Front End Users module user import Questions

[vfreriks]

I've been trying to import a single user as a test for a while now but even using only 2 additional fields the import fails.

I'm using CMSMS version 1.8.2 with FEU version 1.12.5

When I export a manually added user the following is returned:

Code: Select all

##userid,username,createdate,expires,groupname,"firstname","lastname"
8,test@test.com,2010-12-08 16:17:14,2025-01-01 23:59:59,"test","John","Doe"

When I change these values to:

Code: Select all

##userid,username,createdate,expires,groupname,"firstname","lastname"
9,me@me.com,2010-12-08 16:19:14,2025-01-01 23:59:59,"test","Jane","Doe"

I get the following message: Import Error (line 2): Could not find information for this user

Could someone point me in the direction to solve this? Thanks in advance!

Hi vfreriks,

cfr. the information on the Frontend User Management >> admin page:

* The userid Field - The userid for the user. A value in this field will indicate you are doing an update.

I was experiencing the same issue but it was easily resolved by removing the value in the userid column. (rtfm, i know! lol)

My bad! Added 'Solved' thanks!

That was fast!

Another question regarding the same topic.

I added a property (date) to all users on my site, who are in 3 different groups.

Is is possible to mass update these users? I checked in the database and it seems to store the dates with some kind of encryption.

Thanks in advance!

Couldn't you export to csv, edit the dates and re-import?
This time including "The userid Field"

I guess I could try that... I'll make a copy on my testserver first though, as the site is live already
