Please check the main features on video or screenshots below to see EasySocial Import workflow.

The main features of "Import Users into EasySocial" product are:

  • Add/create only new users, update existing users or do both actions at once.
  • Password type option. If your file contains plain (non-encrypted) passwords, our import will encrypt them automatically. If file contains Joomla encrypted passwords, they will be imported without additional encryption (This may come useful when you migrate users from one Joomla website to another).
  • Password auto-generation for user. Passwords generated automatically for new users in case if your file doesn't contain passwords.
  • Send "Welcome" email to newly imported users. You can notify newly imported users and send them their logins/passwords. This may be helpful when EasySocial User Import generates passwords automatically.
  • Profiles feature. Are you planning to import users often ? - Just specify settings and save them into Profile. Later on you can start importing by single click at a needed Profile. You can create as many Profiles as you wish (e.g. for different file formats).
  • Manage access to "Import Users" component. Do you need to grant access to this product for certain users group (e.g. Managers) ? - Use "Permissions" settings.
  • High-loaded version. Standard import version is designed for importing up to 5 000 users and optimized version - for huge files up to 100 000 users.
  • Columns order, in file, is not important.
  • Block non-existent users in excel/csv. Each user that is the member of group(s) (you specify before start importing) and not mentioned in Excel/CSV file can be blocked.
  • K2 support. If you have installed K2 component, then all users will be also imported into K2 Users automatically.
  • Import multiple dropdown values. To import these values, please provide them in next format - '["apple","pineapple","strawberry"]' in your file (this format is required by EasySocial).
  • EasySocial Multiple Groups import. You can match column with EasySocial group name (if column contains several groups, they need to be separated by comma) and it will be imported.
  • Import on schedule (using Cron) is available.
  • NEW*: Email Report that can be downloaded after import is complete. This feature is useful if you enabled email notifications to new or existing users. So that you can download email report and see if all emails were sent.
Buying EasySocial import, you will also get:
  • 3 months support via Email, Skype or TeamViewer. Also free updates included for this time period.
  • Notifications of new features and fixes.

  • “Welcome” mails are disabled by default, but you can enable them in advanced settings on Step 2. You can even create your own message and send login/password.

  • Yes, our import supports all characters from UTF-8, for example: Ü, ß, É, 字
    But your file should be in UTF-8

  • Don't match (using sandwich) the password column on step 2. The import will create password column automatically on step 3

  • You need to do next steps:
    1. You need to click on "Switch to Advanced mode".
    2. Then you need to check "Notify newly added users".
    3. At message dialog click "Tools" then click "Source code"
    4 In "Source code" editor you can use HTML to customize your email the way you need.

  • 1. Your file should contain column where Groups are separated by comma, e.g. "Editor, Manager, Administrator". So that one user can have any amount of Groups.
    2. On "Step 2 (Settings)" match the column with "Groups" field. Please note that you no longer need to use "Joomla group:" dropbox.

  • Fortunately, there is such possibility.
    Joomla has "Require Password Reset" option and when it's enabled user will be required to change his password on the first/next login.
    To enable this you will need to have column in excel/csv file with values "Yes" (to require password reset) and "No" to not require it. And match this column with Joomla "Require Password Reset" field.

  • Fast way to fix this issue is to change settings in Joomla administrator panel. Please go to: System -> Global Configuration -> Server and change "Error Reporting" field to "None" value. If it don’t help - please contact us and provide us with ticket number.

  • Our extension is using standard Joomla functions to send emails, so actually we don't have much control on this process. Import extensions just gives email to Joomla and if Joomla's and Server's mail configurations are correct - email will be sent to inbox.

    So if users don't receive emails the problem might be in:

    1. Incorrect Joomla email configuration - ask your developer to check it out.
    2. Problems with mail service on the server - ask your system administrator to check it out.
    3. Some emails comes to spam/junk folder - ask user to check these folders too.

  • Our extension is using standard Joomla functions to send emails, so actually we don't have much control on this process.

    This issue is based on a few factors, which can be fixed/changed by server administrator and domain owner.

    1. Correct mail server configuration
    2. Server's IP might be black listed, you can check it here: http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
    3. You can use DKIM, SPF, DMARC to make your domains valid for mass mailing
    4. Keep valid reverse DNS records for the IP address(es).

  • Maximum file upload size is a global PHP setting (called upload_max_filesize), you need to increase this value. Most hosting providers allows to change this setting in your Hosting Control Panel. Also you can ask your system administrator or developer to change it.

  • You need to send email to us and provide us with details:

    1. How to reproduce bug
    2. Screenshots of bug
    3. Best way to describe the problem is to create video (you can use software like Jing)

    If you subscribed to support, you can count on fast update (1-2 work days)

  • Our extension doesn't support joomla's auto updater.

    You need to login on our web-site and download last version:
    My Account -> My Products -> Select your product -> Download button
