Title: Import User List
Post by: cdss on September 08, 2009, 21:32:50

Just wondering if there is a way to import a CSV file or some other list with usernames and passwords to create several hundred users at a time.

Is there a way to export the list of users that are already in Elxis?

Why CSV? Try SQL import/export. The best way is to create a small php script for that purpose.

I only suggested CSV because it was a simple format.

Honestly my coding and website development skills are rather basic and while I can read and alter code slightly, I am no coding guru and could not custom code anything for Elxis.

I just figured that if you had a large number of users to input into Elxis there would be an easier way.

Users data are stored in 3 different tables in database and not just one. It is safe to import users only in an empty database by using an SQL backup file you took from an other Elxis installation. If you are not careful with this action you will surely mess-up the site.
