I know when I have CiviCRM installed with Drupal that when a new user signs up they get added to CiviCRM too. I also know I can create a profile and have the user fill out additional contact information when they sign up with Drupal that will go in to the CiviCRM contact database.

I haven't had an opportunity to install this module yet, but in interest of research, I have some questions:

Is it possible to import the same profile information from CiviCRM using the User Import Module, so when I create a new site I can just import all my users at once and all their information will be in CiviCRM and Drupal?

If this isn't possible, does anyone have recommendations on which to import first?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Jen

I did an import like this last week.

At first I imported all the necessary fields within civicrm with the import module from civicrm.

Second I imported the users within drupal using user import.

Make sure the e-mailadress imported within civicrm is the same as the one imported in drupal!

Third I went back to civicrm and there I used the option to synchronize drupal users with civicrm contacts.

That's it!

Thanks evelien, I'll add that to the README.txt on the next release.
