Extension talk:ImportUsers/Archive

Version 0.0.3

 * Blank line handling corrected (used to produce error message)
 * Added "UTF-8" to upload control label to suggest that import file should be UTF-8 encoded

Version 0.0.2

 * Initial public release

Compatible with Version 1.8.2
Hi, I wanted to know if this Extension is also working with MediaWiki 1.8.2.

Please contact me: claudia.oswald@gmail.com

THX

Tested with 1.10 - OK!

 * a single test on a siteground hosted site. - works fine -
 * needed to make the minor fix to the message that displays the data format (see below).

Added features to code - only tested with 1.9.3
I added some functionality to this version - and don't know whether I should post as new or just let the original authors decide. These features allow users to be imported, notified, and automatically assigned to groups as they are loaded. --Jpond 22:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

The additional features are:


 * 1) Gives option to send email notifying added users as they are imported (if notification is enabled on wiki)
 * 2) Add user to specified group when adding if box is checked

For imported user to be added to a group the following must be true:


 * 1) Logged on user importing must have 'userrights'
 * 2) The user must have checked the "Add users to groups" box
 * 3) The CSV line must have a group to add to(e.g. approved)
 * 4) The permission requested must be one of the available groups - does not create a new group
 * 5) The user has not already been assigned to that group

If you wanted to add the user(s) to more than one group, you could rerun the import after changing the group in the CSV file, then use the 'Update existing users' checkbox.

The CSV now has up to five columns (first 2 required):


 * 1) username
 * 2) password
 * 3) email
 * 4) real name
 * 5) add to this group [must be existing group]

Delimited with commas. For an example:

user1,pass1,user1@gmail.com,User One, Group 1 user2,pass2,user2@gmail.com,User Two, Group 2 user3,pass3,user3@gmail.com,User Three, Group 3 user4,pass4,user4@gmail.com,User Four, Group 4 user5,pass5,user5@gmail.com,User Five, Group 5 user6,pass6,user6@gmail.com,User Six, Group 6 . . . userN,passN,userN@gmail.com,User Nnn, Group nnn

New, Modified Code - Tested on MediaWiki V 1.9.3

Added Bonus - MS Excel Template for creating CSV with password generator
This [[Media:ImportCSV with Password Generator.xls| password generator]] might be of use to others.

The second tab is a template for creating csv file using MS Excel. You would use this template and use the file->save as->type=(.csv). Gives a couple of funky messages - but you'll be able to figure those out.

The first tab will actually generate random (or at least as random as MS Excel will allow) passwords. Code is signed.

Hope this helps someone else out. --Jpond 01:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Minor Code Edit
The line: $output.='User file format (csv): &amp;lt;login-name&amp;gt;,&amp;lt;password&amp;gt;,&amp;lt;email&amp;gt;,&amp;lt;real-name&amp;gt;'; was being rendered as: $output.='User file format (csv): </dt><login-name>,, ,<real-name></dd></dl>'; which, when copy-pasted out, was causing the user file format to appear as ",,," on the Special:ImportUsers page. I edited it to read: $output.='User file format (csv): </dt>&amp;amp;lt;login-name&amp;amp;gt;,&amp;amp;lt;password&amp;amp;gt;,&aamp;mp;lt;email&amp;amp;gt;,&amp;amp;lt;real-name&amp;amp;gt;</dd></dl>'; so it would render correctly when copy-pasted.

Header information already sent bug. (WM 1.11)
My mediawiki 1.11 gives errors:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at
 * /wiki/extensions/ImportUser/SpecialImportUser.php:1) in
 * /wiki/includes/WebResponse.php on line 10

Could not find anything relating to this warning... I know production servers have warnings mostly disabled, but imho good script should never yeld warnings.

Anybody suggestions?
