I am about to implement XOOPS for an intranet system and need to import about 150 - 200 users. My question is should my plan work as described below.

1. create a user with defaults that i want to use for each of my intranet users

2. insert into a new xooops_users table each of my users with the same default settings as the user created in step one, but each user will have a differnet username and password.

3. loop through the table and md5 each password using the MySQL md5 function

4. insert the current XOOPS administrator data to the table

5. switch the current XOOPS user table with the new one created

6. log into XOOPS and regroup all the users

Thanks for any advice and by the way XOOPS ROCKS!

That sounds like a plan. I am doing the exact same thing...

Could you detail Number 3 for me. I was going to reset the passwords manually after the import. I would like a better way.
