User import - non-unique usernames
rrlange - September 1, 2009 - 17:14
I am hoping that someone has some guidance for me. I am migrating about 50,000 users into a Drupal installation.
The challenge I am facing, is that our users do not have an unique username; however the structure for the table seems to indicate that it must be unique. - I do have a unique field ('email address') and could import that and insert it into the field. However, it also appears as if - when signing up - the '@' seems to be disallowed as an allowable character in the username field.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks!
What I would do is make the
What I would do is make the "username" unique by adding numbers or whatever, and then using the Email Registration module http://drupal.org/project/email_registration so that users login with their email address instead of a username.
