Hey guys, same problem here. I followed the guidelines:
  • I downloaded the zip file that is in the first page of this topic
  • I unzipped it in my PC, it looks like Image 1.

  • I uploaded all the files and their folders in the root of my forum, see Image 2. As you can see I was so desperate I even uploaded the whole csv_user_import folder there just to be sure ...

The forum version is 3.0.12. Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong?

If you enable in there ACP -> Users and Groups you dont see this.

But you need to enable ACP -> users Groups -> Users and all is done.

Many thanks to the author of this tool and everyone in this thread who posted useful information :P
I was able to create 5000+ users without much issues.

One problem that I found was that the first user in the csv was always reported as "already exists" so I created a dummy user for the first line of the csv.
I also has some users with a blank space as last character of their username, those would clash with the same username without the space at the end so I had to rename them before import.
There was also one user with a username like this "John > The Master" where the ">" seemed to be a problem.

You are not wrong - no 3.0 mod will work with 3.1

Guess that is why I am getting:

[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/includes/acp/acp_import_users.php on line 188: include(./../includes/functions_profile_fields.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/includes/acp/acp_import_users.php on line 188: include(./../includes/functions_profile_fields.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Will there be a version for phpBB 3.1.3?

In short: Not by me.

In detail: I had updated and maintained the previous version because I needed the function.
But now I have imported my user database. I no longer need this. I am working on several other open Source projects not related to phpBB so I have no time to invest in learning the new 3.1 plug-in interface. Sorry.

Anyone can take over the code and continue to maintain it. That's how Open Source works. Don't hesitate to contribute.

Will this tool produce any output regarding invalid usernames? Am I safe in assuming passwords valid for phpBB 3.0.x will also be valid for 3.1.x? I'll want to rename any invalid ones so that posts from all users can be imported as well.

Does anyone know how to escape apostrophes in user names so that the Import tool will accept them?

e.g. "Test O'Tester"


Thanks,

Wilson.

Ignore me. This does not work in the V1.0.0 version but does work in the V1.2.4 version.

Cheers,

I cannot get this installed.
I extracted the content of csv_user_import_V1.2.4.zip to the root of my phpbb 3.0.14 (public_html/forum/), but I don't see where I need to install/enable it.

Under System -> MODULE MANAGEMENT -> Administration Control Panel -> Users and Groups -> Users, there is no "Import Users" option.

I know I probably did something wrong, but the author (no offense, I am thankful for the plugin) did not do a very good job in explaining how to get this to work.

So lets start from scratch: Could someone explain where exactly the files need to be and where exactly I need to navigate in my Admin Control Panel?

did you open and read the installation instructions found in the MOD folder?

csv_user_import/install.xml

just double click to open that file in your browser.

all you do with this is copy all the files/folders that are in the MOD's folder named "root" into the root of your board.

then, in the admin panel follow the instructions to enable the module.

once you have added the module, go back to the module page and scroll down until you see it listed then click on the "enable" link.

then, you will see the module listed under the users and groups tab.

I did what you said and copied the content of the root folder to my forum root. It still does not work.
I checked the install.xml multiple times and it does not contain anything that would tell me how to properly install this mod.
