The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Hey Berdir and everyone,
I've been testing the D7 version and noticed that adding the "[user]" suffix to specify the user (rather than the role with the same name) doesn't seem to work. I'm getting a message that the user isn't valid.
Basically, if you have a user named "editor" as well as a role named "editor," you can't specify "editor [user]" to send a message to the user (and not the role).
This functionality exists in the D6 version, but doesn't seem to work yet in D7....

berdirPretty obvious when you think about it. name [user] is not a valid user name, so we need to remove [user] before checking if it is a valid username.

BenK commentedThanks! I tested this with several different combinations and everything works great, just as expected. So I think this is ready to be committed! :-)

soulfroysI have the newest 6.x-2.x-dev version and a editor role too... "editor, editor [user]" doesn't work. Did I miss something?
Comment #6
berdirYes, you are. This simply has not been ported to 6.x-2.x, it has only been commited to 7.x-1.x. This will most certainly be ported in the next few days, probably tomorrow.
Comment #7
berdirPorted and commited.
