I need to add a group of new member data. Is there a way to add members in batches via the CP or is this a custom job? Thanks.

If you’re talking hundreds and you’ve got the information in a delimited text file, inserting it directly into the MySQL table is probably the best bet, but yes, that type of data insertion is going to take a custom routine.

Hi I’m interested to find out too. I’ve got a project that requires the pre-populating of 1,700 logins. Say I do it via SQL, can someone tell me which table(s) to populate and which fields to fill? I’m just afraid to fill it in and have the system break because certain fields are not filled.
