Hi,

Is it possible to import users from a csv file?

I have searched the forum and found a few posts but I haven't found any that describe a simple process to do it.

Thanks,

Andy

Hello

You can do so with SQLIImport extension ;)

I've had a quick look at the extension but can't see any information that explains how to import users.

Have you used it to import users?  Is it a straightforward process?

Is this the easiest way to import users?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andy

Users in Exponential are actually content objects with an ezuser attribute, so it is straightforward :).

I already made an implementation of user import in my JanrainAuth extension (to connect user from social networks like Facebook). Take a look at the JanrainAuth class, in getUser() method.

You also might want to read the SQLIImport fromString() Appendix to learn how to deal with ezuser datatype. Take also a look at the documentation because there is a set of classes to handle CSV files ;).

Cheers !

Has anyone uses the user_import extension?

I've installed it but I can't work out how to use it.

Can be that this isn't compatible with your ez version.

Try the sqliimport extension first, looks good :)
