Hi, I´ve got one dream vision: I would like to make "mashups" with using Google Maps with users´locations, but...
I need "pre-prepare" users´ accounts with rich profiles. And do this by automatically import function - I have a thousands of rows of these information.
So I´d like to do "users catalog" that way - visitor of site will be able to find his profile, log in to his account, and edit and complete all informations in profile (of course main condition - one user have only one own profile..), and add articles, posts, comments, and so on...
I have a CSV list with thousand informations like names, adresses - including latitudes, longtitudes, and other informations about potential users. I would like to make automatically USERS from this CSV (but the problem - I haven´t their email adresses! :-(
My first thought was to use modules Location, Profile, GMaps and User Import... it would be really simple solution (and I was really looking forward to realize it without any troubles), but...the problem is: module Location doesnot provide user´s Longtitude and Latitude for module User Import and so I cannot relate the items from CSV with user´s location... :-(
(but with the module Node import is possible to relate Location´s longitude and latitude of Node with the same items in imported CSV...)
I know modules CCK, Profiles, User Import, Node Profile, Node Family, User Node, Node Import, of course Views and GMaps, Location, and much more... and I combined all these modules, but I cannot get it like I need...
Is it possible to realize my idea?
Any other way?
Please help with any comments.
Thanks in advance

Whatabout for example - do special content type with CCK, with longitude, lattitude, .. import my data from CSV..

Switch to using Node Profile
Switch to using Node Profile and import the data into profile nodes using Node Import?
