CMS Made Simple Forums

I looked at the Frontend User Module. It indeed gives the functionality of importing users. Unfortunately, the description is very technical. I entered two users and exported the CVS file. I cannot find the password among the entries exported, which seems strange.

Here is an example:
##userid,username,createdate,expires,groupname,"first_name","username","last_name","email","city","state","country","zip"
1,smith@email.com,2009-10-14 18:52:41,2010-06-07 23:59:59,"Registered","Tom","smith","Smith","smith@email.com","London","State","UK","20194"

I wonder if it is a bug?

Thanks.

You talk about import and export.
For export, the password would be of no use to you, while it is saved with a hash-encode which is irreversable. Something like 3f94a90cc789e63de2ce3b8d2bf548c6

It's a safety feature 

I can't tell you if this is a bug or if it is intended, but I can confirm that the behavior is the same on my system (CMSMS 1.6.6, FEU 1.6.10.)

In the IMPORT section of the FEU Admin, it does mention that the "Password" field is "todo".  So it would seem to me that if there is no way to import passwords, there is no point in exporting them.

Yeah... I just did a little research and saw this in the pdf about frontendusers on Calguy's site: "This module stores passwords using a one way encryption mechanism, therefore sending the user an existing password, or even exporting the password to a different system is not possible."

On the other hand, it does look like IMPORTING a password with the rest of the user information may work. There are notes about this in the help section of the module. Haven't tried it myself. Will do so this weekend if no one can confirm/deny that importing passwords currently works.

I would try it myself, but cannot get the exact info of how to (actually where to) include the password in the record to be imported. Thanks for the feedback in advance.

Hi,

i have the same problem. I want to import a CSV-file but i get the following errorcode: 'Importeerfout (regel 2): The target table cms_module_feusers_users of the INSERT is not insertable-into' ('importeerfout (regel 2)' is Dutch for 'importing error (line 2)'). The error occurs on every line.

I don't what i'm doing wrong.

CMSMS 1.2.5
FEU 1.4.2

Please help me!

The first thing to do is to get your system upgraded to CMSMS v1.6.6 and FEU 1.6.10.  Older versions are not supported.
