Programmatically add multiple users

[MrKing]

Hi,

I am hoping to be able to use processwire for a charity with over 900 members and about 90 interest groups.

One of the deciding factors (and there are many) is whether I would be able, as the admin, to add all my existing members, all the interest groups and all the group membership data programatically. As you might imagine, I would not want to do this by hand.

I have written data upload scripts for a 'home brewed' experimental site but would much prefer to use processwire as the foundation of our site, if possible.

Many thanks.

Here's some code for importing pages/users from csv-file:

Install this module and run Batch Create Users

Allows you to batch create users. This module requires the Email New User module and it should be configured to generate a password automatically.

Thank you Mats and dragan.

Your forum is great. I have never experienced one so responsive and useful; and I belong to many forums.

Hi MrKing,

if the above tips doesn't suite your needs, I can provide you example scripts of individual imports.
