o console. Por segurança, usuários da equipe ainda precisarão ser mesclados via console.

Acesse a página de administração de usuários e selecione “Mesclar” na parte inferior da página.

Insira o nome de usuário no qual a conta deve ser mesclada e clique em “Transferir e excluir @nome_de_usuario” para iniciar o processo de mesclagem.


A tarefa rake para mesclar usuários agora está disponível em tests-passed. :sunny:

Usuários podem ser mesclados executando:

rake users:merge['source_username','target_username']

(obs: certifique-se de que não há espaço antes ou depois da vírgula)

Isso mescla os dados do usuário de origem no usuário de destino antes de excluir o usuário de origem. O conteúdo de 45 tabelas é mesclado, então, dependendo da quantidade de dados associada ao usuário de origem, esse processo pode levar algum tempo.

Desenvolvedores de plugins podem integrar-se ao processo de mesclagem ao lidar com o evento :merging_users. Já implementei isso para o plugin de enquetes, que mescla os votos dos dois usuários mesclados.

Problemas conhecidos:

  1. Links de entrada que ainda referenciam o usuário de origem (por exemplo, https://talk.example.com/t/some-topic/17/3?u=source_username) não serão associados ao usuário de destino.

  2. Um usuário pode ter apenas um usuário sombra (da funcionalidade allow anonymous posting). Portanto, se ambos os usuários mesclados tinham um usuário sombra, aquele pertencente ao usuário de origem será perdido… bem, ele ainda estará lá, mas não estará mais associado a um usuário existente.

Ooh… That’s the most exciting part of this to me.

We should try this out on some of the accounts at rubytalk.org … a great little test site, Matz has like 5 emails.

Thank you for this feature, it is huge for my use case! I am currently porting our forums from phpBB to Discourse and wanted to use SSO via a custom provider. Since we could not easily link SSO accounts to our legacy accounts and works flawlessly!

If anyone else is going to use this make a note of this:

rake users:merge['mattbr_sso', 'mattbr_legacy'] will not work as expected, the SSO will not go through. However:

rake users:merge['mattbr_legacy', 'mattbr_sso'] works perfectly and allows you to migrate all the posts into the SSO account.

Thanks for the feature :slight_smile:

I’m super excited about this, but can’t see any mention of webhooks in this topic. Is this planned @gerhard?

How are webhooks relevant to this?

When using the ‘User Event’-webhook created or login (or approved?) the duplicates will be existent on a connected site as well and one might want an automatism to clean them up as well, if the connected site supports that.

I haven’t used webhooks yet but plan to. On my connected site (using Discourse as SSO provider) the users are only created at first login for now.
+ I had duplicate users in my old forum before migrating to Discourse which I was looking forward to consolidate once this feature becomes available.

I had another user question about this today, He also asked about the “Created” field in his profile.

  1. Is this function going to be implemented in the GUI, or will it stay a rake task?
  2. Will (or has) the rake task be(en) changed to handle mentions and quotes?
  3. Would it be possible to set “Created” to the date of the oldest owned post?

It will stay a rake task for now.

Yes, it will. I should be able to make this happen for the 2.0 release.

You will have to update the user’s created_at manually if you want to set it to the oldest post. The merge process uses the created_at from either the source or target user – whatever date is earlier.

This being the case, if as a hosted customer I have accounts to be merged, should I ping the details through to the Discourse team for actioning?

Sure that sounds fine. We also need to exercise the feature internally to make sure it is working right.

Quick update: Merging users now updates mentions, quotes and avatars in posts and revisions. :tada:

Any chance the staff action log could better show what happens to users when they are merged? Here’s how it looks now - just shows that system has deleted the user but no context. The details only show some info about the user that got deleted as a result of the merge.

Sure what do you think @gerhard?

How about adding a staff note along the lines of “Username with email was merged to this account, date

This is what I did when I was merging accounts manually. Probably more work than a staff action log entry, but might be useful information at some point later.

@gerhard we should make sure the task is logged in the staff logs if possible, per above ↑ ↑

Is there an easy way to change which email address is primary?

Here’s my use case:

imported user with email user@defunctdomain.com emails from user@fancynewemail.com which creates a staged user. After a few PMs with the staged user, I merge the accounts, but the primary address is still the old one. And from the web interface I can’t change the email in his profile because it’s already taken. By him.

Perhaps this is a bug in the multiple email address model and not a complaint for here.

The simple solution, which took me much to long to come up with, is to delete the old address.

Merging users always preserves the existing data of the target_user, so the email address of the source_user is only added as secondary email address.

Yeah, that’s the solution.

Is there something easier that I should do?
I need to keep the old username with the new email. The staged user is the real problem. Perhaps I should just delete the staged user, but then I don’t have an easy way to reply to them to tell them what happened.

It’s pretty cumbersome to merge[‘newname_newemail’,'oldname_bogusemail"] and then have to do something like

u=User.find_by_username['oldname_bogusemail']
ue=UserEmail.where(user_id: u.id)
ue[0].destroy
ue[1].active=true
ue[1].save

is there some easier way that I’m missing?
