batch create members

I've setup a site using Dolphin 6.1. My previous database already has about 500 users information, such as email, pass, address, in Excel/Access format. I, as an admin, would like to batch migrate users to Dolphin new site instead of letting them to do it again.

I was wondering if there is way to pre-populate members in a batch mode from a text file/Excel.

Thanks very much!

Yeah, there is a similar post/question. Seems like it's related with the 'Profiles' table. Not sure if I can just write a script to populate that table to solve my problem. My concern is the encryped password field. Do you know if somebody has a utility script to do that? I'll be keeping digging the posts. Thanks a lot for your helps!

Dolphin passwords are encrypted with MD5 so if your old are the same then you’re good to go  .....

I had the same issue - not as many users as you but almost (350).  When I did my transfer, I made a new field called "password two" with the old password, then in the membership area of the admin panel copied them down manually to the password and confirm password fields one by one.  Probably not what you wanted to hear - I am still at it :-(
