Hello,
I have to import 2000 users from an old Ez installation (3.6.12) to new installation (4.4) and I've already seen all old topics in this forum but without success. All users belong to the same user-group.
I read above all this topics:
but I haven't solved the problem.
In the old installation doesn't exist the ezcsvexport.php file so I've installed the "extract" extension that allowed me to extract all users in a CSV file. This exportation works fine but now I don't know how to import this file in a new installation. I tried with the ezcsvimport.php and it seemed to go well but the users cannot be viewed in Admin Area (I receive Data Error. message).
Is there a way to import all these users?

Hi Simone,
You made me curious and look into the ezcsvimport script. Would it be possible to get a few rows from that export you have, say for 5 users? You could change names and e-mail addresses of course if you do not want me to look at any private data. I'd love to try and see if I can get the import to work, see if I run into your problem or not with the users not being visible in the admin.

Hi Simone
Maybe you should consider using SQLIImport. With it, you could develop an import handler in order to process all your users exported in a CSV file.

I've looked at the import a few times but have not figured out how to get it to work. Have you moved ahead with this already?

Hi Robin,
unfortunately I didn't found a solution and so we decided to manually enter the contents in new web site.
Anyway, thanks so much for your help!
