Hi Phil,

Never done this but you could try a combination of MemberExport and CMSImport.  Both packages are written by the same person (Richard Soeteman) so I would imagine they play nicely together :)  I've used both but never together, but if any problems Richard provides excellent support!

Thanks Tom,

I wont be able to test this until tomorrow but i will feedback after i give it a try.

Hi,

Yes you can use MemberExport and CMSImport to do this. Only thing you need to do during import of the members is to set password format to plain text. Otherwise your hashed password will be hashed again and passwords don't work anymore.

After import set the password format to hashed again and all should work.

Profile pictures can also be done but you need the Pro version of CMSImport to do this. And it requires a bit of configuration since both environments will use the same media folder. But there are several ways to work around this. You might want to try without importing images first.

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard,

I installed MemberExport and download member data is csv file. Can you please advise how do I export to my new umbraco website?

Thanks,

Jazz

Hi Jazz, you need to get the memberImport package on your new site to import the csv of your members. if you have any media items with your members ie profile pictures take a copy of your whole media folder, rename it, add it to the directory of your new site and do a find an replace in your csv to update the file paths to the renamed media folder in your sites directory.

Hi Phil, Thanks for your reply. Is there any free/trial version of memberImport package?

its free up to 200 members (i think) i had 4000 so had to pay 99 euro http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/cmsimport. 

Hi Phil,

Thanks for link. I installed cmsimport package but it do not show in Developer section. Any idea please?

Logout from admin console and login again. Tree on the developer section could be cached.

Cheers,.

Richard

i think i had to restart the site in iis and refresh the app pool as well... 

Thanks Richard,

I did that many times but still not showing. But when I right click on any page in Content section it shows import data there at the end. As I only want to import members so when I follow steps here it ask me for page document types etc. Please advise?

Regards,

Jazz

jazz, see my comment on page one. same happened with me. :)

Thanks Phil,

I restarted the site and it's showing in Developer section.. Thanks again...cheers

Hi Guys,

Now getting an error while Creating Mapping. At first time default columns selected automatically see below

but when I click next it come with errror "Login is required"

Please advise if I'm missing anything..

Thanks,

Jazz

That's weird, tahts should not happen, maybe it's the file format is it possible to send me that so I can create a fix richard[at]soetemansoftware[.]nl

Thanks,

Richard

richard this was the same error i encountered. jazz, to get around this i exported the old members as an excel file. you will need to install a driver on the server/machine your new site is running on to then import the users. if i remember correctly theres a link to the driver when you select the excel option on the new site,

Please check your email..cheers

Hi Phil,

But it only shows three options (csv, SqlServer and XML) in Datasource type.

Do I need to install excel on my server.

Regards,

Jazz

Hi Jazz,

That option is only in pro. I send you an email. The export could contain a , in the password then it will break on import. I will fix that in a later release for now set textindicator to " when exporting.

Thanks,

Richard 

I can confirm this is a bug. I have another umbrao site where I have the same problem. Will let you know when I have a fix

Thanks Guys,

Its fixed now. I just export my csv into sql and select Sql DataSource instead of csv in import.

Regards,

Jazz

is working on a reply...
