Topic: import users / accounts

[kadybee]

Can anyone point me in the right direction for scripts to import users to SME (6) from a CSV file.

I know I have seen a script other than Darrel May's - this one was more elaborate - I just can't seem to find it again (now that I need it ).


Thanks

Klaus

Thanks, good stuff, but not the one I was looking for.

I actually just found it (after another 30mins of digging and searching). The one I was looking for is:

http://nx.dyndns.info/sme/adduser/adduser.php

Which I found through:

http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/Users

I mention that's where I found it as I would have thought my multitude of relevant searches on the site would have found it!  Alas no.

Script says up to SME 5.6. Can you "certify" it for 6.x?

Yes, I can confirm it works on SME6 - I used it twice today on different machines and can see no issues as yet.

It would be nice to see a pseudonym addition to it as well, but what it has is good.  It ensures your import file has the correct syntax and doesn't break any system account rules before it starts the process - this is so much better than many other scripts that will start a lengthy process and THEN tell you "can't do" just as you walk away to get the coffee!

If you use the Groups option, you need to set those up first and subscribing to multi groups is not a problem.
