Ok, so I got the file to work, but now when I preview the user accounts then click submit, all I get is a blank white screen.  It doesn't create them or anything, just a blank screen.  Anyone else have this problem??  I have over 1400 members, so I've broken it up into 4 separate files so as to not overwhelm my server.

Never mind, I apparently still had too many to a file.

Liz 239 days ago

Liz, I'm glad you got it working. For some reason the process of creating user accounts is quite heavy for the database, but it also depends on the amount of other information you have in the file. We are not using this plugin extensively yet but I if we run into similar problems I'll try to boost up the performance in possible future releases.

This would be really be a very useful plugin.

I could upload a csv file. It got properly picked up and showed me the user lists.

But when I clicked "Create User Accounts", it displayed

• Total number of accounts: 0
• Number of errors:   

The php log file shows the following:

Undefined property: stdClass::$language in E:\...\elgg1.5\engine\lib\languages.php on line 87

Any clue on this ?

Hi Jaakko

I had problems with uploading a csv, I kept getting errors, but I fixed them :-)

So for anyone else getting a CSV error try this:

1. Download notepad++

2. Open your file and make sure the field names are all in lower case

3. Press Format - Convert to UTF 8 without BOM

4. Then ensure the file is in UNIX format by: Format -> Convert to Unix format

5. Save the file and upload and that should do it.

This works for me, might not for others, good luck x-D

Hey Jaakko,

      Version 2.0 no longer allows me to create accounts with the email address as a username. Was this intentional? is this new to elgg v1.6? 

        Thanks,

Hi Kirby,

I've just been off my computer for a month and I didn't even know about versin 1.6 until now :) I'll be back to work pretty soon and I'll look into this later on. If I remember correctly there are no changes regarding the username format between versions 0.1 and 0.2, so I guess this is something new in Elgg 1.6. But I'm not sure until I can try the new version myself.

I'm almost looking forward to getting back to work ;)

is possible to import and set a default language? i did try to add the field language and in the rows put en or es (for spanish) and didn't work

melvyn 165 days ago

@melvyn I think this should be possible but I've never tried it myself. That's something that would be useful for our Finnish users as well so I think I will try this later on.

There's also a small bug in sending emails and I'll try to fix this soon.

Jaakko Naakka 165 days ago

ohh thanks, if you can tell me how is the process for import a default language can be nice, well i saw when you select No send emails, always send a email to all the users uploaded

Hi folks, and Jaakko, many thanks for a truly useful plugin. This is going to save lots of work for many administrators!

My question is how might a person import an original "date joined" and update the Elgg field with the real date rather than having it default to the date the script was run?

And for that matter, are there any other "system" fields that may benefit from having the original values captured?

Does this plugin work with 1.6.1? 

Can I make so users that get registered also are put in to/joined to groups?

...Have you tested your plugin on 1.7 alpha?  Is it going to be ready for 1.7?  It is a critical plugin, for many of us.  Thanks!

how to create a CSV file

or put a demo here.

i tried with ms-excel, ms-word, notepad...

i am unable to make a proper file

as the system places an error, "wrong csv file"

Hi saifee,

I think your problem has something to do with the line endings. I know I should fix the plugin but at the moment I'm busy with other projects and this is not a priority. Using notepad should work just fine, check out the example in the release notes in the start of this page.
