How can I import a few thousand editor accounts, with the encrypted password?

Hi, Marc Lamaison

Whence do you wish to import editors accounts?

Hi, Marc Lamaison

Whence do you wish to import editors accounts?

Currently I have a existing directory I built that requires users to register before submitting a link to the directory. I then create them a password. They then use their email address and password to login and manage their links.

I am trying to migrate these users to eSyndicat. But I realize I just can't import them as the password field is encrypted in that table.

Actually it's easy to encrypt a password. We use MD5 encryption method. So you could even manually change your passwords ;)
phpMyAdmin -> editors table -> click browse
choose any account and click edit
you will see a list of fields - simply choose MD5 for in your function field
That's all. But I think it's better to wait until I prepare a migration script for you
