NEEDED: Mass User Import
 

I have a newsletter list of about 27,000 subscribers. I would like to start using Commbull Community Bulletin to send my newsletters. I only have about 9000 users on my board. I'd like all 27K of my subscribers to be forum users.

So here is what I need -- a script that will:

Import a list of user's NAME|EMAIL (either by upload or by taking the info from the same database)

If the user's email is already in the database, skip it

Create a new user with name, email, password and "Imported" into field X

If there is no user name, make user "Member userid"

Automatically activate the user

Email login information to the user

REPEAT UNTIL DONE




I'm willing to pay for the script.

I think impex would do this with a csv list ...

if you are willing to pay for this hack to be made professionally, you have the Services Request forum in the bottom of the main forums here to help you...

as Reeve is telling you, there is a Import/Export script call ImpEx, you can be informed here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=92 where you can request support for your needs...

If you're willing to pay for your request, then it belongs in the Service Request forum and not here. But since it involves Impex which you won't have to pay since you have a vB license, I won't bother moving it.

Impex wasn't the answer. I paid someone to write the hack and (with a few bumps) managed to do it. :)

Hi,

Would you be willing to share this hack. Right now i have about 500 members whos passwords i need to sync between aMember and vb.

you can email me if you like group808 at hotmail.com

If i remember correctly, Impex doesn't import the passwords
They all need to be reset.
