Add new Users (automatically)

[F5-MVH]

Using the class ForumOps (which by the way is brilliant)...... I am trying to figure out how to pass a delimited txt file of user information to it. Any help would be appreciated.

To elaborate - We have a corporate text file with the following
'user name','email address'

I need to generate new VBulletin accounts for all them.

Cheers!
Dave

Hi,

I am now able to programmatically add user by modifying script above but I have a problem when I tried to insert user from our existing database that has more than 25 character. I?m getting an error ?Username cannot be longer than 25 characters?. Can you guide me on how can I disable the maximum characters allowed for username?

I have basic knowledge in php and I look through the following included files but I can't see the function for validation the maximum length.

require_once('./global.php');
require_once('./includes/class_dm.php');
require_once('./includes/class_dm_user.php');

Anybody have done this before?

Thanks!

lanzeym, sounds like you may need to make your existing database field for username larger than 25 characters.

hi bigtime!

The save() methods uses vBulletin "user" table that has varchar(100) length, so there's no need for changing field lenght. There should be a hard coded "maxlength" that I don't know where it is.

Oops, I misunderstood. I thought you were inserting users into your existing database...

here's how to remove the validation.

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > User Registration Options > Maximum Username Length

Anybody can help with code example for manual users registration and login for vb 4 ?

I'm trying to add a new user with VB 4.0.

I'm using the latest snippet of code but when I do $newuser->save(); it saves the record to the db but return to a Database error page ( of VB ).

What can I do?

--------------- Added [DATE]1279029801[/DATE] at [TIME]1279029801[/TIME] ---------------

Ok maybe I solved.

For VB 4 you need to add this:

$newuser->pre_save();

before save() or checking errors

Hi,
I am trying to do something similar.
I wrote a class inside a file in the main directory of my forum.
This is the code:

<?php 

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

	class codeigniter_bridge{
		
		function codeigniter_bridge(){
			
			$this->usernamager =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin);  
			
		}
		
		function prova(){
			
			return $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo(1); 
		}
	}


?>

I receive this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function do_db_fetch() on a non-object in /var/www/cyberludus.com/system/forum/includes/init.php on line 308

Where I do wrong?
Thank you

The code seems to be working, but when in debug mode a lot of notices show up. I`d rather they shouldn`t:

PHP Code:

Notice (8): Undefined index:  username [/home/path2vb/forum/includes/class_dm_user.php, line 419]
Notice (8): Undefined index:  userid [/home/path2vb/forum/includes/class_dm_user.php, line 421]

Notice (8): Only variable references should be returned by reference [/home/path2vb/forum/includes/class_dm.php, line 294] 


Then I got a question, is it possibile to add an user in an inactive state, and only after a third party email validation, enable him/her? I couldn`t find any column in the vb_user table that indicates this active/inactive state, any help?
