Greetings:
Our school site running Snitz has a need to batch enter large groups of students into the database. My thought was that we could create an ASP page that reads a text file and then stuffs the appropriate fields into the FORUM_MEMBERS table.
Question #1: Has this wheel already been invented? I couldn't find a reference to any such tool here but it's kind of a difficult thing to search for. If there is alreay a mod to do this, that would be great.
Question #2: If not, how hard would it be to accomplish? It seems to me that all you would have to do is read the text file line by line and add the data as appropriate (encrypting the PW of course using the SHA functionality.) I am fairly good with ASP and databases so I don't need much to go on. Basically I just need to know what fields at a minimum need to be populated in FORUM_MEMBERS and if any other tables need to be populated at the same time. Also, any "gotchas" that might creep in.
Anyone knowledgable enough with the way Snitz works to answer the above would be much appreciated! If not, I guess I'll go an do some reverse engineering on the code. TIA!
