Mass User Import

[matthew tucker]

So ... did you pull it off in the end??

If so, can you share it?

We have an external membership database (filemaker, but could be exported to csv etc) which has personal and membership information; I'd like to mass-import all our financial users and update their records on a monthly basis so that when they become unfinancial they lose certain privileges on the vbboard. (read: incentive to rejoin)

I can do this currently via an expiry date manually entered into admincp for each user, and cunningly interrogated when a user visits the board, dropping them to a lower privilege usergroup id they are not financial. They can also see when they log in how many days left they have on their membership.

But I'd like to do it for all users in an automatic sort of way. :ermm:
