Is there a mod out there that lets the forum admin add alot of members without going through and registering each of them because im working with an organization that does tha because they have online "classroms" and add over 200 people at a time...thanks
i dont know about sql server but you could do the same for MySql and almost any decent MySql control tool will let you just click "import from file" and select the file if you have the names in access you could try doing a search for converting access -> MSSql or Access -> MySql and using the same technique to import the data as people have used to swap database types for their forums.
I was looking into mass-loading users as well, and just found this topic...
It seems like you could upload into the table with Access too, but as I am looking at the database table, I see that the passwords are encrypted. How would I go about uploading encrypted passwords, or would it even be necessary to upload passwords? Any thoughts? I was thinking that even if I can't upload, I could enter them directly in Access - it would still be faster than going through the registration each time.
Kinda skeered to mess with the tables right now, though... don't want it to blow up after all this configurating I've been doing... thanks in advance for any suggestions you have.
