Hi guys.
I have few users to rename on a forum and I also want to update the mentions. There is any chance i can do this with some kind of console magic or something similar?
The usernames that I have to change are pretty unique, and there are zero chances to replace something wrong (unless there is some serialization involved, dunno)
Thanks!
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
discourse remap " @bob " " @bill "
but this is a very high risk move, I would back up db first and test it on dev, it performs a global rename on all columns in all tables.
Personally I would just skip doing this or write something custom that only targets mentions.
The usernames that needs to be changed are very unique (i.e. facebook usernames + a random string, from a modifiev version of SSO plugin for WordPress).
Anyhow, I ran the commands and no luck (also rebuild the app), until i realized that it runs better without spaces 
So it works fine! Thank you.
