Is it possible to import a list of members onto a board?

basically I have a company-only board and want to pre-register everyone to use it. Thats 200 users. Do I have to go through the process 200 times, or get one of my poor team to do it, or can we use a csv or something similar?

Cheers in advance

It is possible to craft a CSV file that can be imported... the hard part is actually then creating the spec file needed by the importer to map the CSV fields properly.

This topic on UBBDev is a bit out of date, but will give you an idea of what you'd need to do.

That manual entry option isn't looking so bad now, is it? <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Do be warned that if you do it that way, from the control panel, only one user can create other users at a time.

holy cr*p.

Erm....Maybe I'll get a temp to do it. Or a student....or someone whos really annoyed me <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

:sniff: a man after my own heart <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ... Anything having to do with the importer can be a lengthy process if one doesn't know what they're doing <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
