Upload of Database?

If I have a database I want to upload to make instant members can that be done and is there an app for it?  I have a mysql table with the information to import?

take a look at the dolphin 7 db  table 'profiles' it'll give you an idea of what your sql table should look like

Well my question is durning the join process does something get triggered during that process or is it just data that the site will see?  I've seen the table tried to upload to it with one file but didn't do so good need to try harder I guess...... Just have this block in my head saying there must be something that happens when a person joins that won't happen if you upload to the database? Have no reason to think this just wondering?

Well, I just peeked in join.php code and didn't find an INSERT query, so I'm guessing a lot of the work is done in the classes and fuctions called from join.php.  So it doesn't look like it'll be real easy to track down, but you can start working you way from there to say what in addition to inserting the database records must be done. (graphic image files?)

 

And as others have said, you'll probably have to look at the table structures and write a script to convert your exisiting userbase to the format needed for Dolphin.

Why do you want to take the long route for this?  It's a lot faster & simple to write a basic SQL Query to inject them by using the Profile_Fields table.  That's going to be a lot quicker than attempting to follow the route of join.php and in the end you'll just end up doing the same exact thing.

If you know for sure the profile data is stored in one table then definitely.  But to play it safe, I'd look through the code to make sure there isn't data in other tables and especially things outside of the database itself.

 

I just did, and it does appear Profiles table is it.  There is some code concerning couple accounts and creating the cache file.

A quick jigglinf of the blocks in the Page Builders will take care of re-compiling the page_view.php file.
