I found that I can't activate the addon "circle_text" in the Admin Settings..
Could it be that the file "group_text.php" should be renamed (maybe to "circle_text.php" )?

Maybe it was forgotten..(?)

Thanks for the catch, to fix this issue, either:

the addon folder should be renamed to group_text to restore the addon active on installs older than the rename.

the addon file should be renamed to circle_text.php for consistency.

Okay. I don't know what the addon does, but I believe there was something with renaming groups to circles? So maybe rename the file to circle_text.php?

It's meant to hide profile pictures in circle edition screens. But if the addon folder is renamed like we did, it will be disabled for installs that had enabled it under its former name.

OK. I don't really understand. You have already renamed the folder..(?) Would that not mean it is already "too late" ?
Then it would be no problem to also rename the file to circle_text.php?

I'm confused..

Yes, like I said there are two ways to fix this issue, both are valid, and I outlined the consequences for each. Maybe I wasn't clear.

As the addon could not be activated in its current form, all the installations that had it running had the groups_name addon activated (and likely it is now broken for them).

Maybe we might want to have the original directory name restored, copied it over to circle_name (there change the file name) and then deprecate the group_name addon so that only the circle_addon is available for new installations but the group_name addon keeps working for those using it.
