I am planning to load a large number of members into an XOOPS instance from a database. I think that I only need to insert records into the users and groups_users_link tables for each user. Am I missing any other steps?

Also, I assume the password is just a MySQL MD5 hash. Is that correct also?

Is there an existing PHP function to add a user that is better than using SQL inserts?

Thanks!

If there is a better way, I haven't found it. I exported the users table to CSV. Then using one user line as a guide, I used Excel to populate rows with the information (userid, pw etc.) Saved this to CSV and imported back to the table. Did the same with groups table. Seemed to work fine.

I am going to have to do the sme thing in about 2 weeks. I was planning on manual SQL inserts too.

If there is a better way I am not aware of it.
