There is nothing terribly exotic about these tables, and if your passwords are pre-generated then you could insert them directly without needing the salt. Take a look at some existing users for an example of defaults if you are unsure. @Kirby

If your data is already in CSV then the simplest thing would be to loop through that file and insert the appropriate fields into the elggentities (do this first so you get a GUID) and elggusers_entity table.

There is nothing terribly exotic about these tables, and if your passwords are pre-generated then you could insert them directly without needing the salt.

Take a look at some existing users for an example of defaults if you are unsure.

This blog ranks very high on google for "how to import/export many users in elgg"... and it would be helpful if a solution was posted here.. for all. Any luck with this? I have all my users in a csv with pre md5 encrypted passwords. Thanks a ton, Kirby Hey Marcus,

However, I'm working on universal import / export for the new Elgg version. There will be an upgrade path, so you might want to wait a while and upgrade to 1.0 and then use the export functionality from there... @Danquigny At the moment there is no easy and universal way to export an entire blog from elgg to something else.

I wonder if it's possible to export an entire blog in an other blog outside elgg (WordlPress by example). And print a blog ?? Thanks Thierry Hi,
