What this is.
This script will allow you to create mass users with just a few customizations (or you can just use the defaults which are pretty good).
You may want to use this to make your forum seem more popular, for testing purposes or any other need.
The username, password and email of each user created will be outputted to your page once created. I recommend you save this for access to the accounts (unless you have the CYB login to user mod).
The username is created by taking a random base name out an array and appending it with numbers.
The password is completely random - alphanumeric.
The email is based on the username with a few more digits added and a random domain selected.

howto install
  1. Upload file to your forum root
  2. Open yourdomain.com/forum/(usergenerate.php / usergenv2.php)
  3. Follow instructions and customize the users to be created.
  4. Press submit.

You provide from the following when mass creating users:
  • Amount - Only input required. I recommend no more than 50 per time.
  • Usergroup - which usergroup all users will be put into.
  • Usertitle - the usertitle the users will have.
  • Password - If not set a random password will be generated else the same password will be used for all users created.
  • Email - If not set an email will be created based on the username else all users will have the same email address (Automatically allows this, no vbulletin option editing required).
  • Username generating - How to generate the usernames (default list, your own file or online list).
  • Auto posting - Whether or not to post a thread by each user, if selected you can choose whether the post and title come from the default list, your own file or online.
With this info you can either generate the users straightaway or preview the results in a table.
I will add more customizations if requested, but only to those that mark as installed!

I recommend you rename this file as anybody can access it at present.

There may be a few bugs, so please post any you find.

ToDo:
  • added!Add an option so that the users will automatically post an introduction.
  • added!Add more user names to array.
  • added! Add username and email checks so that no duplicate entry errors occur (Unlikely that they will though).
  • Add security (Everyone can access this script at the moment).
  • added! Style generated results with CSS.
  • added! Add javascript functions for ease of use.

You can help by posting arrays of generic usernames.
E.G.
PHP Code:
$user = array('spice''magicman''badger'); 
If you would like to add to the username array so that the usernames do not seem repetitive please post an array like above with at least 20 usernames in.

You need to make the birthday random and have the year added. It showed in memberlist the last 10 reg. users all born in November 30, not good.

And another issue: the 'Find' button is added in memberlist, when it normally only shows if the user actually has posts. Another giveaway.

An option to write a list of custom topics+titles for the fake users to post in admincp would be great.

I needed a way to generate users for load and addon testing and this hit the spot.
Worked fine for 3.7
