Overview
JomSocial provides you with the easy way to quickly export list of all users accompanied with all the data from custom profile fields, avatar paths, their ID's and virtually any information attached to the user object. </br> Likewise, it provides you with the possibility to quickly import users from virtually any list. All you need to have is the user first name, last name and email address.
Export
Exporting users is very simple task. Navigate to Joomla Backend -> JomSocial -> Monitor -> Members then just click at the "Export to CSV" button.
New blank page will be open, but be patient. Depending on the size of your database, exporting process can take a while and CSV file will be automatically downloaded when exporting process is done.
Import Users
The process of importing users is a bit different.
This is because import functionality requires exact formatting of CSV file which is practically impossible to have as JomSocial allows you to have custom profile fields, and in that regard, no JomSocial-based site is the same.
CSV File Format
In order for CSV import to work, you will need CSV file with three (3) column formatted as
- First name
- Last Name
- Email Address
