This board is the new home for david63's extensions.
All of the extensions hosted here will need to be treated as a new install as there is no migration from the original ones to these, and furthermore, no support will be given to migrating to any of these extensions from previous versions. Due to the selfishness of certain board members it has become necessary to apply a limit of how many downloads each member can make before making a donation. Once a donation has been made then you will have unlimited downloads.

This extension will add users from an Excel spreadsheet or a CSV file in which there is a Username column and an Email column.
The user will be added with a password that is exactly the same as their Username and upon the first time they log in they will be forced to change their password - as long as this extension is still enabled.
Any user found to have a Username that is already in use will not be added.
Any user row of the input file that does not have a Username will not be added.
Any user row of the input file that does not have an email address will not be added.
Any records in the input file that cannot be added will be reported in the board's Admin log.
Note you strongly recommend that you use this extension on a test board to ensure that it produces the results that are required and that before using it on a live board that the database is backed up as there is no "undo", "revert" or "restore" options available.
when adding users with the mod the users won't have a password. So they have to reset the password with e-mail. At least that is what I understood until now.
After that step they have to change the password again durin login and they are not allowed to skip that. Which was quite surprising for me.
Is this correct and intendet to be that way? Or is it some option in the acp?
I need to add about 200 people. A lot of them are older and not used to IT and stuff so I want to make it as easy as possible for them to join. Ofc I want them to change the password at least once. But twice?
Probably it is my own fault but I have not much of an idea what I do at all... that's why I volunteered to do it for 200 people.
The user will be added with a password that is exactly the same as their Username and upon the first time they log in they will be forced to change their password - as long as this extension is still enabled.

Thank you, now I found it. I swear I tried to RTFM but failed.
In what format should dates be entered?
I have tried several different formats and all the users I have added are showing as joined 'Thu Jan 01, 1970 11:45 am'
