This tool imports users into Joomla and EasySocial from Excel or CSV file. Each user is created as a regular EasySocial user. So you have full control above imported users and they have access to all perks of registered users.

"EasySocial User Import" supports different users data:

• Any of EasySocial custom fields like Address, Telephone, Website.
• Standard Joomla User fields like Username, Name, Email.
• Joomla 3.7+ Fields supported - any custom field you create.

• EasySocial, K2 and AcyMailing native support.

• Groups. You can specify group where users should be imported/migrated,

• Send "Welcome" email to newly created users. Notify new users about registration by send them their logins/passwords and welcome message.

• Password type option. If your file contains plain (non-encrypted) passwords, our import will encrypt them automatically. If file contains Joomla encrypted passwords, they will be imported without additional encryption (This may come in handy when you migrate users from one Joomla website to another).

• Password generation tool is available. If you want to import / migrate users but your file doesn't contain passwords - it is not a problem our extension will create a new password and send it to the users by email.

• Import compatible with Joomla 1.6, 1.7, 2.5, 3.X

• Our import together with export extension can be used to migrate users from one Joomla to another. To migrate users you need to export users into excel/csv first (see "Other Extension" tab on this page).

Usually import of 1 user takes between 0.1 and 0.2 second but mostly it depends on format you use (csv is a little faster) and server configuration.

FAQs:

• Does import utilize the standard functionality of sending out “welcome” mails to users during importing process ?

  Import has its own more advanced "welcome" emails notifications (compared to joomla's), so you can create custom message, specify login, password, links and much more. To enable email notification switch to "Advanced Mode" on step 2.

• Does it support national characters and UTF-8?

  Sure, our import supports all characters from UTF-8, for example: Ü, ß, É, 字 - just be ensured that your file has UTF-8 encoding.

• How to generate passwords automatically ?

  If you don't have passwords in your excel/csv file our import will generate password automatically. Passwords strength will be based on "Joomla Password Options" (go to Admin Panel->Users->Manage->Options->Password Options)

• Is it possible to embed a logo image or list into the notification email ?

  Sure, in popup with email editor switch to "Source code" mode and using HTML you can customize your email template in a way you need.

• Ticket “#XXXX” has been created.

  Fast way to fix this issue is to change settings in Joomla administrator panel. Please go to: "System -> Global Configuration -> Server" and change "Error Reporting" field to "None" value. If it doesn’t help - please contact us and provide us with ticket number.

• Step 3, not all users are going to be imported, why ?

  There are a few reasons why some users might not be imported, e.g. user don't have a Username or user is a duplicate (mentioned second time in file), etc . To find out the reason why some users can’t be imported - you need to hover your mouse over the user in tab “Won’t be imported”.

• I can't upload files more than X MB, why ?

  Maximum file upload size is a global PHP setting (called uploadmaxfilesize), you need to increase this value. Most hosting providers allows to change this setting in your Hosting Control Panel. Also you can ask your system administrator or developer to change it.
