#1166 Groups: Change group names
Closed: Fixed Opened by jflory7.

Problem

When using Pagure over time, you may find that the original name you used for naming your group is no longer desired. The publicly visible display name of a group should be able to be changed so a group creator or administrator can change the display name of the group.

Example

The example I had in mind specifically for this is "CommOps" to "fedora-commops", so it would fit in with other Fedora-related groups in Pagure.


For this we will need to give the concept of display_name to the groups

@pingou Maybe also worth considering if it would be a good idea to maybe make the current form of names / URL slug something configurable too.

make the current form of names / URL slug something configurable too.

I am not sure I follow you here

@pingou Hmmm, I mean to say, if there would become two names, display_name and group_name, where the first is just what shows up on the page and the second is in the URL, e.g. pagure.io/group/SuperAmazingDevelopers, you could change both separately.

For instance, looking at the CommOps group:

  • display_name: Fedora Community Operations (CommOps)
  • group_name: pagure.io/group/fedora-commops

Ok so this is the same idea than what I had with the exception that I do not
want the group_name to be changeable. This could potentially lead to issues if
people rename their group then someone comes and use one of the old name.
I prefer the group name to be unique and fix and the display name to be unique
and changeable.

Not sure if i want to open a new issue, but should we also provide the ability for people to add a description for the group as well? So the group can specify a sentence or two for what the group is and does.

Both features are present in #1208

@pingou changed the status to Fixed
