Hi Andy. The important thing to understand is that SQLIImport is an import framework. It is meant to aid developers in doing imports in eZPublish. There is no such thing as a prexisting import solution for users. Others in the forum suggest that you look into the code to define your own import handler. If you are not a developer you need to a wait for someone else to come up with an sqliimport handler that may be used for your actual situation. Remember that users (similar to other objects in the system) need to be imported from a datasource. This datasource may be unique for you and thus it would either require the handler to be in a given format, that is the name of the columns in the csv file , the ordering of the user data. The best take for you is either to look into the extension sqliimport and use this a starting point, but this does require you to understand programming as you need to map your datasource fields to the objects in the system. If the first approach is not for you.. try to request someone to develop such a handler where you state your requirements. It could be that you have added new fields to your userclass which other installations do not have. I hope this gave you some more understanding of the SQLIImport framework. It is a fantastic import solution and I have used it in numerous projects. I personally am hoping this will become defacto standard which eZSystems adopt. Feel free to ask further questions. You could try to state your requirements and perhaps someone will find a quick way of doing this (as it should not be very hard for a seasoned developer..). Make sure you include what type of file the datasource is and the name of the columns. If you have not modifed the existing userclass at all, state this also.
